With a few exceptions, Subaru’s range is the automotive equivalent of Mom jeans: not conventionally attractive, but everyone seems to have one. We won’t judge, but it’s hard to complain about a mid-size, all-wheel drive sedan that starts from US$ 24,895. We’re talking about the 2025 Legacy, which largely holds the line on pricing. However, while the car costs the same as the 2024 model, the destination fee has climbed yet again. It started 2024 at US$ 1,090 and finished out the year at US$ 1,120. For 2025, it climbs to US$ 1,145 and pushes the overall price to US$ 26,040.
That’s barely worth mentioning, but so are
the updates. However, the Legacy Limited now comes equipped with a power
moonroof, a heated steering wheel, and an 11.6-inch infotainment system with
GPS navigation. Buyers will also find a Harman Kardon premium audio system and
a DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, which uses a camera to monitor and
recognize drivers. These features used to be included in a US$ 2,060 package,
so it’s not surprising Legacy Limited pricing climbs from US$ 31,945 to US$ 34,005.
For those who can’t be bothered with the math, that’s a difference of US$ 2,060.
The changes to the 2025 Outback are
similar as the wagon continues to begin at US$ 28,895. That’s the same price as
the 2024 model, but the destination fee has climbed from US$ 1,295 to US$ 1,345
and now US$ 1,395. Like its sedan counterpart, the Outback Limited gains
additional equipment as well as a higher price tag. It now begins at US$ 37,855
which is up from last year’s price of US$ 35,795.
There doesn’t appear to be any other
changes, so drivers will find a familiar powertrain lineup that includes a
naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter engine developing 182 hp and 238 Nm of torque. It’s connected to a continuously variable transmission
and a standard all-wheel drive system. Customers can also opt for a 2.4-liter
turbo. It’s a significant upgrade as it develops 260 hp and 375 Nm of torque.
