The 2017 Subaru Legacy 2.5i is a practical and dependable midsize sedan, ideal for drivers who prioritize safety, comfort, and all-weather confidence. Unlike most rivals in its class, the Legacy comes standard with Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, making it a standout choice for those living in areas with rain, snow, or rougher road conditions.

Power comes from a 2.5L flat-4 BOXER engine, delivering 175 horsepower paired with a CVT automatic transmission. While acceleration is modest, the Legacy is smooth and composed on the road, offering up to 34 mpg on the highway, which is impressive for an AWD sedan.

Inside, the Legacy 2.5i features a clean and functional cabin with seating for five, a 6.2-inch touchscreen with Subaru’s Starlink infotainment system, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and ample trunk space (15.0 cu ft). The interior materials are solid for the class, and passengers benefit from generous legroom, especially in the rear.

Safety is a strong suit, with standard features like stability control, anti-lock brakes, and front/side curtain airbags. Higher trims offer Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist system, but even the base 2.5i scores highly in crash tests.

Overall, the 2017 Legacy 2.5i is a solid, sensible choice for those wanting a comfortable, fuel-efficient sedan with the added confidence of all-wheel drive and Subaru’s reputation for longevity and safety.
