Subaru debuted its new Legacy and Outback models earlier this year. Specifically, the automaker’s all-wheel-drive sedan broke cover at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show in February, followed a couple of months later with the long roof Outback at the New York Auto Show. As 2020 model-year models hit dealerships, we now have pricing for these outdoorsy family machines and it’s surprisingly low. The Legacy starts at $22,745, with the Outback starting at $26,645. For the record, that’s only a $200 bump for the previous-year Legacy, and a $300 increase on the Outback.

What does one get from these entry-level models? Both offer a suite of driver-assist systems including adaptive cruise control with lane-centering functions and a heads-up display. LED lights are also standard-issue equipment, as is a 7-inch touchscreen with a range of features including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Under the hood, both rides share the 2.5-liter boxer four-pot making 182 horsepower (136 kilowatts). Power goes to all four wheels through a CVT that also features an eight-speed manual shift mode, and an auto start-stop system is part of the package as well.

From there, prices can jump significantly. The range-topping Legacy Touring XT starts at $35,895 and is decked out with Nappa leather, a power moonroof, navigation, additional driver-assist systems, and a larger 11.6-inch infotainment screen among other things. Under the hood, the 2.5-liter engine is swapped out for a new 260-hp (194-kW) 2.4-liter turbocharged four cylinder.

Similarly, the Outback Touring XT packs similar upgrades in its spacious interior as well as the turbocharged mill, but you’ll pay $39,695 for the privilege to own one. When you include $1,010 destination and delivery charges for the Outback ($900 for the Legacy), the price jumps beyond $40,000.

The new 2020 Subaru Legacy and Outback are on sale now.
