Legacy vs Hyundai Sonata

Subaru Legacy vs Hyundai Sonata

How does a confident car like the Legacy measure up against competitors like the Hyundai Sonata? Find out below!

• The Legacy boasts standard all-wheel drive (AWD), which is a rarity in the midsize-sedan segment. This makes for ideal traveling conditions year-round, which is an asset with the variable weather conditions in Trumbull, Branford, Stratford, Wallingford and New Haven. The Sonata doesn't even offer AWD, so you’ll find yourself struggling when the road conditions turn.
• Price is particularly important with family cars, and the Legacy is more affordable than the Sonata, even though it offers more than its Hyundai competition.
• Even with AWD, the Legacy can match the Sonata in fuel economy, as the Subaru sedan outputs 35/27 mpg highway/city to the Hyundai’s 38/28. Sure footedness without sacrifice? Sounds like a recipe for midsize sedan success.
• Did you know that 96 percent of Subaru Legacy sedans sold in the decade are still on the road today? Hyundai can’t match this claim with its sedan lineup.
• The Legacy has earned Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ accolades from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) for the past ten years. The Sonata's safety history is not as impressive as that of the Legacy and, needless to say, it doesn't boast the full IIHS trophy case either.
• Having enough room for you and your passengers to stretch out is important, and the Legacy surpasses the Sonata with more overall passenger space. More rear legroom can make all the difference between an enjoyable and uncomfortable road trip.
