CarGurus Analysis: 2019 Subaru Legacy

Summary
With 53 currently listed for sale near Virginia Beach, VA and an average price of $11,997, 34.0% of 2019 Subaru Legacies for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Subaru Legacy 5 / 5 stars.
96.2% of 2019 Legacy models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Subaru Legacy stands out as a midsize sedan that pairs standard all-wheel drive with a strong emphasis on safety and everyday comfort. In its sixth generation, Subaru’s EyeSight safety suite was more widely available, and the manual transmission was dropped. The 2019 model year also marked the point when EyeSight became standard on all models, bringing adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and lane keep assist. That combination makes the Legacy appealing to buyers who want a sedan with uncommon all-weather traction and a broad set of driver-assist features.
It also offers a practical mix of powertrains and equipment. The 2019 Legacy used revised four- and six-cylinder Boxer engines that were described as more fuel efficient, with the 175-hp 2.5-liter engine rated at 26 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, and the 256-hp 3.6-liter engine rated at 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Standard features included a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth streaming, USB/aux inputs, a backup camera, and 17-inch wheels, while Premium models added a 10-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, an upgraded seven-inch infotainment screen, two USB ports, dual-zone climate control, and faux wood trim. Limited trims added a Harman/Kardon audio system, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and leather upholstery.
For shoppers, the 2019 Legacy’s appeal is straightforward: it delivers standard AWD, a refined ride, and a long list of safety and convenience features without feeling flashy. Its drawbacks are also clear, with dull styling, a cheap-feeling interior, and sluggish performance among the noted cons. That balance makes it a sensible choice for buyers who value capability and equipment more than excitement.

Beautiful car! Drives beautifully, has all the bells and whistles that work intuitively, I just love it. I have owned many many cars over the years, including an Audi, and this is the nicest car Ive had.

I currently own a 2019 Subaru Legacy Limited. The car has seat memory, which is a must for me and my limitations. The car also has a CD player which most of the car companies are no longer putting on their vehicles.

Yes — the 2019 Subaru Legacy earns a user rating of 5/5, which supports its appeal for shoppers who want a midsize sedan with standard all-wheel drive and a strong safety focus. The overview points to a practical, comfort-oriented sedan with a refined ride, broad driver-assist coverage, and everyday usability rather than flash. That makes it a good fit if you value capability, safety, and convenience more than sporty styling or quick acceleration. With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.
Is the 2019 Subaru Legacy reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The overview emphasizes standard all-wheel drive, a safety-first setup, and a practical, comfort-oriented design, all of which support confidence in day-to-day use. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the concept of the car and more about finding one that has been maintained well and not worn down by prior use.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Subaru Legacy?
At 65.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with collision records. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially for signs of uneven wear, poor repairs, or neglected maintenance. Focus on overall condition and documentation, since the best used example will be the one that shows consistent care rather than just a low asking price.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Subaru Legacy?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile opportunities.
- Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 595 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.22% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 65.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $15,962, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Subaru Legacy's resale value?
The current average of $15,962 sits slightly below last year's $17,020.
That softer pricing suggests the model has become more accessible for buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you can help offset some of that market softness when it is time to sell. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2019 Subaru Legacy or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 65.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.22% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $17,775, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $15,962 average.
- It leans into practicality, efficiency, safety, and standard all-wheel drive.
The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2019 is the primary path because it combines a lower average price with strong satisfaction and a healthy deal pool. If you are willing to pay more for a newer model year, the 2020 is the secondary path for buyers who want to spend up for a later version.
