With enough customer demand to warrant an all-new, seventh generation Legacy, Subaru's helping to slowly save the sedans.
The big takeaway - their award-winning Eye-Sight safety system is now standard on all 2020 Legacy trims. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
You can really hear the boxer engine. I like that
The Subaru Logo on the mirror lights up when you approach with the key fob, and is juuuuuust bright enough to shine a light on the door handle. A subtle thing, but appreciated at night.
*edit* The "gaping hole" in the center console is perfectly shaped to hold a phone. I set it there when using Android Auto.
Also that same light it illuminates the curb when you backup by turning the mirrors down automatically
Excellent review and the title explains it , thanks for sharing
Thanks!!!
Hate glossy piano black. Don't know why so many auto makers use it. A nice brushed metal look would be so much better looking and easier to keep clean. Oh, and I will never use the heated steering wheel or heated seats - live in California. I will absolutely use the ventilated seats in my new Touring XT (US market name for the GT trim)! I purposely shopped for a sedan. I'm one of the few drivers who doesn't want an SUV or pickup. One of the benefits during this time of chip shortages and limited inventories is that dealers will still "deal" on sedans since they aren't as popular.
We got a 2020 Legacy exactly 1 year ago today. We liked the safety ratings, conservative styling, and big touchscreen. We got 212,000 miles out of our old Hyundai Sonata so we will see how this car does.
Awesome review! The way it should be done. Thank you.
Nice review!
Nice review. I just purchased a slightly used legacy premium that just came out of its lease. Old lady who only put 6000 miles on it had it. The premium I have is pretty well optioned though, the only things it seems to be missing from the limited is the leather seats, led fog lights (does have halogen), rear break assist, heated steering wheel, seat presets, power passenger seats, rear heated seats and the Harmon karden audio system. Honestly, the only thing I wish it had is the upgraded audio. As for the auto start/stop feature it does turn on by its self every time you start the car but you don’t have to dig in the menu to turn it off. I’m not sure if that was an update or it exists in this review but there is a button near the heated driver side seat button on the Home Screen where you can quickly turn it off if it bothers you
Though I'm a sucker for new tech, I opted for a 2020 Forester Sport. On my test drive with a 2020 Legacy, I was fumbling too much with the 11" touchscreen controls.
Nice review. Picking up my 2022 Legacy Limited next week.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Another irk, the USB ports are extremely difficult to access given that narrow opening with no cover. It’s true, at least in USA, start/stop resets to on when car is restarted. I hate start/stop, but would hate it less if the switch was on the main screen.
A free dealer-installed software update will put it on the main screen
So you just need to press one time and the auto start/stop function will be cancelled forever until you turn it on??
No you have to do it each time you start the car
Great review. Just picked up a 2020 legacy and I had to turn off eye sight a few times. It gets confused during heavy snow. Hit the brakes when I had a snow chunk fly up in front of the car.
Congrats on the new ride!
@@Modern.Motoring Thanks!
@@tbublavy did you purchase the 2.5 or XT
I'm going to purchase another new Subaru for my daughter. She wants a sedan. We own a,2018 Impreza 5 door. We would get another Impreza, but we are not happy with the 2.0. So, we are considering a legacy. The base is fine, but she would like an upgrade sound system and a wheel package. We will see.BUT, it WILL be a subaru.
Is the whole sunroof manual or is there some automatic features when opening it?

Auto Start/Stop reverts to default on, and Auto Vehicle Hold reverts to default off every time you restart, on my 2020 Legacy GT. It's annoying. Great car though.
Can you at least disable auto start/stop using a voice command instead of going through the touchscreen menus? Also, are you noticing any oil consumption issues so far?
A software update moved it to the main screen at least so you don't have to go through several menus to get to it. If it has to default to "on" at least its not a pain now to switch it off.
Put Harmon Karden in all trim levels. At least make it available.Naybe put it in a package. It would be nice to have a package for it and a wheel package in a base model.
That’s interesting about the start stop. I have heard from a lot of reviewers that u have to deactivate the stop start stop feature every time you start up the car. Hope you are right because that would be a huge Irk for me in purchasing the Legacy.
did you ever find out if it renables every time the car starts?
bud yes I did. And it does unfortunately. You have to go into the menu and disable it every time you restart the car. 🙁
James Smith ah. I blame the government
bud A yup. We’ve got to hold someone responsible. 😁
James Smith these are the kinds of pressing issues I wish our presidential debates would address
You're in Canada why didn't you wait till snow so we could see how well awd works?
I only get the car for one week at a time and not all vehicles are available year round on the press fleet.
hey quick question for you. How do you get all these cars? Do you get them from the manufacturer's and if so, how?
Hi Umer, I've been an automotive journalist/video creator for six years and receive vehicles from each of the manufacturers.
Having a reputable outlet plus knowledge of the auto industry enabled me to be fortunate to receive weekly media cars since 2013.

Thanks for the prompt reply, really appreciate it.
What advise would you have for someone looking to do the same thing.
Whats the best way to contact a manufacturer in regards to this and how do you go about it? Do you call the manufacturer customer support number?
I myself am in the auto industry and looking to leverage that to start getting cars for product knowledge ( maybe reviews etc).
@@umerhakim It all comes down to blending desirable, relevant and well-presented information to a captive audience.
The first question you'll get from any PR rep in any industry will be about your audience/reach/engagement.
When I started, I worked for a large print magazine, so that helped in getting my wheels in motion.
Since then, I've created my own media company, have a monetized TH-cam channel, print magazine and strong digital presence.
If you'd like to chat further, flip me a note at Jay@modernmississauga.com and I'll help however I can.
@@Modern.Motoring hey jay appreciate the insight

They need to sell this with a stick. For the company that sells the STI, they must know some of us STI owners would like a larger more family orientated alternate in our garage BUT would still like the joy of driving a stick...
Every time I see somebody say "this car should have a manual" I wonder where all those people are who bought one in the last gen. Subaru isn't going to purposefully lose money on a feature not many people want. If it made business sense to put a manual option in this car, they would. If it doesn't, they won't. That's the end of the decision making process.
@@zjones9876 The last 3 subaru's I've BOUGHT, have all had manuals....
@@bikebudha01 I'm not saying people don't buy them. I'm saying not enough people buy them. And a lot more people say "They should make this in a manual" than actually buy one.
I like this car. What about price of details?
Hi Traktor,
Here's the pricing/specs for the Canadian model I reviewed:

A Accord goes to the gum and get some muscles, that’s what everyone try to describe.
My dream!
Stop looking and dreaming and buy
@@Tom-ld9hp l live in a country where 70% of the population cannot offord such a car.

Within 2 min. into your video I knew you did not like the Legacy with your sighs and petty dislikes . Critiquing the trunk LEGACY badge, Wow that was something to think about.
I have watched many of these review videos and many of you guys think the world holds your opinions as the best in the world.
Appreciate the feedback, Mike. Thank you for the time spent watching and commenting.
@@Modern.Motoring You are Welcome.
