2020 Honda Accord vs. 2020 Subaru Legacy in Greenville, NC
If you're searching for a midsize sedan to add to your garage, you've likely come across two iconic competitors: the Honda Accord and the Subaru Legacy. Both Honda and Subaru are known for making vehicles that last for year after year, mile after mile, so it's only natural that you're interested in driving a vehicle made by these two makers. But which sedan is the better choice between the Accord and the Legacy? Let's compare them head-on to see which fares better.
Performance
The standard engine on the 2020 Honda Accord is a 1.5-liter turbocharged unit that offers 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque, while the base engine on the 2020 Subaru Legacy is a 2.5-liter with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, even though the Honda offers a more powerful engine, it also has better fuel economy than the Legacy. So, not only will you get a more exciting drive each time you're behind the wheel, you'll save on gas, too.
Interior Comparison

You'll find nearly identical measurements for headroom and legroom between the two cars, but the Honda Accord offers a 16.7 cubic-feet trunk while the Legacy only manages 15.1 cubic-feet.
As far as trim levels and amenities go, you'll find that the Accord offers more amenities in lower trims than the Legacy. Push-button start and dual-zone climate control are standard in the Accord but reserved for higher trim levels of the Subaru Legacy.
Safety Features
Both the 2020 Accord and the 2020 Legacy come standard with smart safety suites, Honda Sensing® and EyeSight®. The Honda Sensing suite includes:

The Subaru EyeSight suite includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
