Every new Subaru Legacy model comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to always provide you with the best possible traction, handling, and control in any weather conditions around Stanford, CA or on rugged terrain, giving you more confidence and freedom behind the wheel. The Honda Accord lineup only offers front-wheel drive, which could leave you wanting for more when the weather gets bad or the terrain gets rough.

The Subaru Legacy costs less than the Honda Accord does, with a starting price of around $25,000, compared to the Honda Accord which starts at around $28,000. This means that you could purchase a Base trim level Legacy model and save, or upgrade to a nicer trim level for a similar price to the Base Accord model.

The Subaru Legacy has a stronger available performance than the Honda Accord models do. Both vehicles have multiple engine options, but the Legacy provides you with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 260-horsepower and 277 pounds-feet of torque. The Honda Accord models have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor that produces 204-horsepower and 247 pounds-feet of torque.

All the new Subaru Legacy models have standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a legendary system that sends power to all four wheels and will automatically divert it to the wheels with the most grip if any of them start to slip, giving you the utmost capability as you travel around the Bay Area. The Kia K5 models have a standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available on higher trim levels for a higher price.

The new Subaru Legacy lineup is slightly more affordable than the Kia K5, but with standard all-wheel drive in every model, the value outweighs the K5.

The Legacy lineup provides you and your passengers with more space than the Kia K5 does, with 4-inches more rear legroom than you'll get in the Kia K5, letting your family and friends stretch out and enjoy the ride to Palo Alto.
