But which one is best for you? To find out, check out our 2016 Subaru Legacy vs. 2016 Honda Accord vehicle comparison below!

2016 Legacy vs. 2016 Accord Engine Options

The 2016 Legacy comes standard with a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine and an available 256-horsepower 3.6-liter six-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine. Both options deliver a balance of power and efficiency thanks to an innovative design that has the pistons fire horizontally.

In addition to the impressive horsepower, the base engine gets an EPA-estimated 36 highway mpg, and the available choice gets an EPA-estimated 29 highway mpg.

With the 2016 Honda Accord, you can get a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Both deliver decent performance, but they're not designed the same way as the SUBARU BOXER® engines so you won't get a well-balanced drive. Instead, they focus more on power, with 185 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 34 highway mpg for the standard option and 278 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 28 highway mpg for the V6.

Performance Enhancements

Both the Subaru Legacy and the Honda Accord are impressively capable. Drivers of the Legacy will enjoy standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for control and stability when traveling on rough roads and in slick winter weather conditions. In addition, this sedan comes with the Lineartronic® continuously variable transmission for smooth shifts and optimized fuel economy.

The Honda Accord also comes with a continuously variable transmission for a seamless and practical performance. Eco Assist™ is available as well to boost fuel economy. Unfortunately, the 2016 Accord doesn't offer an all-wheel drive system, so getting through adverse road conditions may be tougher in this sedan.

Interior Features

Inside the 2016 Subaru Legacy, you'll have access to a wide array of technologies, including the new SUBARU STARLINK™ system. When activated, this feature provides navigational directions, music from SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and Bluetooth® connectivity. On top of that, this year's model offers a selection of new security packages for the system so you can contact emergency services, get monthly vehicle health reports, and access remote services for your car via the STARLINK™ mobile app. Other interior features for the 2016 Legacy include heated front seats and a dual-zone climate control system.

Like the Subaru Legacy, the Honda Accord features an innovative infotainment system that caters to your preferred entertainment and convenience, heated front seats, and a dual-zone climate control system. What this sedan doesn't offer is a selection of security options.

Safety Technologies

For years, the Legacy has delivered dependable safety, and the 2016 model upholds the tradition with an advanced system of airbags, a collapsible steering column, and a ring-shaped reinforcement frame for your protection.

This year, you'll also have the EyeSight® suite of driver assist technologies to ensure your peace of mind. It provides Lane Departure Warning, Pre-Collision Warning and Braking, and Pre-Collision Throttle Management to help prevent accidents and reduce the risk of injury.

 The Honda Accord also offers a suite of driver assist technologies to ensure your protection and peace of mind. However, its system lacks a Pre-Collision Throttle Management System to help prevent frontal collisions.
