CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Subaru Legacy

Summary
With 28 currently listed for sale near San Diego, CA and an average price of $21,995.00, 17.9% 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.
82.1% of 2022 Legacy models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Subaru Legacy stands out as a midsize sedan that makes all-wheel drive part of the package rather than an upgrade. It also benefits from the seventh generation’s focus on safety and technology, including the standard EyeSight safety suite and the large 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system. Subaru’s standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive remains a defining trait, and the car’s appeal is strengthened by its quieter cabin, better ride quality, and more spacious interior.
For 2022, the Legacy carried over the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which was reworked for better fuel economy and produced 182 hp. The continuously variable transmission was the only transmission choice, and it included a paddle-shift feature for an eight-step manual mode. Standard equipment also included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights with automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, auto vehicle hold, and automatic climate control, giving the car a strong list of everyday conveniences.
The 2022 Subaru Legacy is appealing to buyers who want a comfortable, well-equipped sedan with standard AWD and a strong safety emphasis. Its main drawback is performance, since the available feedback points to sluggishness and a less powerful feel than some drivers expect for a sporty drive. Even so, it remains a practical choice for shoppers who value traction, technology, and a calm driving experience over excitement.

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

The owner feedback also points to a dependable ownership experience, with praise for its strong AWD performance and fuel economy. That combination suggests the Legacy is the kind of sedan many buyers can count on for steady daily use and long-term comfort.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the car’s core appeal and more about finding one that has been maintained well and driven in good condition.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru Legacy?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with the history report, then prioritize a thorough inspection of the body, interior, and mechanical condition. Focus on signs of prior damage, uneven wear, or anything that suggests the car has had a harder life than the listing implies. A clean report is helpful, but a careful in-person check is still the best way to protect yourself.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru Legacy?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 576 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.26% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 82.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,866.79, 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 $20,856 sits slightly below last year's $22,984.
That price movement suggests the model has softened, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the car in good condition, you can reduce the impact of that softer market. The Legacy’s practical appeal and broad buyer interest should still support demand, especially for well-kept examples.
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:
- 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.26% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $20,030, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $20,856 average.
- It offers standard AWD and a practical, comfort-focused package.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2022 if you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction. If your top priority is spending less upfront, the 2021 is the better value play, especially if you find one in clean condition with a solid history.
