2019 Subaru WRX vs. 2019 Acura TLX
The 2019 Subaru WRX has always been known for the athletic exterior it displays which a high percentage of enthusiasts find attractive. It also offers a great control even with super performance engines, specifically for the STI trim. Its tech features are within the standard package on top of the safety aids it includes.
The 2019 Acura TLX is a luxury mid-sized car but its interior unfortunately does not showcase materials of a luxurious nature. Its rear seating also proposes an issue even with 3 mid-sized adults who might feel a little uneasy riding altogether. It is also not a performance-packed machine.
Design & Style
The 2019 Subaru WRX is able to ferry up to 5 people in comfort at one go while enabling the driver to gain full visibility without much issues. Its rear seating is well-padded and it gets comfortable even for tall passengers with its gracious legroom. Its interior design is well-furnished with an elegant showcase of high-quality supplies and its trunk can accommodate up to at least 12 cubic feet of items which is up to 9 grocery bags as an example.
The 2019 Acura TLX can seat up to 5 people with the front seats being more spacious than the rear. The back row has limited leg room and narrow seats which make even average-sized adults uncomfortable. This is before considering taller passengers who would be straining their neck in need of more headroom in the back. Its cargo space is fortunately much bigger but that comes underneath the floor bed which can hold several grocery bags.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 Subaru WRX offers the standard accessory package which comes equipped with the standard StarLink infotainment system on a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, audio system, 2 USB ports, Bluetooth, and Apple/Android platform compatibility. For safety, it features a rearview camera, cruise control, pre-collision brakes, forward collision warning, reverse auto brakes, lane departure and keep assists, blind spot monitoring, and rear traffic alert.
The 2019 Acura TLX has tech features such as a 2-screen infotainment system, navigation, Android/Apple platform, climate control, and satellite radio. Safety features are also included which comprise of several standard driver assists like forward collision warning, lane and road departure warning, automatic emergency brakes, cruise control, and automatic high beams.
Performance
The 2019 Subaru WRX can generate up to 268 horsepower under its base engine which is already relatively high when compared against other higher performance options that this model offers within the STI trim that generates 310 horsepower and able to produce a great amount of torque.
The 2019 Acura TLX runs on its standard 2.4L 4-cylinder engine which generates 206 horsepower under an 8-speed automatic transmission with a dual-clutch. It also boasts an impressive fuel efficiency that rates 23 mpg and 33 mpg on cities and highways respectively.
The Bottom Line
It is pretty clear between these 2 models that the WRX wins the deal. It generates a higher horsepower and its interior is as spacious as it is comfortable. The TLX would take a toll on its passengers’ overall comfort and there isn’t much trunk space to go around running errands.
