2022 Subaru Legacy Review: Old Faithful

Auto123 reviews the 2022 Subaru Legacy Limited GT.

Time was, if you wanted to point to one quality that lifted the Subaru Legacy above all others in its class, that would be obvious: the brand’s trademark all-wheel-drive system. There were few if any mid-size sedans that offered that, at least not from the entry model on up.

Now, though, that playing field has largely been leveled as competing models like the Altima from Nissan and the Camry from Toyota increasingly feature that configuration, without it costing buyers more.

Where does that leave the Legacy? Not in such a bad place, actually. For one thing, Subaru’s system is still rated among the best AWDs in the trade. And for another, the Legacy has more qualities than just that. It’s roomy enough for a family of four, drives quite positively, and it’s pleasant-looking without being flashy in any way.

For 2022, there are no real changes to speak of, the current seventh-generation Legacy having gotten its big makeover in 2020. A few previously optional items are now standard, and there have been a few additions to and removals from the colour choices, but that’s about it.
