See How the Stylish 2017 Subaru Legacy Compares to the Audi A6 With Details From Mike Shaw Subaru

Midsize sedans may seem like a dime-a-dozen, but there are some wonderful gems out there such as the Subaru Legacy. At Mike Shaw Subaru, we're excited about the 2017 Legacy and we want you to be as well. That's why we're going straight to the top and comparing it with the Audi A6, a very well-respected sedan. Take a look and see just how well the Legacy compares against the A6 and then visit us in Thornton to experience the Legacy from behind the wheel.

2017 Subaru Legacy vs. Audi A6: Design Comparison

There's not a lot of difference between the 2017 Subaru Legacy and the Audi A6 at first glance, both are stately, aerodynamic and designed to seat 5. Since the A6 is classified as a luxury sedan, it does come with more standard features at the base trim level than the Legacy. When you take into account, though, that the A6 costs more than double what the Legacy does, the value of choosing Subaru certainly shines. A fully-loaded top-of-the-line Legacy Limited still costs less than the entry level A6 and, at every trim level, the Legacy offers greater front head room, front leg room, front shoulder room, rear shoulder room, rear leg room and cargo capacity than the A6.

2017 Subaru Legacy vs. Audi A6: Performance Facts

Both the 2017 Subaru Legacy and the Audi A6 offer two different engines, one 4-cylinder and the other 6-cylinder, paired with an automatic transmission. Fuel economy is comparable when comparing like trim levels but when you consider that Subaru recommends regular unleaded and Audi recommends premium unleaded to achieve it, the Legacy is the better value. In addition, every trim level of the 2017 Legacy comes with all-wheel drive, a feature that's just an option in the A6. Subaru also backs the powertrain of the Legacy for longer than Audi warrantees the powertrain of the A6 to the tune of one more year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.

2017 Subaru Legacy vs. Audi A6: Safety Information

Both the 2017 Subaru Legacy and the 2017 Audi A6 offer similar standard safety features including antilock brakes, traction control, a rearview camera, stability control and antilock brakes. Emergency telematics and driver assistance technology is available in both sedans as well. In NHTSA crash tests, both sedans earned a 5 star overall rating and the IIHS named both the Legacy and the A6 as Top Safety Picks. As previously mentioned, every Legacy comes with all-wheel drive for added stability. Since AWD is only an option in the A6 and the A6 costs far more than the Legacy, it's clear what makes the Subaru the better value.
