Subaru Legacy Touring in more detail
More detailed contextOverview
The Subaru Legacy Touring focuses on all-weather assurance from AWD and good value in its segment at a price of 29,000.
It seats five, delivers 182 hp with 0–100 km/h in 8.4 s, and returns a combined 8.2 L/100 km.
Strengths that stand out
Top-tier safety (5 stars) and a solid reliability score (84) suit family use and confidence on longer trips.
Trunk space of 425 L covers everyday errands, and AWD helps in changing conditions while keeping consumption reasonable for its class.
Consider before you buy
Power and acceleration prioritize comfort over thrills, and the 425 L trunk can feel limiting for bulky gear.
Shoppers seeking premium branding or hybrid-level efficiency may prefer alternatives at a similar price.
