Fantastic Fuel Efficiency
As one of the premier Subaru dealerships in the area, we've found that one of many things our customers appreciate about the new Legacy compared to its predecessors is its increased fuel efficiency. Its standard powertrain averages 30 mpg combined mileage, which is quite impressive for a sedan its size. The Legacy 2.5i sedan comes standard with 2.5L flat-4 engine boasting 175 horsepower. The Limited trim Legacy 3.6R boasts a larger 3.6L flat-6 that weighs in at 256 hp, offering more power at the expense of just a little bit of fuel economy. Both options come with standard all-wheel drive and continuously variable automatic transmissions.
More Interior Space
Subaru Legacy dealers are quick to point out that it is considered a mid-sized sedan. However, the interior volume actually comes it at just barely under what would be required to bump it up into the “large car” category. Combined passenger and trunk space add up to 119.6 cubic feet (the upper limit for mid-sized classification is 120 cubic feet). This exceptional amount of interior space makes the Legacy's 2017 models even more efficient than their predecessors as family cars. Even the trunk has been upgraded to add that little bit of much-needed extra storage room.
Superior Safety
Subaru is known for producing vehicles that score consistently high on federal and private safety tests. The new Legacy continues in this tradition, having received a five-star rating in every single federal crash-test category. To underscore how impressive this safety rating truly is, keep in mind that an overall five-star rating means it received a perfect score from the U.S. government. It has also earned the IIHS's Top Safety Pick+ award.
The Legacy comes with an entire array of available advanced active safety features dubbed the EyeSight system. This revolutionary safety system uses cameras to intercede on behalf of drivers to prevent accidents. It also facilitates the vehicle's optional adaptive cruise control. The 2016 Legacy had already received substantial safety upgrades, but the 2017 models go even further. They offer available rear automatic emergency braking systems and an advanced lane-keeping system in addition to its recently retuned steering and suspension. Interestingly, Subaru might also be the only car company that tests pet safety devices. They have proven to be quite effective.
Comfort and Style
It's rare to find a mid-sized sedan that can comfortably seat four to five adults, but the Legacy is up to the challenge. Even the rear seats boast an impressive 38.1 inches of leg room. They are also set up better than the Legacy's closest competitors, with more comfortable cushioning and a less sunken feel than the similar Fusion or Altima.
The new Legacy is a handsome vehicle, although this no-nonsense sedan is much more focused on comfort and safety than on exceptional looks. Still, its sharply raked windshield, sculpted fenders, and eye-catching lower body work make it stand out from the competition.
Those interested in making a slightly more striking impression may want to consider the Sport trim. This option includes bigger wheels and chrome rocker accents in addition to minor interior luxuries, such as a redesigned dash and two-tone cloth upholstery. The differences are primarily aesthetic, though. The Legacy doesn't pretend to be what it's not. As a mid-size sedan, it's exceptional, but it makes no claims to competing with sports cars.
Impressive Handling
Subaru dealerships near McComb Ms are quick to encourage potential buyers to take their newest models out for a test-drive, and with good reason. The Legacy's flat and compact engine design allows a lower center of gravity and improved handling. The vehicle's recently updated power steering setup offers easy tracking and a better feel around corners as well.
High-Tech Infotainment
The 2017 Subaru Legacy near McComb MS marks the debut of Subaru's new infotainment system. Its 6.2-inch touchscreen with swipe and tap controls and internet connectivity is both convenient and impressive. This feature comes standard on all models along with USB and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities.
One of the best parts of the Legacy's new infotainment system is that it is easy to hear. Improvements such as thicker side panels, added noise insulation, liquid-filled engine mounts, and an acoustic windshield provide an astoundingly quiet ride even in city traffic.
Superior Value
