About this generation

The seventh-generation Legacy made its debut at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show on February 7, 2019, to be sold at United States and Canadian dealerships starting in the third quarter of 2019 for the 2020 model year. Unlike the previous generations, the seventh generation Legacy will not be sold in Japan and Australia because of disappointing sales from its predecessor. The 2020 model year Legacy was moved to the Subaru Global Platform (SGP), which is torsionally stiffer compared to the previous generation Legacy.

Its exterior styling is similar to the previous generation model, but the headlights and the taillights are slightly restyled. The newly redesigned interior now features an 11.6 inch touchscreen on all trims except the base model, which has two 7 inch displays. Notable mechanical changes include an updated base engine, the FB25 now featuring direct injection, and a turbocharged 2.4 litre FA24 flat four engine from the Ascent for higher trim levels which replaces the outgoing 3.6 litre EZ36 flat six engine.

90% of the components in the new FB25 are new compared to its predecessor. In the USA, there are 5 Legacy trims: Base, Premium, Limited, Sport, and Touring XT. The Sport and Touring XT use the FA24F direct-injection turbocharged engine with 260 hp @ 5,600 rpm and 277 lb-ft @ 2,000 - 4,800 rpm. The Base, Premium and Limited use the FB25 2.5-litre DOHC engine with 182 HP @ 5,800 RPM and 176 lb-ft @ 4,400 RPM (starting with the 2024 year).

In terms of safety, there is a new optional facial recognition system which uses cameras to warn the driver if the system detects that they are distracted or fatigued. The 2025 model introduced the DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation, a camera‑based system that monitors driver attention and issues alerts for fatigue or distraction. It also recognizes up to five individual drivers' preferences (seat position, climate, mirrors).
