 What's up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Goldpony and today we are in the newly refreshed 2020 Subaru Legacy courtesy of Apple Subaru in York PA once again I am excited for this one brand new tech for 2020 definitely looking more like a Tesla style display on the inside so let's go ahead and jump right into this one and as always let's start with pricing and so there will be several different trim levels for the 2020 legacy first one being the base trim starting at $22,745 premium starting at $24,995 sport which actually is the one we are in today this one is going to start at $26,945 limited starting at $29,745 limited XT starting at $34,195 and lastly the touring XT for $35,895 and so as far as the power plant goes there is actually two different setups for the 2020 legacy as you can imagine with the XT trim levels that is going to be the more powerful engine setup but not the one we have today powering the non XT trim levels will be a 2.5 liter horizontally opposed Subaru boxer engine putting out 182 horsepower at 5,800 rpm 176 pound feet of torque available at 4,400 rpm power is going to be sent to all four wheels of course through Subaru's legendary symmetrical all wheel drive system that power is sent to the ground through a CVT with paddle shifters actually what you know we will be testing out a little bit here but all in all MPG numbers are going to come in at 27 the city 35 on the highway taking 87 octane or regular unleaded fuel helping save a little bit there so before we do that paddle shifter test let me touch on the other engine setup for the XT trim levels that is going to be a 2.4 liter turbocharged and intercooled horizontally opposed to a Subaru boxer engine once again 260 horsepower available at 5,600 rpm 277 pound feet of torque available from the power band of 2,04800 rpm again sent to all four wheels through a CVT on this one giving you MPG numbers coming in at 24 in the city 32 on the highway but once again taking regular unleaded fuel sometimes with the upgraded engine you have to jump up to premium but not with the legacy so that is pretty cool but either way you guys know what we have to do next let me put the shifter all the way to the back and to the left that is going to give me full manual shift mode here with the CVT so it's kind of like yeah we'll see but let's go ahead and test out the paddle shifters and see how quickly they react for us here I don't know what to say about it is a CVT so technically you don't have any gears to shift through but they do kind of react quickly and I suppose it would be useful for some engine braking perhaps in the snow that is kind of what subrues are built for for powering through the snow and those kind of climates but so I would imagine most people probably are not going to use those paddle shifters anyways but another thing I wanted to point out we are stopped at a red light right now the engine did shut off so we'll do that for you helping you save a little bit of MPGs there so that's kind of nice but let's go ahead and try a regular acceleration without the paddle shifters and again we do not have the turbo charge engine setup today but let's go ahead and see how quickly we can get this new 2020 Subaru legacy here up to speed here we go actually not too bad I'm coming off of driving some subcompact so that might have a little bit to do with it but really definitely no issues with merging on to the highway kind of kind of surprised me there with that acceleration and you can imagine the turbo charge engine setup is going to be quite a bit faster but still this naturally aspirated boxer engine here is really not all that bad quite impressed there and so then to go along with that acceleration braking is equally important and so up front you will find 12.4 inch ventilated front discs in the back 11.8 inch rear discs and then my short test drive today most definitely no issues with coming to a stop so that is definitely on point touching on suspension and handling the 2020 legacy actually moves to Subaru's global platform for 2020 therefore it is going to be sharing that same platform with other Subaru's like the Outback like the Ascent and the Forester which not only helps shave a little bit of cost when it comes to producing the legacy helping keeping the price down for this particular vehicle which is always nice but that new platform compared to the old legacy is actually quieter and safer so that is definitely a plus as well but that platform is also going to use 13 percent more high strength steel hence the safer part of what I was just mentioning there in addition to that up front you're going to get a McPherson strut front suspension with the stabilizer bar in the back a double wishbone type rear suspension again with the stabilizer bar when it comes to the ride quality definitely on point with the legacy absolutely no issues that I think I actually said the exact same thing when I just recently test drove the Outback the ride quality is actually very surprising almost luxury like again I haven't read or watched any reviews on this car quite yet because I always like to give my first impressions but essentially what I'm getting at is the ride quality is most definitely on point as far as the steering feel goes it is pretty much as expected so no issues there it's pretty on par for the course cabin noise I guess it's a little bit on the louder side but again it's pretty much as expected for this price point comparatively speaking to the other vehicles in its class so again no issues there and touching on visibility I could see absolutely great out the back window there definitely no issues when it comes to visibility and side mirrors are pretty cool too there's actually a small little Subaru logo in the side mirrors there and I'll get a little bit more into that in a second here so let's go ahead and jump right into the exterior of this new slightly refreshed 2020 Subaru legacy all right you guys here it is the 2020 Subaru legacy as I have mentioned it has been refreshed for 2020 up front you're going to find led headlights actually for every single trim level even the bottom trim level even the base that is amazing well done Subaru for that steering responsive headlights are actually going to come on the limited trim level and up and you are going to find led fog lights for the sport trim level and up that is just below there that's what you're looking at right now overall I love the black accents on the sport trim level they look very at home on this car especially in this red exterior that we have here black housings around the headlights as well all in all the front end ties together very well definitely looks good in my opinion the black accents actually continue around to the side take a look at these side mirrors black finishes are going to come with the base trim level and the sport and the sport black finish is actually a crystal black finish in case you were curious and another thing just like the outback I recently reviewed these chrome windows surrounds I love how they kind of tie in with the side mirrors they kind of just continue out like the side mirrors are sitting on a shard of chrome or something so I absolutely love that design element and of course body colored side mirrors will come standard for all other trim levels but the touring because that touring trim level or touring xt I should say is going to give you a satin chrome finish so that is pretty cool there power adjustable side mirrors will come standard with integrated turret signals on the premium trim level and up in case you were curious but let's now zoom out a little bit I want to show you guys the wheels here 17 by 7 inch steel wheels with covers will come with the base trim level 17 by 7.5 inch aluminum alloys with the premium then you're going to have 18 by 7.5 inch aluminum alloys for all other trim levels design will differ slightly for instance you see these black five spoke wheels coming with the sport trim level again just to continue with the black accents essentially but let's go ahead and make our way to the back you guys are going to see that shark fin antenna up top there also like these black accents on the tail lights got to love that to tie it all together this rear spoiler back here this is the first thing wanted to mention this is the only trim level where you are going to find a rear spoiler that is the sport trim level that we have today so if you want to one go with the sport that's how you're going to get it but refresh tail lights are going to come with the 2020 legacy you guys can see that there also zooming out a little bit a refreshed rear bumper as well and there's going to be some black extra black finishes I should say near the bottom for the sport trim level as far as the exhaust setup goes single exhaust outlet for the non XT trim levels dual exhaust outlets for the XT trims and in case you were curious it is actually under there it is tucked away on the driver's side back there so you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip all right so since we are now around back as far as opening that rear trunk there actually is a button on the key fob so if you like simply press that there also is a rubberized bottom back there as well so the alternative is you could simply just press that but either way once opened up cargo capacity is going to come in at 15.1 cubic feet did want to also point out there are actually some grocery hooks in that cargo area some cargo lighting as well as some in-floor storage and it's kind of compartmentalized as well so there's some tray areas within that in-floor storage I thought that was pretty cool but either way if you didn't need some extra space there is a 60-40 split meaning those rear seats do fold down for quite a bit of extra space if you needed it one of the things I loved about when these rear seats folded down is the back of those rear seats there is a rubberized finish to them so if you had something a little messier like maybe a dog and he didn't want their nails scratching up the back of the seats or maybe you're putting some wheels and tires back there like I often do and he didn't want that road debris scuffing up against your seats loved that the back of those seats are rubberized so that is a very nice touch super well done thinking of that anyways make your way to the rear leg room that's going to come in at 39.5 inches which is actually a good bit for reference I made even six feet tall this is how much space I had back there did want to also mention for those rear passengers they are going to find a rear center armrest with cup holders there's going to be rear air vents back there to keep them comfortable heated rear seats are actually going to come with the limited trim level and up if you wanted to go that route premium trim level and up is going to give you dual USB rear charging ports so helping those rear passengers stay connected that's definitely nice and as far as comfort goes I was just fine back there no issues there now let's make our way to the front seats there is a six way manually adjustable driver seat with the base trim level 10-way power adjustable driver seat with the premium trim level and up and you will find driver and passenger power adjustable seats if you want with the limited trim level and up and overall as far as the finishes go you're going to get a cloth finish if you go with the base premium or sport trim levels and leather finishes if you go with the limited trim level and up heated front seats are going to come with the premium trim level and up and ventilated front seats are going to come with the touring XT so quite a bit of different seat options depended upon the trim level that you go with there but let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping will come leather wrapped for the premium trim level and up and actually heated if you want with the XT trim levels and that is actually available on the non XT limited as well love heated steering wheels especially in Subaru's because Subaru's are known for going off-roading as well as in the snow particularly so heated steering wheel is definitely a plus especially here in Pennsylvania it's 40 some degrees this morning it's crazy but either way let's get to the startup here let me show you guys the key everything is actually all located on one side of the key you have lock unlock and again that button to pop the hatch and by the way the unlock button is the Subaru logo located in the middle of the key there in case you were curious but either way push button start is going to come on the sport trim level and up hallelujah that is what we have today and it's going to be optional on the premium actually so all I am going to do is simply put my foot on the brake and press the engine start button located just by the driver's right knee there and so then once started up tachometer is on your left speedometers on your right those gauges will do a full sweep I'm sure you guys notice that and there is a digital display front and center and there's a couple different things you can scroll through up there including your radio stations there's actually a digital speedometer up there as well of course your trip a trip b what gear you're in it's going to tell you what gear you're in if you're driving on the manual mode with the paddle shifters as well up there but overall a pretty decent gauge setup it would be cool if they offered a digital setup up there in the future but either way it is pretty nice but when it comes to overall interior quality if you're looking for a power moon roof that is going to come standard on the xt trim levels and is actually optional on every single other trim level but the base so even if you wanted with the premium you can get a power moon roof if you wanted it dual zone climate control is going to come with the premium trim level and up but I did want to mention looking around I counted eight cup holders in the 2020 legacy so if you're a thirsty family you're definitely set with the legacy that is pretty cool homelink controls are going to come with the sport trim level and up I noticed that just underneath the rear view mirror that is up to three different garage doors so that's pretty cool as well also like just above the passenger side glove box there there's a nice little cubby area there with a rubberized bottom I always like the rubberized bottoms with cubby areas so that if you go off-road or on a bumpy gravel road or something like that whatever you put there is not going to slide around as much so that's definitely a plus a lot of aluminum trim around the infotainment screen I'm going to get to that in a second of course also on the doors around the air vents and there's actually a lot of soft touch or leather material including above the glove box a ton of it on the doors well done Subaru for that and also plenty of red stitching found above the glove box as well as on the seat so and there's actually a lot of soft touch leather material around the shifter once you get beyond that piano black finish directly around the shifter at least did what I also mentioned an electronic parking brake is going to come standard there's two USB charging ports in front of the shifter as well as an auxiliary port you got some more cubby space directly behind that two cup holders behind the shifter and of course there is a dual compartment center armrest so if you lift up on the left side you're going to find a little tray area and if you lift up on the right side you're going to find that deeper cubby area just below that center armrest so I like that too and also on the ceiling there is a sunglass holder found up there too so overall interior quality is quite nice don't want to forget about the compass found in the rear view mirror as well but now let's make our way to the best part let's face it the tech display has been upgraded for most Subaru's for 2020 and it looks absolutely amazing so when it comes to that tech display dual seven inch color touchscreen displays will come with the base trim level however that base trim level that is the only setup that still has that old style tech display and I say old style it's still actually really good but not as good as the 11.6 inch color touchscreen display that we have today that is actually going to come standard on the premium trim level and up but either way you're going to get bluetooth and audio streaming android auto and apple car play meaning if you have a smartphone simply hook it up to the legacy you have free navigation through that smartphone as well as the ability to like and dislike your pindore songs there's a couple other apps you can check out as well factory navigation system is standard on the xt trim levels is optional on all other trim levels but the base even the premium that's pretty cool and overall this is kind of a tesla style vertical tech display I absolutely love that it is kind of like a tablet or smartphone so if it looks slightly overwhelming at first you do get used to it quite quickly and you'll get used to it even quicker if you've already played around with the tablet or smartphone which I'm sure all of you guys watching this video have but anyways you can also check out your radio settings up there and by the way when it comes to the sound system on the legacy four speakers with the base six speakers with the premium and sport trim levels so therefore that's what we have today limited trim level however is going to give you a 12 speaker harmon card and sound system with 576 watts so you guys know what we have to do next we do again have the six speaker sound system today so let's turn on serious xm here see what we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity this one gotta be honest the clarity was on point I don't know if it's the position of the speakers in the legacy or what but the clarity sounds absolutely amazing for six speakers at least you know the harmon card is going to sound better but for six speakers clarity is on point basis all right it's kind of as expected for a six speaker sound system but the clarity is kind of impressive I gotta be honest but last thing I wanted to mention on that tech display though is when you do put the legacy in reverse you will find a review camera up on that tech display for every single trim level letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety and so to start there are front side and side curtain airbags also a driver's knee airbag up front as well in the back of course you're going to have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats also rear child door locks back there tire pressure monitoring system will come standard high beam assist also standard for every single trim level but perhaps the best part about the safety at least is something called subaru eyesight that is going to give you standard adaptive cruise control this is by the way standard on every single trim level you have adaptive cruise control pre-collision breaking lane departure in sway warning and lane keep assist and then if you went with a limited trim level and up in addition to that you are going to get blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert and reverse automatic braking it's so but anyways that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there if you like
