Subaru is rolling out the 2021 Legacy sedan and Outback station wagon, and they add a few standard safety features such as steering-responsive LED headlights. The Legacy starts at $23,820 with the Outback starting at $27,845, prices that are up $175 and $190 over the 2020 models, and they'll arrive in dealers in October.

The 2021 Legacy's $23,820 starting price is for the base model, which is powered by a 182-hp 2.4-liter boxer-four paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive. All Legacy models, which also include the Premium ($26,070), Sport ($28,020), Limited ($30,820), Limited XT ($35,370), and Touring XT ($37,070), have Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist technology as standard, which includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering, and the Limited XT and Touring XT models come equipped with a 260-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter engine.

Among additional standard features on the 2021 Legacy sedan are keyless entry, a dual 7.0-inch touchscreen on the base model, an 11.6-inch screen on the Premium model and up, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Two option packages are available for the Premium model: one, which costs $1000, adds blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert, push-button start, and LED fog lights. The other, which costs $2595, adds a moonroof and TomTom navigation to the first package's list of features.

The Legacy Sport and Limited also get two similar option packages. The Sport offers a $2245 package that adds reverse automated emergency braking on top of the Premium model's options. The Limited adds a heated steering wheel and a driver distraction mitigation system for a total of $2045. The Limited XT gets a Harman/Kardon sound system, and the Touring XT gets a Sierra Tan nappa leather interior.

The 2021 Outback's $27,845 starting price is for the base model, which is also powered by the 2.4-liter engine, although the more powerful turbocharged engine is equipped on the Onyx Edition XT and above.
