Is the 2021 Subaru Legacy XT a BETTER midsize sedan than a Camry AWD?

The Legacy has been in Subaru's lineup for many years, and has always had AWD. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged flat-r that is pumping out 260HP & mated to a CVT transmission. On the outside you will find simple Subaru styling. On the inside you will be greeted to an 11.6in infotainment system, higher fit and finish.

My wife wanted one of these in Touring XT trim. We cross-shopped the competition and this is the only car that ticked all the boxes: AWD, great interior design, comfortable ride, memory seats, decent power, quiet and efficient. I wanted a K5 GT but I couldn't find one within a thousand miles to even test drive, so I said screw it. Anyway, I've got a Challenger Scat Pack Shaker for hooning around in...

I’ve been looking for recent legacy reviews! Ty for it

[@joeg.5669]

I have a 2020 Touring XT and love it. The review is pretty spot on. A very comfortable ride and a lot of overall bang for the buck. Yes the infotainment system can be a bit quirky but I think that holds true for many other brands including my former Honda Accord. Speaking of the Accord and reliability.....I unloaded my 2013 accord because of the starter issue which Honda acknowledges with a Service Bulletin but not a recall. I had to have my starter replaced. It was fine for 6 months and then the same issue started again. I used to be one who always praised the reliability of Honda and sadly I no longer share that opinion. From my experiences, that seems to have slipped over the last decade.

[@mariowhyte2816]

Solberg, McRae and Burns on throttle tiiiiiiiime!!! Subaru has the symmetrical AWD down to a science!!! The Legacy absolutely plays it safe but hey if it ain't broke don't fix it huh!?

[@jeffmorse645]

I bought a Legacy Touring XT at the beginning of summer. Shopped all mid size sedans and it was the most comfortable for my 6' 4" frame. The Touring XT has a pull out thigh extension that really supports my legs. Easily the most comfortable seats in the class and on the Touring they're ventilated. They're a really sharp tan nappa leather too. One of the best looking interiors in class. Plus it beat all others in ride comfort and quietness. Yeah, the exterior styling is pretty conservative, but its not faddish and will still look like a Subaru Legacy ten years down the road. Plus it has the best resale value in the class. The engine is really strong too and the CVT is fine as long as you're not driving like a complete idiot. Subaru's is an in-house design and chain driven. One of the best CVTs on the market. All in all I'm really happy with it.

[@greggelato]

I totally agree Jeff. I am a first time Subaru owner and I also have been driving a 2021 Legacy Touring XT since January. You can not compare a the car to a Honda or Toyota in it's class because they don't offer AWD, or heated seats in the rear. And don't even get me started with a transversed mounted engine, just try working on one and you will never own one.

[@donpaulweatherpluspaul2670]

Always enjoy your reviews with your energy and some wit. You just made me feel better about ordering (for lease) a 2023 Legacy XT Touring edition. I've had 7 consecutive leased high-end Accords, but the extra length of the 2023 made it too long for my garage and eliminated the Accord from consideration. (I'll miss the 2.0L/10AT drivetrain in my current Touring edition, and the great West Herr dealership, true enough.) My test drive in the XT plus refreshing my memory on the Symmetrical AWD living here in Buffalo were enough to convince me the Legacy was the way to go, since my wife already has a big, fat 4 door Wrangler Rubicon. The salesguy also steered me toward the Legacy as soon as he heard what my wifey drives. It's not QUITE as fast as the great Honda drivetrain, and the handling/body roll MIGHT be a tad softer, but I'm an old dude who will appreciate the comfort with the gorgeous brown Nappa leather. Besides, you properly zonked the new Accord on a few counts, and the great drivetrain is gone, anyway. The Legacy comes in a plainer wrapper, but with a fairly sumptuous interior. A zonk on the auto start/stop, the supposedly less responsive touch screen and the lack of LED turn signals up front, but the plusses outweigh the minuses. Everyone who commits to an order likes seeing a review like yours after the fact to support a decision. (I also put a deposit on a Sport Touring CRV after test driving it, but Honda leases on that impossible to find edition are outta sight...much better deal with the faster Legacy.) Thanks!

Sadly the Legacy has being discontinued in New Zealand with the market in love with SUV’s. Would love to see it on sale here as a standalone model in turbo spec. You are fortunate to get this model in the US. Very understated as per most Subaru’s but this vehicle definitely deserves to be successful.

[@dhanipersaud6227]

It's being discontinued everywhere except North America. Don't worry you're not missing much even in XT turbo trim. It does not drive well at all but it does have more space and tech than the older cars and better for people of larger stature. You're better off picking up a Levorg.

I have this exact vehicle in Black. I love it, I would however; choose a different color if given a chance. The black does look sharp when clean, but it shows every speck of dirt, and that is so annoying. The only other change I would make regarding the car is the addition of cooled seats. That option is only available on the next trim up (highest available); but I didn't care for the interior color scheme- with the Nappa leather- which is the only choice you have for that trim choice. It's a shame they don't offer a seat upgrade as a choice; that would have made the car perfect. Rides smooth, love the AWD and it does have a nice kick with the turbo engine.

That would be a smart choice, they probably would save money for all the warranty work and transmission replacements they have to do for their crappy CVT.

Mixed feelings...I love my 4cyl 15 legacy limited. Purchased used and cheap in '18 w/ 55k miles on it and well documented from a friend. Best all season car I've ever owned. Looking for a replacement in '22 or '23 but I think I'm set on a camry because of the Subaru cvt trans. Subarus have better CVTs (Made in house) but it's still a cvt. I'd be concerned about adding that extra turbo power or v6 in a cvt transmission. 8k to replace when out of warranty as repairing them is apparently not an option. Toyota has 8 sp auto and naturally aspirated v6 as option. I don't know why Subaru refuses to put in a proper trans especially in the 6 cyl's or turbo 4's with more power. Frustrating for me as that is the only issue I have with Subaru. My subaru passed 110k miles so I want to get rid of it before problems with cvt start. I had trans fluid changed at 90k just to help extend its life.

It's still a cvt and it's still a DI on the FB25 (not turbo) unlike the Camry's engine, the 2.5 D-4S which has combined fuel injection ...so not just a cvt as a potential problem but also risks of long term carbon build up on the Subi .

For years members of the Subaru fraternity were forced to make excuses for the budget interiors of their vehicles that helped pay for the brand's unique commitment to AWD. That weakness finally dawned on Subaru and the new models reflect the upgrades. Likewise, the 2.4L turbo in the Legacy (and the Outback) is a significant improvement (and far better suited to those models than to the very slow selling Ascent.) Unfortunately, the styling of the Legacy, despite some updates, remains "frumpy" compared to its rivals in the midsize sedan category. And Subaru's devotion to their version of a CVT transmission doesn't help. (CVTs have improved significantly in recent years but they remain a black mark for many consumers.) The result is flat sales compared to the first half of 2020, an especially problematic comparison given the fact that sales in the first half of 2020 was a pandemic casualty. Overall, sales of mainstream midsize sedans in 2021 have improved by 23% over 2020. The Legacy sale are up only 0.38%.

to me it looks just like my 06 altima shape-wise but a bit nicer here and there yet I bet the price is farther apart than the style is

[@PrincessTS01]

i bought my New 2006 Altima for $19K second on jan 20 2006, what the hell has happened to the prices since then? After I bought my first new car, the cost nowadays has exploded. my pay has not kept up.

Subaru should introduce an STI version of the Legacy. That would put the Accord Sport2.0 on notice

[@donpaulweatherpluspaul2670]

As you probably know by now, the Accord's fab 2.0/10 spd AT is gone.

I have current Impreza CVT and a 2021 Rav 4 , Toyota has a better throttle response due to a real 8 speed auto !

[@timvibes]

I would choose this because of the bigger screen, but that CVT needs to go.

[@Yoursistersazz]

This is a better value than the current Camry Joe! Nicer interior as well

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you like this one.

[@joek81981]

Do they (or will they) make a version of the Legacy that has what they did to the Impreza/Crosstrek? Like, a Legacy that's been given a Crosstrek'ed treatment? x : Legacy : : Crosstrek : Impreza Do they make x?

You didn’t post that sneak peek on your community post.

Sorry Dave. I am doing a ton of traveling for the channel right now.

[@VQSeries]

Was wondering what happened to this car, forgot about this model and haven't seen Legacy's around in a bit.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@robbyu.672]

Man the exterior of this thing is hanging out with 2012 while the interior is dancing in 2025. So weird!

Seats 💺 look really really nice 👌 😍 👍
