What's the Difference Between the Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy?
On the surface, the 2020 Subaru Impreza Sedan and 2020 Subaru Legacy are both stylish All-Wheel Drive sedans from Subaru. There are quite a few differences that set them apart though.
For starters, the Impreza does offer both sedan and 5-Door bodystyles, while the Legacy is stricly a sedan. The Impreza Sedan is smaller (8.5 inches shorter in length and 2.4 inches shorter in width) and is classified as a compact sedan, while the Legacy is considered a mid-size sedan. As a result, the Impreza Sedan has a lower MSRP* and better fuel economy**. The Legacy on the otherhand has more power, cargo space, rear legroom, and more standard features like Subaru EyeSight®.
If you are looking for a practical entry-level compact sedan with All-Wheel Drive, we suggest checking out the Subaru Impreza Sedan. If you want a sedan with a little more space and creature comforts for cruising around Cockeysville, the Subaru Legacy is just what you need.
