2019 Subaru Outback vs. 2019 Kia Soul
Looking cool on the outside, the 2019 Subaru Outback definitely changes your whole perspective of a crossover SUV. It presents a lot of changes, the most notable of which is the inclusion of the Eyesight safety suite. You will love the generous space inside the cabin for this ride.
Looking a bit sportier than usual, the 2019 Kia Soul presents a new standard that includes the rearview camera, 5-inch touchscreen, and voice recognition. It has a spacious cabin as well.
Design & Style
Sporty to look at, the 2019 Subaru Outback seems to be creating a frenzy for including modern elements for an added touch of elegance. As promised, it has plenty of space in the cabin, and that includes a lot of cargo room as well. You can also take a look at the high quality materials that were chosen to construct its interior.
When compared to the Outback, the 2019 Kia Soul can only seat up to four adults with its supposed generous amount of space in the cabin. It has a nice cabin, one of the best in its class but not better than its Subaru counterpart. It offers plenty of cargo space too. The exterior is somewhat outdated for this car, though.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 Subaru Outback also has an intuitive infotainment interface, that does not merely rely on its touchscreen display but all buttons that can be used to access different functions. It integrates smartphone support as well as Pandora and iHeart Radio. This means that you can just choose the favorite infotainment system that you want to be in-sync with the car. For your safety, you can count on adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and pre-collision throttle management, among others.
Apart from the five-inch touchscreen, and voice recognition, there is a Bluetooth, USB port, and a six-speaker audio for the 2019 Kia Soul. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available only if you upgrade to a higher trim. For your safety, it only has a rearview camera as part of its standard feature.
Performance
The 2019 Subaru Outback comes in four-cylinder, and six-cylinder engines that maximizes output of 175 horsepower and 256 horsepower, respectively. The different variants for the 2019 Kia Soul, on the other hand, comes in various sizes for the four-cylinder engine, which is capable of producing anywhere from 109 horsepower to 201 horsepower in terms of maximum output.
The Bottom Line
While the 2019 Kia Soul gives buyers more variants to choose from, it cannot be denied that the 2019 Subaru Outback remains more powerful than the Soul. Add to that the fact that the Outback looks more modern and sporty than the Kia. There are also plenty of technologies to love in the Subaru.
