Trims, Powertrain, and Performance

You’ll have five trim choices for the 2025 Legacy: Base, Premium, Limited, Sport, and Touring XT. The Base, Premium, and Limited receive a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (output: 182 hp and 176 lb.-ft. of torque), while the Sport and Touring XT get a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 260 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines are paired with a continuously variable transmission with paddle shifters; it transfers the power to the standard all-wheel drivetrain. According to the EPA, the 2.5-liter versions achieve an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, while those with the 2.4-liter turbo pull off 23 city/31 highway.

Amenities By Trim

The Base Legacy is equipped with remote keyless entry, cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, a 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatback, single-zone automatic climate control, power windows with front one-touch auto-up/down, a USB-A data port, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, LED steering-responsive headlights, and 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. The Premium adds a second automatic climate control zone, plus heated front seats with power adjustability for the driver, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, two USB-C ports (one data and one charging), a USB-A charge port, heated side mirrors with built-in turn indicators, and a windshield wiper de-icer. Some options for this trim include proximity keyless entry, push-button start, LED fog lights, and a moonroof.

The Limited gets all of the Premium’s optional features as standard equipment, along with leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, position memory for the driver’s seat and exterior mirrors, a power-adjustable front passenger’s seat, heated rear outboard seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, power rear windows with one-touch auto-up/down, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. The Sport drops the position memory settings and heated rear outboard seats, but it gains the turbocharged engine, sport cloth upholstery with red contrast stitching, a decklid spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets with stainless-steel tips. Aside from getting the same exhaust system as the Sport, the Touring XT builds on the Limited’s equipment list with Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and a CD player.
