2019 Subaru Outback vs. 2020 Volvo V60

The 2019 Subaru Outback is an impressive wagon that comes with a comprehensive driver information display. It has also the EyeSight advanced safety suite which has a complete range of active driver aids included.

The 2019 Volvo V60, on the other hand has the Cross Country trim, but has dropped its T6 engine offer. It has a great looking interior with roomy seats in it.

Design & Style

The sporty 2019 Subaru Outback wagon is a quality car that combines modern elements with its sturdy exterior. Inside, the car has plenty of cargo room and a gracious cabin space to accommodate five adults. The interior uses great quality materials as well.

Seating five people, the 2019 Volvo V60, this car model has embraced all the standards with which all Volvo cars are known for. It has comfortable seats in its spacious cabin. The driver and passenger will enjoy plenty of room, both at the front row and second row. The cabin has been designed to include wood trim pieces too.

Technology & Safety

The 2019 Subaru Outback is surely one of those modern cars that has a reliable infotainment interface. It provides support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, together with an integration for Pandora and iHeartRadio. It works to connect entertainment apps easily. With the EyeSight suite, you get to enjoy driver aids, like pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure and sway warning, pre-collision throttle management, and a whole lot more.

The V60, on the other hand, has Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system. It is great to look at with its 9-inch vertical touch screen that takes up most of the center stack. This interface takes time getting used to, though especially because even simple commands require several steps, plus common controls like climate adjustment are made through the touch screen. Safety wise, it comes with lane keep assist, lane departure warning, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, road departure mitigation, forward automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition,  oncoming collision mitigation, and a rearview camera.

Performance

Packing power for the 2019 Subaru Outback are two engine variations. The first one is the four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine version that can maximize output to reach 175 horsepower. The second one is a six-cylinder, 3.6-liter version that produces 256 horsepower. The 2020 V60 is available in the base T5 setup, which is turbocharged by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2019 Subaru Outback is delightful with its great design elements and its safety and technology features. It also has a remarkable engine performance with its engine variations. This car wins its battle over the V60.
