2025 Subaru Legacy vs. 2025 Honda Accord
In the world of sedans, you have an abundance of choices. The 2025 Subaru Legacy and 2025 Honda Accord are both solid options. Let’s dig into the features of both to figure out which one comes out on top.
Available Trims
The Legacy comes in five available configurations, ranging from the economical Base model to the well-equipped Touring XT. The Accord comes in six trims, from the wallet-friendly LX to the top-of-the-line Touring Hybrid model. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer a notch or two above the base trim level, so let’s examine the standard features of the 2025 Subaru Legacy Limited vs. the 2025 Honda Accord SE.
Performance and Fuel Efficiency
The Legacy comes with a lively 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER 4-cylinder engine, delivering 182 hp @ 5,800 rpm and 176 lb-ft torque @ 4,400 rpm. Its symmetrical all-wheel drive with vehicle dynamics control and active torque vectoring and Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with adaptive control and 8-speed manual mode give you responsive performance with intuitive handling and control. With an estimated fuel economy of 27 MPG city / 35 MPG highway, the Legacy is efficient without sacrificing power.
The Accord has a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine under the hood for 192 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 192 lb-ft torque @ 1,700 – 5,000 rpm. For the drivetrain, we have front-wheel drive and continuously variable transmission. With an estimated 29 MPG city / 37 MPG highway, the Accord is a respectable choice when considering fuel efficiency.
Altogether, both the Legacy and Accord are more than serviceable performers in most environments.
Driver Assist and Safety Features
The Subaru Legacy is equipped with an impressive array of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering, pre-collision braking, lane keep assist, automatic emergency steering, and lane departure and sway warning.
The Honda Accord also doesn’t kid around in terms of safety. The Accord comes with a driver assist package that includes forward collision warning, lane departure warning, collision mitigation braking system, adaptive cruise control, and more.
Interior and Infotainment
If you prefer an inviting, tasteful interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the Legacy. Inside you’ll find a heated, 12-way power adjustable driver’s seat with 2-position memory function, leather-trimmed upholstery, transmission paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming rear view compass mirror with HomeLink® and 104 cubic feet of passenger volume. The infotainment system features Harman Kardon® premium audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, SiriusXM® Travel Link®, NFC technology, Bluetooth® audio streaming and hands-free phone and text messaging connectivity, and too many amenities to list here.
We have no major complaints about the Accord’s interior. With a heated 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control and 102.8 cubic feet of passenger volume, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. 8-speaker audio with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, Bluetooth® and more add up to a serviceable infotainment setup.
Conclusion
Subaru is well known for making extremely capable, safe, and reliable vehicles at a reasonable price point. The 2025 Subaru Legacy lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Honda Accord is also a solid pick. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Subaru Legacy pulls out ahead.
