How Does the New Subaru Legacy Compare to the Toyota Camry Sedan?

When drivers in Barnstable and Plymouth, MA start looking for a new mid-sized car, the Subaru Legacy is often one of the first cars they turn to. With its attractive design, comfortable interior, and value-driven feature collection, it provides an experience that's hard to argue with.

The Legacy isn't the only good mid-sized model out there, however. Other cars like the Toyota Camry also provide solid experience rife with genuine value. If you're choosing between a Subaru Legacy and the Toyota Camry, there's a few things you might want to consider. Let's take a look.

The 2020 Subaru Legacy

A spacious interior, seating for five, dependable performance options, a great feature suite; even in the broadest strokes the Subaru Legacy offers a lot. And that doesn't even touch on its versatility. The Subaru Legacy doesn't just offer all-wheel-drive, it packs it in as a standard feature. Combined with its fair price and everything else it brings to the table, it's not hard to see why the Legacy is a top choice for many Hyannis drivers.

Performance: 2.5-liter flat-4 (182 horsepower, 176 pounds-feet of torque, 27/35 miles per gallon), 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-4 (260 horsepower, 277 pounds-feet of torque, 24/32 miles per gallon)

Feature Options: 7-inch Touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Automatic Climate Control, Remote Keyless Entry, Push-Button Start, Heated Steering Wheel, Adaptive Cruise Control, High-Beam Assist

The 2020 Toyota Camry

A longtime pillar of the mid-sized market, the Toyota Camry lives up to Toyota's well-earned reputation for dependable and valuable cars. Efficient and powerful with a market-leading standard safety suite, there are lots of good reasons to consider a new Camry for your driving needs.

Performance: 2.5-liter inline-4 (203 horsepower, 184 pounds-feet of torque, 29/41 miles per gallon), 3.5-liter V6 (301 horsepower, 267 pounds-feet of torque, 22/33 miles per gallon), 2.5-liter inline-4 electric hybrid (208 horsepower, 51/53 miles per gallon)

Why is the 2020 Subaru Legacy the Right Car for Me?

The Toyota Camry is by no means a bad car. It provides a lot and, performing at its best, can reach higher peaks of performance than the Subaru Legacy. Overall though, the Subaru Legacy is just the better buy. Even if the Camry's more powerful the Legacy's no slouch, and the Camry doesn't offer standard all-wheel-drive like the Legacy does.

More importantly? The Subaru Legacy just offers more value. It starts at a lower price and offers many of the same features for less. And while Toyota's safety package might be good, many critics prefer Subaru's advanced EyeSight technology suite.
