The midsize sedan segment remains an intensely competitive one, so more and more people are comparing the 2021 Honda Accord vs. Subaru Legacy in a bid to find the perfect model to fit around their own unique needs and wants. We want to help you make the right decision, so let’s check out how they compare on:

  • Powertrain Options 
  • Dimensions and Comfort
  • Technology

Accord vs. Legacy: Powertrain Options

Standard engine options give a strong indication of how the Honda Accord performs when compared against the Subaru Legacy. You’ll make:

  • Up to 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque with the Accord’s standard 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder.
  • Up to 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque with the Legacy’s standard 2.5L four-cylinder.

The Subaru also falls short by only offering a single transmission – all trims get the same Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). In contrast, Honda lets you choose between:

  • CVT with Sport Mode
  • 10-Speed Automatic Transmission (10AT) with Shift-By-Wire (SBW) and Paddle Shifters

Accord vs. Legacy: Dimensions and Comfort

The Subaru Legacy’s 15.1 cubic foot trunk will feel relatively compact after checking out the Honda Accord’s 16.7 cubic foot trunk. Turn to the passenger compartment and you’ll find several features are similarly in the Accords favor. It’s the only model of two with:

  • Standard Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System
  • Available 12-Way Driver’s Seat with 4-Way Power Lumbar Support

Accord vs. Legacy: Technology

Honda vehicles have a reputation for delivering premium technology across all trims, so it’s no surprise to see that many of the Accord’s most popular and forward-thinking amenities aren’t matched by the Subaru Legacy.

Only the 2021 Honda Accord provides:

  • Standard 8-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment System
  • Standard Speed-Sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC)
  • Available Near Field Communication (NFC)
  • Available Wireless Phone Charger

The Subaru Legacy either misses those features entirely or only makes them available as added options.
