The 2022 Subaru Legacy remains a solid and reasonably-priced midsize sedan. As usual, the 2022 Legacy’s unique selling proposition is its standard symmetrical all-wheel-drive system with active torque vectoring, offering more grip and tighter handling when the tarmac turns to mush. If the latest Subaru Outback is too rugged (or stands too tall) for your tastes, the new Legacy fills the void quite nicely. Here’s what’s new for the 2022 Legacy sedan.
2022 Subaru Legacy: Engine & Powertrain
The 2022 Subaru Legacy has a standard 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated Boxer engine with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft. of torque. It also has a standard Lineartronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) with an eight-speed manual shift mode, selectable via paddles on the steering wheel.
Meanwhile, the 2022 Legacy Limited XT and Touring XT get a turbocharged 2.4-liter Boxer-four with 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft. of torque. It also has a Lineartronic CVT with eight virtual gears like in the standard non-turbo engine. Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive with active torque vectoring is standard for both engines.
