Which Subaru Legacy has heated seats?

In the current Subaru Legacy lineup, heated front seats are widely available, typically standard on Premium trims and higher. The base model may require an optional All-Weather package to add heated seats. This feature is most commonly found on mid-to-top trims rather than the entry-level base.


Heated seats are a common comfort feature in recent Legacy models, but exact availability can vary by model year and region. This article explains which Legacy trims commonly include heated seats and how to confirm the feature for a specific vehicle before you buy.


Trim-by-trim overview of heated seats in recent Legacies


Before listing the trims, note that heated front seats are standard on most mid-to-high trims and may be optional on the base model through package options. The following breakdown reflects recent model years and typical configurations.



  • Base: Heated front seats are not standard; they can be added via an All-Weather Package in some years/markets.

  • Premium: Heated front seats are typically standard, with the All-Weather Package as a common option for additional comfort features.

  • Sport: Heated front seats are usually standard, often paired with other comfort and convenience features.

  • Limited: Heated front seats are standard, along with upscale interior appointments and additional tech.

  • Touring: Heated front seats are standard, occupying the top-tier position in the lineup.


In practical terms, if heated front seats are important to you, aim for Premium or higher, or check whether the base model you’re considering includes the All-Weather Package or similar add-ons. Always verify the exact feature set on the window sticker or with the dealer for the specific model year.


Rear-seat heating and other notes


Heated rear seats are not a common feature across most Legacy trims. Front-seat heaters are the standard focus for this model. Some regional or special-edition packages in certain years may include additional comfort features, but they are not consistently available across all markets or model years.


Summary


For most buyers, heated front seats are reliably available on Premium and higher trims, with the base model typically needing an All-Weather package to add them. Always confirm the exact configuration for the specific model year and market, as features can change between releases. If heated seats are a priority, plan to shop for Premium or higher or verify package contents on the window sticker before purchase.
