Subaru Prices 2025 Legacy, Outback

by Matthew Guy

Published: April 12th, 2024

In a change from most stories about the topic of pricing, Subaru has chosen to hold the line on cost for most trims of its midsize Legacy sedan and Outback station wagon.

Kicking things off is the entry-level model, just called the Legacy and bearing a starting price of $24,895 which is precisely its ask last year. Same goes for the entry trim Outback which bears a sticker of $28,895. Again, that is exactly what the car cost in its 2024 model year. Every trim gets the Subaru EyeSight driver assistance tech and a continuously variable transmission. We weep for the days when one could get a well-equipped all-wheel drive big sedan from the Exploding Galaxy with a manual transmission. Thank goodness the WRX still exists, though its a compact and priced just over 32 grand.

About the only trim which moves the needle with any sort of urgency is the Limited; that model tacks an extra $2,000 onto its MSRP but it should be noted Subaru has chosen to make features like a power moonroof, DriverFocus distraction mitigation system, navigation, and a 360-degree heated steering wheel standard now on Limited trims. In terms of value for money, it’s roughly a wash.

We’ll take this chance to remind all hands that most Outbacks have 8.7 inches of ground clearance save for the Wilderness trim which jacks that figure to tiptoe an impressive 9.5 inches above terra firma. This far outstrips a multitude of competitive crossovers and even some burly SUVs. In case you need a refresher, non-XT trim levels are equipped with a 2.5L boxer that produces 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the Outback Wilderness and all XT trim levels are equipped with a 2.4L turbocharged boxer engine good for 260 hp and 277 lb.-ft of twist.

There is one small hike, of course – destination and delivery fees are now $1,395 which represents a jump of $50 from the 2024 model year. However, in a world where prices are rising more reliably than the morning sun, it’s a relatively small ding to the wallet.

I am interested in the Forester. However according to Subaru Canada's website you have to go up 3 trim levels on the 2024 model to get the blind spot monitoring. And that I have been told by my wife is a 'must'.

Not a big fan of the boxer engine design or the CVT but where else can you get a mid-sized station wagon, with a higher roofline and decent greenhouse and AWD for less than $45K (yes that it was they cost in Canada the mid/upper trim with tax/destination).

KOKing Kinda hate to say this but they need to be an American Land Rover sans the offroad image (and capability). Leave the Escalade alone and do a shrunken Escalade-esque lineup (the first time I saw a Hyundai Palisade I thought that was the XT6 that Cadillac shoulda made) and dump the alphabet soup models and trims.
Theflyersfan How to fix Cadillac? Blackwing.Now I know (because I've asked) dealers are still thinking they are selling Demons with the kinds of markups on Blackwings, but for enthusiast drivers in the know, those cars are legit. They get lost in the shuffle of M-this and AMG-that, but they hold their own. However, with rising CAFE standards and upcoming emissions requirements, along with European CO2 limits, they all can't be turbo V8s with no hybrid propulsion. So at least mild hybrid them to try to eke out another 8-10 mpg average. That's a good start. Do something with the Escalade. These aren't the early 2000s when they had the hip hop image and every corner had a jet black Escalade with chrome rims. In my area, you just don't see them any longer as money has moved to the Germans. If they want to compete with the Germans, they have to downsize it and crank the engine up to 11. It's still way too truckish to compete with the Q8, X7, and GLS. Even though they probably don't want to, keep the sedans. Don't give those up to the Germans, Japanese, and Koreans as well. And with all that, go all in with performance. Become what BMW was over 15 years ago. They tried that before and half assed it, but they have the tools to make it happen now. Try to appeal to the audience that BMW and Mercedes left behind and that Genesis and Acura are trying to claim (or reclaim). Good luck Cadillac...you'll need it.
SCE to AUX Introduce a modern V-16 and put it into a Celestiq-like vehicle instead of electric.
DungBeetle62 For where we're at in the product cycle, I think there are bigger changes afoot. With this generation debuting in 2018, and the Avalon gone, is the next ES to be Crown based? That'll be an interesting aesthetic leap.
Philip Precht When Cadillac stopped building luxury cars, with luxury looks, that is when they started their downward spiral. Now, they just look like Chevrolet knock-offs, not much luxury, no luxurious looks. Interiors are just generic. Nothing what they used to look like. Why should someone spend $80,000 on a Cadillac when they can spend a LOT less and get a comparable looking Chevrolet????
