The seventh-generation, 2022 Subaru Legacy
is the SUV of sedans.
With the all-weather, all-road capability of
Subaru Symmetrical Full-time All-Wheel Drive,
enhanced safety, performance and refinement,
and the latest in comfort, convenience and infotainment,
the 2022 Legacy is set to change your perception
of what a sedan can be – and can do!
All at a lower starting price than many of
its front-wheel-drive-only competitors!
Available in five distinct trims,
including Limited GT and Premier GT models.
Built on the Subaru Global Platform,
its use of structural adhesives and ultra-high tensile-strength steel
all play a role in the Legacy’s structural rigidity,
responsiveness and driving dynamics,
as well as its outstanding ride quality.
Refinement is the hallmark of the Legacy’s
class-leading interior, where high-grade materials
such as available Nappa leather, complement the contemporary design and layout,
and sound insulation all help create the impression
of a larger more premium class of vehicle.
For improved passenger comfort, the design of
the Legacy’s cabin features improved ergonomics over the previous generation
and more space overall, including more rear legroom and shoulder room.
The standard 60/40-split folding rear seats fold flatter for increased functionality,
while overall cargo volume is optimized for usability and versatility, whatever the payload.
At the centre of it all are standard automatic climate control
and dual 7-inch infotainment displays, or an available 11.6-inch tablet-style screen.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard equipment.
The 2022 Legacy also offers available SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services,
which connects your car to you, and the world around you.
Included on activation of your free 3-year trial subscription are features
such as remote engine start and climate control settings, door locking and unlocking,
and vehicle locator, as well as automatic notifications of conditions you have chosen
– such as a novice driver exceeding a pre-set speed threshold – and much more.
Add in Enhanced Roadside Assistance and Automatic Collision Notification
and Subaru STARLINK Connected Services helps
you experience peace of mind like never before.
Of course, the heart and soul of the new Legacy is
Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical Full-time All-Wheel Drive system,
combined with its direct-injected, 2.5-litre, four-cylinder boxer engine.
It’s that combination — and the low centre of gravity,
and thus enhanced handling they provide
— that continues to make the Legacy so much more
capable and adventurous than its sedan competitors.
It’s no wonder that 95.5% of Legacy vehicles sold in Canada
over the last 10 years are still on the road today.
All 2022 Legacy models feature a standard Lineartronic CVT transmission,
with 8-speed manual paddle-shift capability.
Available on GT models is a turbocharged, 2.4-litre, high-performance variant of
the Subaru boxer 4-cylinder, which outputs 260-horsepower
and 277 pound-foot of torque, delivered over a broad power band.
These drivetrains give the Legacy the superior performance of
a full-time All-Wheel Drive vehicle with the fuel-efficiency of a front-wheel drive vehicle.
As with its predecessors, which have been IIHS Top Safety Picks
for 17 consecutive years, safety is paramount.
And the Legacy takes its established value proposition even further with features
such as standard LED Steering Responsive Headlights,
High Beam Assist, Auto Start Stop,
Auto Vehicle Hold, Automatic Climate Control
and available wireless phone charger.
The latest generation of Subaru’s award winning EyeSight Driver Assist technology
with Lane Centring Assist and Assist Monitor,
is standard on all versions of the new Legacy,
acting like a second pair of eyes watching out for you,
warning and even aiding your ability to avoid potential danger.
Plus, there’s the available Subaru DriverFocus distraction mitigation system
to alert you when it senses signs of distraction or fatigue.
The 2022 Legacy sedan retains the qualities of past models
including superior driving dynamics, exceptional value and class-leading safety.
However, it is the best and most capable Legacy ever
with its standard Symmetrical Full-time All-Wheel Drive,
a wider and larger trunk and
even built-in mounting brackets for roof racks,
it really ups the ante to play with it’s SUV siblings.
The 2022 Subaru Legacy will surprise you.
It really is the SUV of Sedans.
