2023 Subaru Legacy Changes at a Glance

The exterior styling is the first and most obvious update arriving with the 2023 Subaru Legacy. You can find hints of the 2022 model's design, but overall, it looks like a brand new vehicle. The grille is wider, highlighted by a stylish chrome-trim bar that forms a distinctly new and sporty on-road presence. The front fascia and headlights have been updated with much the same — styled around the sleek, flowing modern trends that turn heads on the road.

The aggressive fog light trim completes the look, blending steadfast design cues with the future-looking style you seek. The rear end of the 2023 Subaru Legacy remains mostly the same, carrying forward the lovable character of the 2022 Legacy with some slight changes, like an available deck spoiler.

The interior design fine-tunes the luxurious, advanced cabin from 2022, with feature-based changes to boot. A new, enhanced EyeSight Driver Assist Technology package arrives with updates like a wider-angle EyeSight camera system and the newly-introduced Automatic Emergency Steering assist. You'll also get to enjoy easier connectivity with new wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.

New USB-C ports have been added inside the 2023 Subaru Legacy, and the trim level lineup has received some exciting performance-based changes.

2023 Subaru Legacy Specs & Performance

2023 Subaru Legacy changes

An often-forgotten part of the Legacy sedan's legacy is that it pioneered the Subaru brand's rally-racing exploits. While the WRX stepped in as the brand's thrilling rally-racing champion, the updated 2023 Subaru Legacy configurations will combine those thrills with the iconic Legacy comfort, practicality, and technology benefits.

Specifically, the Sport-trim kicks the "sport" factor up several notches by offering the previously top-end 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine at a middle-ground price. The 2023 Subaru Legacy Sport produces 260 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, rides on a sport-tuned suspension, and stands out with aggressive design elements (like a red grille insert) and exclusive wheels.

Every model will, naturally, continue to offer standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and you'll find that 260 horsepower turbo engine in the Limited XT and Touring XT trims to boot. Remarkably, this high-performance motor demands no compromise on efficiency; it offers an EPA-estimated 24/32 MPG (city/highway)1 in those 2022 trims mentioned above.

Models like the 2023 Subaru Legacy Premium should still offer the 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. In 2022 models, it delivered an EPA-estimated 27/35 MPG (city/highway).1

Turbo models should dash from 0 to 60 mph in around 6.1 seconds, and every model should offer a spacious passenger volume of up to 105.5 cubic feet, with a 15.1 cubic foot trunk.

2023 Subaru Legacy Interior & Exterior Upgrades

The 2023 Subaru Legacy will offer mostly the same features as a 2022-model-year new Subaru Legacy for sale, but with plenty of upgrades. For example, the 2022 model came with available 10-way driver's seat power-adjustability; the 2023 model will provide an available 12-way driver's seat with four-way power lumbar.

We've touched on most of the interior and exterior updates above, but a further upgrade comes to you as an available 360-degree heated steering wheel. The exterior has new machined-finish wheel designs that look fast even when your 2023 Subaru Legacy is at a standstill and more powerful headlights for full night-time confidence.

With a complete list of comfort and technology updates on its way, we're confident that the 2023 Subaru Legacy will be a sedan that you love getting into every day.
