Comfort
The Lexus ES 300h offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Subaru Legacy with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
The Subaru Legacy will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus ES 300h.
Convenience
The Subaru Legacy requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Lexus ES 300h, making it more convenient to drive.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus ES 300h will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Subaru Legacy, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
The Lexus ES 300h is a little wider than the Subaru Legacy, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lexus ES 300h, which is slightly longer than the Subaru Legacy.
Handling
The Lexus ES 300h has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Legacy, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Lexus ES 300h is somewhat more powerful than the Subaru Legacy.
Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Lexus ES 300h doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Subaru Legacy.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Lexus ES 300h and the Subaru Legacy.
