Introducing the all-new 2020 Subaru Legacy.
Love, for all the right reasons.
The safest, most reliable, most advanced, best Subaru Legacy ever is here and it’s completely redesigned — inside and out. The 2020 Legacy features enhanced safety and performance, a refined interior with even more comfort and style, and convenient technology upgrades including an all-new intuitive big-screen interface. Plus, with the award-winning safety of standard Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology[1] and the newly available DriverFocus™ Distraction Mitigation System[2], the Legacy takes confidence and convenience to a new level. And you can count on a Legacy to be long-lasting and dependable, with 96% of Legacy vehicles sold in the last 10 years still on the road today[3].
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive + 35 MPG
Designed for optimal balance and an even distribution of power for maximum traction, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive makes for exceptional stability, impressive efficiency, and a quick response to conditions. The durable SUBARU BOXER® engine is combined with a Lineartronic® CVT to deliver up to a fuel-efficient 35 MPG highway.
Comfortable Versatile
SUBARU STARLINK™
Multimedia
The centerpiece of the completely redesigned Legacy interior is the available all-new 11.6-inch STARLINK Multimedia touchscreen. The stunning big-screen interface makes it easy and intuitive to customize entertainment options and delivers seamless control of the standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration[14].
Built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot
Connectivity
With Wi-Fi capability built right into the 2020 Legacy, passengers can stream and share their favorite content online using the 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot[15]. From the moment you start your Subaru, up to eight devices can connect. Then everyone can easily stream their TV shows, movies, and music, or play games, check email, and much more.
Premium Audio
The Legacy features an available Harman Kardon premium audio system with 12 speakers and a 576-watt-equivalent amplifier to deliver a clear, powerful soundtrack to any drive.
Largest, Most Comfortable Legacy Interior Ever
The interior has been completely redesigned for extra comfort, style, and passenger space — making the 2020 Legacy the most comfortable ever. Plus, it’s the quietest cabin of any Legacy we’ve ever made. A 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory function and a new power passenger seat with height adjustment are available to ensure optimal comfort is just a touch away. Rear seat passengers get more space for comfort with 39.5 inches of rear legroom — more than Accord, Camry, Malibu, or Sonata.
Vigilant Safety Technology
Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology can apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations with Pre-Collision Braking[5]. In fact, EyeSight has been found to reduce rear-end crashes with injuries by up to 85%[6]. The 2020 Legacy features all-new Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering[7], which can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control — both in daily traffic and on long road trips.
Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System
New for the 2020 Legacy, the mid-size sedan class exclusive DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System helps reduce distracted driving for both new and experienced drivers[8]. Each day in the United States, more than 1,000 people are injured in crashes reported to have involved a distracted driver[9]. Working with our award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, the new DriverFocus system is like having an attentive co-pilot along for the ride, available to give a helpful alert if a driver becomes distracted or drowsy. For added convenience, DriverFocus can also recognize up to five different drivers and remember their preferences, including seat position, climate settings, and outside mirror position.
SUBARU STARLINK™ Safety and Security
STARLINK Safety and Security[10] offers an array of connected services to help keep you and your Legacy safe. Advanced Automatic Collision Notification will alert an operator in the event of an accident. SOS Emergency Assistance can get you roadside help at the push of a button. Plus, there are convenience features to make driving even more enjoyable, like Remote Engine Start with Climate Control, accessible via your smartphone[11], and STARLINK Concierge services.
All-Around Awareness
A suite of safety technologies is available on the 2020 Legacy to help protect you and your passengers. The Blind-Spot Detection[12] system warns you with a visual indicator in each side mirror if it senses a vehicle in your blind spots. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert[12] helps warn you of traffic approaching from the side as you are backing up, and a standard Rear-Vision Camera enhances visibility when reversing. And with available Reverse Automatic Braking, your vehicle can even stop itself to help avoid objects behind you[13].
LED Steering Responsive Headlights and High Beam Assist
Get a clearer look around every bend with available LED Steering Responsive Headlights, which actively track in the direction of a turn to enhance visibility. Standard High Beam Assist can automatically switch the headlights between the high and low settings when an oncoming vehicle is detected, enhancing safety for both you and other drivers on the road.
Engineered to Last
Built for the Long Road Ahead
You can count on the all-new Legacy for all the adventures ahead, because 96% of Legacy vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today[3]. That’s part of the reason why ALG found Subaru vehicles retain their value better than any other brand for four years running[16].
The Quietest Legacy Ever
The 2020 Legacy is built on the Subaru Global Platform, using extensive high-strength steel for 70% more rigidity, long-lasting quality, and the quietest Legacy cabin yet. With great durability and vibration resistance, the Global Platform provides enhanced crash safety, better driving feel, and confidence for years to come.
Newly Updated SUBARU
BOXER Engine
The standard direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine is more powerful, more advanced, and more efficient as well. It provides 182 horsepower, and with new Auto Start-Stop Technology delivers improved combined fuel economy and up to 35 MPG highway. With an expansive 18.5 gallon fuel tank, this gives Legacy almost 650 miles of total highway range[4] — taking you further on your daily adventures.
360 Degrees of Visibility
The 2020 Legacy features a standard Rear-Vision Camera to provide extra safety when reversing. And a newly available 180-Degree Front View Monitor gives the same confidence that your path ahead is safe and clear.
All-New Touring XT Model
Elevating Legacy Performance and Style
The all-new Touring XT takes the capable power and refined style of the Legacy even further. It features an all-new 260-horsepower Direct-Injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine that delivers 277 pound-feet of torque. Inside, you’ll find sophisticated design elements like genuine Nappa Leather, enhancements for every passenger’s comfort, and convenient technology upgrades.
Direct-Injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine
The Touring XT is powered by a 260-horsepower Direct-Injection Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine for extra power and exhilarating performance while still delivering up to 32 MPG and nearly 600 miles of range[4].
Nappa Leather
The Touring XT interior features genuine Nappa Leather upholstery, enveloping you and your passengers with soft, comfortable accomodations and warm, refined style.
Heated Steering Wheel, Front and Rear Seats
The Touring XT steering wheel is heated for a warm, comfortable grip during winter driving. Whether you’re on a winter ski trip or a summer beach vacation, the heated and ventilated seating — offered for the first time on a Legacy — ensure the interior comfort of the Touring XT matches its all-conditions capability.
