New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium Interior, Dimensions, Review
New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium Interior, Dimensions, Review – Except for the standard all-wheel drive system, the New 2027 Legacy Premium lacks many of the features that distinguish a modern Subaru from a contemporary model. Surprisingly, the brand’s family vehicle has a strengthened suspension. In addition, you won’t see any black plastic wheel-well covers. We felt it might be helpful to emphasize the features you’re seeking in our Outback station wagon and Forester SUV.
Those who like more conventional sedan silhouettes and respect the vehicle’s stature on the road would be great candidates for a Legacy Premium. Not only does the Legacy Premium boast timeless good looks, but it also has a spacious cabin, numerous standard safety and driver-assistance technology, and an abundance of connectivity options. Although it lacks the practicality of its more boxy siblings, it nevertheless manages to compete with other well-liked sedans such as the Camry, Accord, and Sonata.

New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
The Legacy Premium seems significantly roomier inside than the previous generation, especially in the rear, even though the dimensions don’t reflect it. While its style is still on the dowdy side, the Legacy Premium’s interior is utilitarian, with well-chosen materials throughout. Cloth upholstery is normal, although the high-end Limited and Touring models add leather.
Comfortable and ergonomically designed front seats are standard on higher trim levels, and those with particularly long legs may appreciate the driver’s seat’s manual thigh extension. The trunk is substantially large and fit eight carry-on luggage in our testing, one more than the Accord and two more than the Camry. New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium Interior
New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium Specs
Base models use a version of Subaru’s Starlink infotainment system that features dual 7.0-inch displays. The one-rung-up Premium model has the company’s latest 11.6-inch vertically oriented infotainment display that looks as if it had been borrowed from a Volvo. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration come standard. And while in-dash navigation is only standard on the Limited XT and Touring XT models, it’s optional on all but the base Legacy Premium. A four-speaker stereo is standard, Premium and Sport models come with a six-speaker setup, and anything above that gets a 12-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system.

Engine and Performance
A 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine is standard and makes 182 horsepower. Limited XT and Touring XT models come with a 260-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter engine. All Legacy Premium models have all-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). We’ve tested both engines now, and what a difference a turbo makes. The Touring XT managed to hit 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds while the non-turbo Sport required a lackluster 8.0 seconds. Regardless of which engine is under the hood, the new Legacy Premium boasts slightly improved handling dynamics over the last generation and a similarly compliant ride.
The non-turbo cars achieve higher fuel-economy estimates from the EPA—27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined—but the turbocharged models aren’t far behind at 24 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. In our real-world 200-mile highway fuel-economy tests, both powertrains delivered 34 mpg, 1 mpg short of the Accord 2.0T’s result. That said, the Subaru and Honda pale in comparison with the 2.5-liter-equipped Camry SE, which delivered an impressive 45 mpg.
