2019 Subaru WRX vs. 2019 Chevrolet Cruze

Updating its infotainment system and adding expanded feature availability for some trim levels, the 2019 Subaru WRX is a compact car with one of the most powerful engines in its class. It also has spacious seats to accommodate five people.

The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze has now discontinued its manual transmission, and made minor revisions in terms of exterior styling. Some features have been revised as well.

Design & Style

A car that boasts of athleticism on the exterior, the 2019 Subaru WRX is definitely a good choice in the world of compact cars. Both its front and rear seats impress in terms of space, offering more room to move around for five people. Its cabin is made from high quality materials too.

Available in sedan and hatchback styles, the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze also looks appealing on the outside. Front seats are well-cushioned plus there is plenty of legroom to move around. Soft cabin materials blend well with others, but hard plastics are not pleasant to look at.

Technology & Safety

The 2019 Subaru WRX is fitted with the standard StarLink infotainment system that has a 6.5-inch touchscreen display. It also has a six-speaker audio, two USB ports, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. It also supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also includes a host of safety features, like a rearview camera, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, reverse automatic braking, pre-collision braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning, among others.

There are plenty of standard technologies in the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze. It has the seven-inch touchscreen for its MyLink infotainment. It also offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, as well as Wi-Fi hotspot, two USB ports, and Bluetooth. Safety features include the rearview camera and the Teen Driver Assist, but there is nothing special for all drivers.

Performance

The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze comes in two engine variations. The first one is a turbocharged gasoline engine that can produce up to 153 horsepower. The second is a turbodiesel engine that reaches up to 137 horsepower in terms of output. As for the 2019 Subaru WRX, there are two turbo-four versions – the base engine that produces 268 horsepower, and the STI model that produces 310 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2019 Subaru WRX is indeed one of those compact cars that you will be proud to own. It simply knows how to fuse all the elements that you are looking for in a modern and sports car. It is good to look at on the outside, with technologies and materials that make it so appealing inside. Add to that, there is also a powerful engine under its hood, whose results are far better than what is under the 2019 Chevrolet Cruze’s hood.
