2017 Subaru Legacy Review

The 2017 Subaru Legacy offers great value, with many standard features that would amount to pricey add-ons for other makes. Chief among these is Subaru's legendary all-wheel drive (AWD), which comes standard on all vehicles from the base model up. 

Combine these benefits with adept handling, an ultra-comfortable and roomy interior, and understated style, and you have a recipe for an amazing car. Learn about the features of this vehicle and where Oneida, Liverpool, and Syracuse drivers looking for a reliable, comfortable mid-size Subaru like the 2017 Subaru Legacy can find one for a test drive.

2017 Subaru Legacy Performance

The 2017 Subaru Legacy's performance numbers stand out against most competitors in its segment. A 175-horsepower, 2.5-liter flat-four engine comes standard, offering a wide powerband off its advanced continuously variable transmission. A 256-horsepower, 3.6-liter inline-six option exists for those looking for even more power. 

As mentioned before, both options come with standard Symmetrical AWD, which powers all four wheels simultaneously for maximum grip, handling, and takeoff. Dynamic Stability Traction Control manages power distribution in the event of uneven grip. Power-steering tweaks implemented for the 2016 Legacy help steering feel responsive and well connected to what's going on in front of the driver. 

Subaru Legacy Exterior 

On its exterior, the 2017 Subaru Legacy forgoes flashiness in favor of a modest but still stylish design. If anything, the restraint shown helps prevent the model from attaining "oddball" features like over-aggressive body cladding or bizarre headlamp shapes seen in competitors. 

Subaru made tweaks to the front grille and headlights to create a more defined and balanced look for the vehicle's front. Clean sidelines with just the right amount of bulge along the character line help the vehicle look handsome while it whizzes by other traffic. 

Standard 17-inch tires provide sufficient grip and braking ability while giving the vehicle a slightly more muscular appearance. New for 2017, a Legacy Sport trim offers 18-inch wheels, chrome accents, a dark gray grille, and other changes to add a taste of flash to the vehicle.

Subaru Legacy Interior 

The 2017 Subaru Legacy offers hands down the most interior room of any midsize vehicle. It also tacks on the standard goodies, including infotainment, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a USB charging port. 

Comfortable roominess, soft and supportive seats, and a dashboard designed with high attention to detail improve the owner experience significantly when using the 2017 Legacy as a daily driver. 

Safety Features of the Subaru Legacy 

The 2017 Subaru Legacy achieved perfect five-star scores in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) testing. Available active safety features beef up the security even more. Subaru's EyeSight safety technologies include Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Active Cruise Control and-new for the Legacy in 2017-Lane Keeping Assist.
