The 2.5i trim will cost $36,870, the 3.6R trim will fetch $39,070. It comes with a dark gray grille and machined finished 18-in. wheels with dark gray accents. It also comes with low-profile silver finished roof rails along with lower cladding and chrome Outback badging to set it apart on the outside. A new Brilliant Brown is added as an exterior color option.

Inside, all Touring models will feature new Java Brown perforated leather-trimmed upholstery, door panels, and armrests with contrasting ivory stitching. It also gets an exclusive woodgrain interior finish with piano-black switch panel accents. A heated steering wheel comes standard on the new Outback Touring. It also debuts Subaru’s auto reverse braking safety feature.

Legacy 2.5i Sport

The new 2017 Subaru Legacy Sport 2.5i is a new model with a few exterior and interior styling upgrades. The Legacy 2.5i Sport trim will cost consumers $26,815. Outside, it features a dark gray grille, fog lights with gloss black housings, and newly designed 18-in. sport-styled wheels.
