Subaru Legacy
Here you will find monthly and yearly United States and Canadian sales figures for the Subaru Legacy. The Legacy was Subaru’s mid-size sedan and, for more than three decades, the car that carried standard all-wheel drive into a segment where it was almost unheard of. It also spawned the Outback, which eventually outgrew it by a wide margin. Subaru confirmed that the 2025 model year would be the Legacy’s last, with production ending in spring 2025, a decision the company tied to the shift from passenger cars to SUVs and to its move toward electrified models. The charts below therefore cover a nameplate that is now winding down rather than one still in the market.
- Class: Mid-size sedan (final 2025 model year)
- Engines: 2.5L DOHC four-cylinder BOXER, 182 hp and 176 lb-ft; 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder BOXER, 260 hp and 277 lb-ft on Sport and Touring XT
- Transmission: Lineartronic continuously variable transmission with eight-speed paddle control
- Drivetrain: Standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive; XT models add Active Torque Split all-wheel drive
- Trims: Base, Premium, Limited, Sport, Touring XT
- Fuel economy: 30 mpg combined on 2.5L models, 26 mpg combined on Sport and Touring XT
- Chief rivals: Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5
Subaru announced in 2024 that Legacy production would end in spring 2025 at the conclusion of the 2025 model year.
Subaru Legacy Sales in the United States
Subaru Legacy sales in the United States peaked early in this dataset at 87,788 units in 2005 and never returned to that level. Volume fell to 38,725 in 2010, recovered through the middle of the decade to 65,306 in 2016, then declined steadily as buyers moved to the Outback and Crosstrek, bottoming at 19,591 units in 2024. The final full year was better than the one before it: the Legacy delivered 22,212 units in 2025, up about 13 percent, helped by a 2,540-unit March and a run of months above 1,800 through the autumn. With production finished in spring 2025, 2026 is purely a sell-down of remaining inventory. Subaru delivered 2,201 Legacys through July 2026, and the monthly pattern shows the tail clearly, falling from 763 in January to 20 in July.

Subaru Legacy Sales in Canada
The Canadian story ended a year earlier. Legacy sales in Canada peaked at 6,470 units in 2004 and then declined almost without interruption, passing below 3,000 in 2012, below 2,000 in 2018 and below 1,000 in 2021. Subaru Canada delivered 566 units in 2022, 351 in 2023 and 138 in 2024, with most months in single digits by the end. The 2025 figure is a single unit, and the database records no Canadian Legacy sales at all in 2026, which indicates the nameplate was effectively withdrawn from Canada before United States production stopped.
