Subaru America introduced the 2019 Legacy now with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as standard equipment across all trim levels. The updated midsize sedan arrives at Subaru retailers this summer.

Legacy 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Limited and 3.6R Limited trims have a standard auto-dimming rearview compass mirror with Homelink® featuring a thin-frame design.
