Subaru mostly keeps prices the same on 2025 Outback, Legacy

No news is hardly breaking news but Subaru keeping prices the same on the 2025 Outback crossover wagon and 2025 Legacy sedan as on the 2024 models is unusual enough to qualify as news. But there’s a but: the destination fee increased $100 from 2024 to 2025, Subaru disclosed Thursday.

The 2025 Subaru Outback costs $30,290, including a $1,395 destination fee. Yup, last year’s mandatory fee was $1,295. Even though the models carry over unchanged, and remain largely the same from the 2023 refresh, nearly every other model from other automakers carries a price increase for the 2024 or 2025 model year, with the exception of electric vehicles.

This week, Ford, following Tesla’s lead, announced price cuts on the F-150 Lightning and Ford Mustang Mach-E to better balance supply with demand. At the same time, Kia announced pricing on the refreshed K5 midsize sedan, with prices rising $1,600 to $5,230. The static price on the 2025 Subaru Legacy makes it that much more of a value. 

The Outback and Legacy share a platform, share a production line in Lafayette, Ind., and use the same 2.5-liter flat-4 that makes 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque or an optional 260-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-4 that churns out 277 lb-ft. Either engine pairs with a CVT with stepped ratios that simulate an 8-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is standard.

2025 Subaru Legacy price and features

Subaru sells the 2025 Legacy midsize sedan in five trims, Base, Premium, Limited, Sport, and Touring XT. All-wheel drive is standard, as is automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, adaptive LED headlights, and active lane control. 

The base model costs $26,040, including a $1,145 destination fee. Not only is it the cheapest midsize sedan, it’s the only one with standard all-wheel drive, which is typically about a $1,600 upcharge on the few sedans that offer all-wheel drive, such as the Toyota Camry, Kia K5, and Hyundai Sonata, which was redesigned in 2024 to offer AWD for the first time. 

The base Legacy comes with cloth seats, 17-inch wheels, two 7.0-inch touchscreens for infotainment and climate controls, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. 

The $28,340 Legacy Premium adds heated front seats, power side mirrors, a power driver’s seat, an a vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen found throughout the rest of the lineup. There are two options packages available. 

The Legacy Limited takes a big jump to $35,150, and adds more creature comforts with power lumbar support and power front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, Harman Kardon sound, a sunroof, blind-spot monitors, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels.  

The $35,640 Legacy Sport costs about the same as the Limited but it has the features of the Premium. The difference is it gets Subaru’s more powerful 260-hp 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four engine, a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, two-tone cloth upholstery with red stitching, and aluminum alloy pedal covers. 

The Touring XT tops the Legacy lineup at $39,340. It combines the turbo-4 with the content of the Limited, and adds a surround-view camera system, nappa leather, and cooled front seats.  

2025 Subaru Outback price and features

Subaru sells the Outback crossover SUV in seven trims, Base, Premium, Onyx, Wilderness, Limited, and Touring, and with the same two powertrain choices as the Legacy. The XT (available on Onyx, Limited, Touring) and Ouback Wilderness grades use a 2.4-liter turbo-4 that makes 260 hp and 277 lb-ft.

Subaru equips every 2024 Outback with an array of driver-assist tech, including automatic emergency braking, active lane control, adaptive headlights with automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitors are an add-on on most grades.  

Standard features on the $30,290 base Outback include cloth upholstery, LED headlights, 17-inch wheels, a satellite radio trial, and twin 7.0-inch touchscreens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity up top and climate controls down low. 

The $32,590 Premium swaps out the clunky twin-screen setup for an 11.6-inch touchscreen oriented vertically, and with wireless smartphone connectivity. It has two USB-A and two USB-C ports, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and 60/40-split folding rear seats. For $1,400 more, the Outback Premium gets keyless start, blind-spot monitors, and a hands-free power tailgate. A second options package adds native navigation and a sunroof for a total of $35,585. 

The $37,855 Limited grade follows the features of the Legacy Limited listed above, but it can be had as a Limited XT with the turbocharged flat-4 for $2,340. 

That XT engine upgrade is $3,255 on the blacked-out Onyx edition, which otherwise costs $37,500 for the base engine. The Outback Onyx and its 18-inch black alloy wheels comes with a heated steering wheel, sunroof, Harman Kardon sound, rear automatic braking, and the optional package of the Premium grade as standard. It dons black 18-inch alloy wheels and a two-tone interior with a water-repellent synthetic upholstery. The Onyx XT also comes with a power front passenger seat, a front camera, heated rear outboard seats, and a full-size spare. 

The Outback Touring costs $41,740, and has all the features listed in the Legacy Touring. The XT engine upgrade costs $2,450 here. 

The more off-road capable Wilderness builds off the Onyx XT with the 2.4-liter turbo and a price of $41,355. Like XT models and their two additional drive mode settings for Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud, the Wilderness applies those lower-speed high-torque settings across a broader range. The Wilderness also increases ground clearance from 8.7 inches to 9.5 inches, has shocks with more suspension travel, and comes with Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tires. 

Built in Indiana, the 2025 Outback and Legacy go on sale this spring.
