CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Subaru Legacy

Summary
With 567 currently listed for sale and an average price of $20,625, 31.7% of 2022 Subaru Legacies for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Subaru Legacy 4.8 / 5 stars.
81.0% of 2022 Legacy models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Subaru Legacy stands out because it combines the Legacy’s long-running standard all-wheel drive with a more modern, well-equipped midsize-sedan formula. In this generation, Subaru made the EyeSight safety suite standard, added the 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system, and gave the car a quieter, more spacious cabin with a stiffer chassis and better ride quality. It also kept the turbocharged 2.4-liter engine in the lineup, while the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder was reworked for better fuel economy and 182 hp.
For buyers, the appeal is a sedan that feels unusually secure and feature-rich for the class. Standard equipment included active torque vectoring, adaptive cruise control, auto vehicle hold, automatic climate control, LED headlights with automatic high beams, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Subaru’s Symmetrical all-wheel drive. The Premium trim added an 11.6-inch infotainment screen, 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Higher trims could add features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, heated rear seats, navigation, a power moonroof, ventilated front seats, and Nappa leather upholstery.
The tradeoff is that the Legacy’s strengths are more about comfort, safety, and traction than excitement. The available owner feedback also points to strong AWD performance and impressive fuel economy, but some drivers feel it is less powerful than they expected for a sporty drive.

We bought the Legacy base model and for me its the best bang for your buck in a mid size car. 2 display screens with apple/ android auto, eye sight technology, headlights that turn with the car, the best awd system in the business, room for 5 and a vacation size trunk. Our first 2500 miles was a trip from Chicago to North Carolina through the Smokey Mountains. We averaged 31.8 mpg. A very nice car for the money

Owners consistently praise its features, strong AWD performance, and impressive fuel economy, while noting that it is less powerful than expected for a sporty drive. That makes it a good fit if you want a midsize sedan that emphasizes comfort, traction, and everyday usability over excitement. With 33.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.
Is the 2022 Subaru Legacy reliable?
Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback highlights a dependable-feeling package with strong AWD performance and a generally trouble-free ownership experience. The combination of standard all-wheel drive and strong fuel economy also supports the sense that this is a car you can count on for daily use. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is finding a well-kept example, so condition and maintenance history matter.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru Legacy?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still check the history report carefully and confirm there are no hidden accident or title issues. Put inspection priority on overall condition, especially signs of wear that could affect comfort, electronics, or drivability. Focus on how the car presents in person, because a clean-looking listing is only part of the story.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru Legacy?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 563 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.18% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 80.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,636, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 Subaru Legacy's resale value?
The current average of $20,636 sits slightly below last year's $22,721.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and how well the car is equipped. Well-kept examples should hold up better than average because shoppers still respond to the Legacy’s practical strengths.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2022 Subaru Legacy or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.18% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $19,570, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $20,636 average.
- It offers standard AWD and practical everyday value.
The bottom line: Choose the 2022 if you want the stronger current-market mix of satisfaction, inventory, and pricing momentum. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2021 is the better value play, especially if you find one in clean condition with the features you want.
