Subaru and safety seem to be synonymous. When someone buys a new Subaru sedan such as the Legacy or Impreza they know that a safe drive is what they can look forward to. But that isn’t all these sedans have to offer. The biggest problem drivers will have is choosing between the Subaru Legacy and the Subaru Impreza. There are differences in these two but they may seem so small that no one notices. We want to break down the differences so you can make an informed decision when it comes time to purchase.
2020 Subaru Legacy
The Subaru Legacy is the largest of the two sedans. It also has the most powerful engine. While both of these cars offer a spacious interior for passengers, the legacy is slightly roomier. This model offers more than five extra feet of interior space. It also has a larger truck space of almost three feet more for carrying all of the things a small family might need.
Since it is larger, the fuel economy is not as good as the Impreza. But the difference is almost negligible at 37 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg in the city. The Legacy also has more safety features as well as added technology. Eyesight Driver Assist is standard on this model as well as an 11.6 inch touch screen.
While both the Subaru Impreza and the Legacy offer luxurious features like heated front seats and leather interior, the Legacy takes it one step further. With the addition of a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats as well as Nappa Leather.
The Legacy does have a higher price point to start but is still affordable to a wide demographic. The starting MSRP for the 2020 Subaru Legacy is $22,745. This price can increase as upgrades and trim packages are added.
2020 Subaru Impreza
The Subaru Impreza is a great choice for the commuters out there. With amazing gas mileage and some luxurious features, your morning commute will be a breeze. This is similar to the Legacy sedan but it is the smaller, more economy version. The price point starts at nearly $2,000 less than the Legacy and gets slightly better gas mileage. While there are more tech, safety, and luxury features that come standard on the Legacy, the Impreza has many of them available when upgraded.
This model gets 38 MPG on the highway and 28 MPG in the city. It does not come with Eyesight Driver Assist as a standard feature but it is available. The Impreza has heated front seats as well as leather interior but does not have the 11.7 inch touch screen. Instead, you will find a smaller version of the screen.
With a starting price of $18,695 this is an affordable option for those that want a safe and luxurious ride to work.
