The 2017 Subaru Legacy is a well-appointed, all-weather sedan that goes the distance, says The Car Connection in a new review. It's value comes into focus when you consider that all-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, a distinction unique among its peers, and one that bears serious consideration if you like in areas of the country with rough weather conditions.
The new Legacy offers an impressive list of standard equipment including a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment with internet streaming, rearview camera, standard all-wheel-drive (AWD), continuously variable transmission (CVT), comprehensive standard safety, and nearly 30 mpg combined (that's right, 30 mpg COMBINED).
The 2017 Subaru Legacy comes with two powertrain options, both mated to a CVT and all-wheel drive. A 2.5-liter flat-4 that makes 175 horsepower is our pick. A bigger 3.6-liter flat-6 is available in top Limited trim - good for pulling off high-altitude passes. But keep the 2.5-liter flat-4 a couple programmed "gears" lower—the CVT uses gears and pulleys—and it'll pass just fine.
The Car Connection says Subaru's AWD system works well here and on-board electronics help keep the Legacy in shape on the twisty stuff—even though its sporting potential ends at its new-for-2017 Sport trim, which is effectively an appearance package.
