2020 Subara WRX vs 2020 Toyota Yaris

Fast, aggressive and rugged, the 2020 Subaru WRX is great for a weekend track or a long road trip. This year’s lineup, Subaru automakers prioritize the WRX with top-class performance and impressive features topped with high-tech cabins. The WRX is agile in handling, has a handsome interior and its reliability is just as impressive.

The Toyota Yaris is available in both sedan and hatchback body styles. It is lighter in weight but smaller in cabin size as compared to the WRX. It provides user-friendly features and ranks fair at the top of the subcompact car class.

Design & Style

The redesign of the latest 2020 WRX looks faster, bolder and feels comfortable at the same time. The interior cabin is fitted with carbon-like trims and matte silver finishes that are pleasant to the eyes. Wrapped in either cloth or premium leather upholstery, the spacious seats provide extreme comfortability for all passengers in the car.

The 2020 Yaris can carry a family of five with seats that provide good lateral support. The headroom is lesser than the WRX which makes it hard to access for taller adults. The design and style of the Yaris are that of an entry-level vehicle with a mix of chintzy plastic materials being used on the interior.

Technology & Safety

Plenty spacious with a user-friendly infotainment software integrated into the WRX, applications such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are compatible with the system. All standard safety features that come equipped with the WRX are automatic emergency braking system, adaptive cruise control, active lane control and many more.

Like the WRX, the Yaris has standard infotainment that comes integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Rearview camera, forward collision, and brake assist are some of the key features that come with the Yaris.

Performance

Producing 268 horsepower, the WRX can handle all daily driving duties without breaking a sweat. Quick off the line with spacious interior and big cargo space, the WRX is an all-rounded vehicle that is great for hauling and essentially a street-legal rally car that is made for traction and speed. It has on-point steering and impressive acceleration that elevates the entire driving experience.

Fitted with only a 1.5-liter engine, the Yaris has the capability to produce only 106 horsepower which is half of the WRX. It is adequate for riding around town but struggles up to highway speed. The car gets noisier when acceleration is pushed but performs well at winding roads.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Subaru WRX is a vehicle that seems to get better every time. Performing at its best with sharp reflexes, spacious interior, turbo quick acceleration, and desirable sporty features, the WRX covers all areas with stunning capability.

The 2020 Toyota Yaris is not as speedy and spacious compared to the WRX but still performs adequately on roads and highway. Its design is sleek, has a great fuel economy and is more catered toward a more relaxed driver.
