Subaru just announced that it has started production of the highly anticipated 2020 Outback and Legacy models at the company’s 832-acre plant in Indiana, the company’s sole manufacturing facility outside Asia.
The two models are comparable but serve different purposes for the brand. The Legacy is a family sedan, while the Outback has more cargo space and ride height and is targeted on the more rugged consumers.
But aside from its features and styling, another reason both models are sought after by consumers is the affordable pricing. The Legacy has a starting price of $24,000, while the Outback is offered just slightly under $28,000. These price ranges are cheaper by thousands than the average new-car transaction price.
For consumers, however, who don’t mind going as high as almost $40,000 for the models, Subaru is also offering more premium add-ons. These include leather seats and an 11.6-inch vertical infotainment screen that replaces the standard two-screen setup.
The 2020 Outback and Legacy pack a punch under the hood, too, with their standard 182-horsepower H4, although a 260-horsepower HS is also available.
Entry-level trims of both models also offer a suite of driver-assist systems, which include adaptive cruise control with lane-centering functions and a heads-up display. Also standard issue are LED lights, a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility.
The upgrades are expected to boost sales of the already bestselling Outback for Subaru, as well as the next-generation Legacy.
