2023 Subaru Legacy vs. 2022 Toyota Camry
If you’re thinking that family sedans are outdated, think again. The new Subaru Legacy is designed to keep you comfortable during long journeys and it comes with a lot of safety features. At the same time, the new Camry from Toyota is also an impressive release this year. You are spoiled for choice when it comes to family sedans, so keep reading to learn more about these two vehicles and which one should you buy.
Design & Style
The new Legacy has been upgraded to incorporate more storage compartments and leg room for passengers. You will feel comfortable inside this car and the visibility is great all the time. On top of that, the cargo space is also more generous and now you can move around with more luggage and more dogs, if your canine friends like vehicle rides.
At the same time, the Camry is also spacious and comfortable. It can easily transport 4-5 passengers and it has a lot of cargo space too. With that being said, you might find the interior rather dull. You can work around this by upgrading to a leather interior, but this costs more.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to technology, both vehicles offer similar features. The Legacy comes with a 7-inch panel that allows you to adjust the car’s settings or connect your phone. You might be happy to find out that there are multiple smartphone connectivity options such as Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
The Camry also comes with a decent infotainment panel, a great sound system, and multiple smartphone integration options. You can easily find your way around the instrument cluster and everything is within your hand’s reach. However, you might need to pay more for some safety features and driving aids that are standard on the new Legacy.
Performance
A family sedan also has to be fast. The Legacy comes with 182 horsepower extracted from a 2.5-liter engine. You get automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as well, so your vehicle will be more stable around corners. This engine is upgraded from the previous model so it will also provide better fuel efficiency.
The Camry has a 4-cylinder engine that provides enough power and acceleration to help you overtake someone on the highway. However, keep in mind that the top speed is not encouraging. If you’re thinking about taking long drives on the highway, you might want to get the upgraded Camry version which is more expensive but also more powerful.
The Bottom Line
Although both these vehicles look rather similar on paper, it seems that the Legacy has the upper hand in most aspects that matter. Chances are that going for the Subaru is a wise decision and one you’ll not regret over the years.
