Subaru is known for safety and reliability, and the 2022 Subaru Legacy touts both qualities. The Subaru Legacy is a sensible midsize sedan that offers all-wheel drive as standard and boasts solid resale value. The Legacy is generally a safe choice for families, college students, and anyone that needs an all-wheel-drive sedan that will be reliable and consistent for years to come. There are very few sedans that come with all-wheel as standard, which makes the Legacy a great bet for snowy climates.
The 2022 Subaru Legacy gets more standard equipment at the lower trims for this year. A new generation of the Legacy debuted in 2020 and gave the all-wheel-drive sedan a stiffer body, which allowed for a better-tuned suspension and improved crash protection. For this year, the Legacy has been awarded five out of five stars by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and got a Top Safety Pick+ rating (the highest available), from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
At its base, the 2022 Subaru Legacy comes now gets steering-responsive headlights as part of its roster of standard equipment. The Legacy comes standard with a flat-4 boxer engine that puts out 182-horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. The top trims come with a turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-4 that makes 260-horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Both versions use a continuously variable transmission or CVT.
