How the Surefooted Subaru Legacy Out-Performs the Midsize Sedan Competition Year after Year

What does the Subaru Legacy have that other midsize sedans don't? We're so glad you asked! The latest Legacy still boasts all of those selling points that make it popular model year after model year, and yet the brand tacks on trendsetting technologies and safety systems to keep things current. See how it measures up to some of its toughest competition, Honda Accord, by reading the quick comparison below:

The Subaru Legacy versus the Honda Accord

• The Legacy offers everything from remote vehicle access to emergency assistance with the available Subaru STARLINK® Connected Services packages. The Accord doesn't off a vehicle security system of emergency telematics.


• Cargo versatility is another strongpoint of the Legacy with standard 60/40-split folding rear seats -- a feature Honda has Accord drivers pay more for.


• When it comes to all-weather drivability, there's no competing with the Legacy's standard all-wheel drive (AWD) system. Not only is AWD a rarity in the family-car segment, it's nearly unheard of as a standard offering. The Accord, however, follows the less-equipped crowd with its front-wheel drive design (with no available AWD system).


• You'll enjoy greater overall passenger volume in the Legacy in the form of more front legroom and headroom, as well as more rear hip room and shoulder room. The Accord is less accommodating of its passengers' need for personal space.


• Legacy drivers will benefit from Subaru's fuel-efficient engineering regardless of which of the two available engines they choose. The AWD base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (which is paired with a standard CVT) is more efficient than the base manual Accord model. The AWD V6 Legacy model is also more efficient than the six-cylinder Accord coupe. Looks like all the numbers are adding up in favor of the fuel-sipping Legacy.


• Smartphone app integration and Aha audio streaming are also standard on the latest Legacy. This type of contemporary connectivity is buried in more expensive Accord models.
