Used Subaru Legacy for sale

The Legacy is equipped with a full stability control system which can help when travelling over slippery or damp surfaces. You’ll also find a full range of airbags equipped throughout the cabin and a seatbelt reminder comes as standard, too. When Euro NCAP crash-tested the Legacy in 2009 it was awarded a five-star rating.

Two petrol engines are available with the Legacy - a 2.0-litre and a 2.5-litre version. All get four-wheel-drive as standard and there’s the option of either manual or automatic gearboxes, too. A 2.0-litre diesel was also available on estate versions.

All versions of the Legacy come well equipped as standard, bringing features such as cruise control, electric windows and electric mirrors. Handy features such as headlight washers are also included on all models, too. ‘S’ specification cars gained an electric sunroof and heated seats, while ‘SE’ models add in highlights such as leather upholstery.

You can expect to see around 47mpg from diesel-powered Legacy cars, while 2.5-litre petrol versions should return around 33mpg. Expect to see these economy figures drop on automatic gearbox versions.
