Subaru Legacy Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Legacy is Subaru's midsize sedan, and it comes with standard all-wheel drive, which has always set it apart from most of its competitors. Subaru has reportedly ended production of the Legacy in the US after the 2025 model year, so 2025 is the most recent year with full pricing. If you are shopping for one today, the question is mostly about leftover new inventory and used cars.

Because the model has been discontinued, check with a Subaru dealer before you plan around the numbers below. Remaining new cars may sell at a discount, and availability will vary by region.

The Base trim is the entry point at $26,810. The Premium lists at $29,110. The Limited steps up to $35,920, and the Sport sits close to it at $36,410. The Touring XT, which is the top trim and uses a turbocharged engine, lists at $40,110.

The biggest jump is between the Premium and the Limited, where the trim shifts from a basic sedan to a better equipped one. The Limited and the Sport are close in price, but they aim at different buyers. One leans toward comfort and the other toward sportier styling. The Touring XT is the most expensive and adds the turbo.

The prices above are before the destination charge that Subaru adds to every new car.

You will also pay sales tax, title, registration, and any documentation fee. Prices at the dealer may differ from the MSRP on a model that is being cleared out, so ask for an out-the-door quote in writing.

When a manufacturer ends a model, shoppers often wonder about parts, service, and resale. Subaru typically supports its vehicles with parts and service for many years after production ends, and the Legacy shares a lot with other Subaru vehicles. It is still reasonable to ask the dealer about warranty coverage on a new leftover and how long parts availability is expected to continue.

Resale value can be harder to predict for a discontinued sedan. Some buyers prefer the all-wheel-drive Legacy for its practical qualities, which can help it hold value. Look at used listings in your area to see where prices stand.

If a new 2025 is available, the price may include dealer discounts or manufacturer incentives. A used Legacy from a prior year can cost less, and Subaru's certified pre-owned program adds an inspection and a warranty extension. Compare the total cost of each option, including the age and mileage of the used cars. An independent mechanic can inspect a used car before you buy, which is a good idea whatever the brand.

Before you commit to a leftover Legacy, put a few questions to the salesperson. Ask which model year the car is and when it arrived, because a car that has sat on the lot for a long time may deserve a larger discount. Ask whether the full factory warranty still applies from the date of purchase or from an earlier in-service date. Request the complete window sticker so you can see every option and its price, and ask whether any dealer-installed accessories are included in the quoted total.

If you are also trading in a car, keep the two negotiations separate. Settle the price of the Legacy first, then discuss the trade-in value.

All-wheel drive tends to use somewhat more fuel than front-wheel drive, though it also adds traction in snow and rain. Insurance varies by driver and location. Routine maintenance follows the owner's manual schedule, and both Subaru dealers and independent shops can handle it. The turbocharged Touring XT may cost more to maintain and run than the other trims, particularly for fuel.

• Ask several Subaru dealers whether they have any new Legacy in stock and what they will charge out the door.
• Check for current Subaru incentives, which may still apply to remaining 2025 cars.
• Compare a new leftover against a certified used car.
• Skip add-ons you did not request.
