New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium MSRP, Interior, Dimensions
New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium MSRP, Interior, Dimensions – With the exception of the basic all-wheel drive system, the 2027 Legacy Premium lacks many of the features that set a contemporary Subaru apart from a modern Subaru. Nothing about the brand’s family car suggests that it had a strengthened suspension. Additionally, you won’t see any black plastic wheel-well coverings. For those of you who are looking for those specific features, we would like to bring your attention to the Outback station wagon and the Forester SUV.
The target market for the Legacy Premium is those who like the traditional sedan body style and like the on-road look. The Legacy Premium has a spacious cabin with several safety and driver-assistance features, as well as a variety of connection choices, in addition to its conventional appearance. It is comparable to other well-known sedans like the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Camry in terms of practicality, even if it is not nearly as good as its boxier brethren.

New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
Though the measurements may not show it, the Legacy Premium’s cabin feels much bigger than the last generation’s, particularly in the back. While its design is still on the dowdy side, the Legacy Premium’s interior is functional, with well-chosen materials throughout. Cloth upholstery is standard, but the high-end Limited and Touring models have leather. The front seats are well sculpted and comfortable, and the upper trims feature a manual thigh extension for the driver’s seat, a boon to long-legged buyers. The trunk is generously sized and held eight carry-on suitcases in our testing, one more than the Accord and two more than the Camry.
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. New 2027 Subaru Legacy Premium MSRP
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.
