2019 Subaru Legacy

Pros: Spacious interior; controlled, comfortable ride; standard all-wheel drive; large trunk

Cons: Middling fuel economy with 6-cylinder engine; some ergonomic issues with climate controls and available navigation system

CG Says: The 2019 Subaru Legacy now has EyeSight Driver Assist Technology standard on all models. EyeSight includes pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. The 2.5i Sport model gains blind-spot alert and rear cross-traffic alert. Subaru’s midsize sedan has two engines choices: a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four cylinder and a 256-hp 3.6-liter six-cylinder. Both are paired with a CVT automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard. Available safety features include pre-collision warning and autonomous braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic reverse braking. These midsize cars are pleasant to drive, have great interior room, and come with a lot of equipment at reasonable prices. Standard all-wheel drive is a bonus for snow-belt states. While any Legacy is a solid choice, we like the 3.6R models, which have good power and lots of features for the money.
