As the sun sets on a legacy that has spanned over three decades, the 2025 Subaru Legacy prepares to take its final bow. This iconic sedan, which has been a staple on American roads since its debut in 1989, is set to be discontinued after a remarkable 36-year run.

The Legacy’s journey from a groundbreaking all-weather vehicle to a symbol of automotive evolution reflects the shifting tides in consumer preferences and the industry’s pivot towards electrification.


The Legacy’s inception coincided with a transformative era for Subaru. It was a time when the brand cemented its reputation for reliability and innovation in the competitive U.S. market. Equipped with pioneering features like four-wheel disc brakes and full-time all-wheel drive, the Legacy quickly made its mark, not just on the streets but also in the adrenaline-fueled world of rally racing.

Fast forward to today, and the Legacy’s legacy is as enduring as the vehicles themselves. Despite the emergence of SUVs and crossovers dominating the market, the Legacy has held its own, boasting over 1.3 million sales in the U.S. alone. Assembled with pride at Subaru’s Indiana facility, each model carries with it a story of American craftsmanship and Japanese precision.


But what makes the Subaru Legacy truly awesome is not just its impressive sales figures or its storied past. It’s the memories it has created for countless drivers, the adventures it has facilitated, and the unwavering dependability it has provided through the years. As we bid farewell to this beloved sedan, we celebrate the indelible mark it has left on the automotive landscape and the hearts of its loyal enthusiasts."

Subaru has made it abundantly clear: the Legacy’s cessation is a direct result of the American market’s overwhelming preference for SUVs over sedans. It’s a poignant moment to honor the legacy of the four-door sedan, a stalwart of the automotive world.


The 2025 model-year marks the end of an era for the Subaru Legacy, with the base model holding steady at $24,895—the same price point as its 2024 predecessor. With destination charges currently at $1,120, prospective buyers can anticipate the entry-level 2025 Legacy to be priced around $26,015. This model boasts a 182-horsepower engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and Subaru’s signature all-wheel drive system. For those desiring the pinnacle of the Legacy lineup, the Touring XT stands as the premium choice. Priced at $39,315, including destination and delivery fees, this top-tier trim offers a suite of luxurious interior features and, most notably, a 260-horsepower direct-injection turbo engine. With a total of five distinct Legacy trims available, enthusiasts have the opportunity to tailor their vehicle to their preferences via Subaru’s online configurator—especially now, as the Legacy prepares to take its final bow in the automotive market.
