2022 Legacy Exterior
In the list of automotive style icons, you'd struggle to find a Subaru. Evocative design is simply not an aspect of the Japanese marque's philosophy that ranks highly. To that end, the Legacy is a completely inoffensive but rather bland sedan to look at. The base version comes with steering-responsive LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels in black with a machine finish, and a single exhaust outlet. Higher up in the range, the Legacy is jazzed up with features such as a power tilt/sliding glass moonroof, LED fog lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and dual stainless steel exhaust outlets. The Sport variant uniquely comes with a trunk spoiler and its own sportily styled grille, but this still does little to truly liven up its design. Even finished in red like our tester, the Legacy would blend into any parking lot.

Exterior Colors
A couple of flashy colors could have gone some way to livening up the Legacy's appearance, but you won't find any such choices for the base version, which is restricted to a rather demure color palette of Abyss Blue Pearl, Crystal Black Silica, Ice Silver Metallic, Magnetite Gray Metallic, and Crystal White Pearl. Moving up to the Premium introduces Crimson Red Pearl and Brilliant Bronze Metallic. The rest of the range retains a largely similar palette, with some colors falling away depending on the trim. None of the shades significantly change the fact that this is a rather dull sedan, but then again, its unpretentious personality will find favor with some.
