CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Subaru Legacy

Summary
With 26 currently listed for sale near San Diego, CA and an average price of $21,995, 11.5% 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.
73.1% 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 rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also leans toward reliable, dependable, and trouble-free ownership impressions, especially around everyday use and confidence in the car’s long-term value. That kind of response suggests the Legacy can be a sensible used buy if you want a sedan you can count on. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the basic formula and more about finding one that has been maintained well and not worn hard.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru Legacy?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with the history report so you can confirm accident status, title status, and service patterns before you go any further. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the car’s overall condition, with extra attention to signs of wear that could affect comfort, electronics, or drivability. Because this model is valued for its everyday usability, you want to focus on how well the cabin, controls, and mechanical condition have held up.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru Legacy?
This looks like a moderate market where selective buyers can still find value if they shop carefully.
- Deal availability: 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 561 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.07% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 81.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,662.51, 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 $20,651 sits slightly below last year's $22,963.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the car in good condition, you can help protect your future resale position. Demand should remain supported by the model’s practical appeal and standard all-wheel drive.
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:
- 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.07% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $19,858, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $20,651 average.
- It offers standard AWD and a practical, comfort-focused setup.
The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced shopping target, the 2022 is the stronger primary choice because it combines a lower current market price with solid owner satisfaction and decent deal availability. If your top priority is saving money upfront, the 2021 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one in clean condition and with a good history.
