2020 Subaru Forester vs. 2020 Kia Niro
There are plenty of things to expect in the 2020 Subaru Forester. Apart from its spacious seats, and lovely interior, it now comes standard with a rear seat reminder. Lane centering system is also available for those who want to upgrade.
A hybrid SUV, the 2020 Kia Niro comes with an updated exterior and interior styling. It also promises a new list of standard and available features. The intuitive infotainment system is something to look forward to.
Design & Style
Carrying a masculine appeal on the outside, the 2020 Subaru Forester never fails to impress even on the inside. It has a spacious cargo area, apart from having generous seats for its passengers. Wide-opening rear doors make entering and exiting the car a whole lot easier. It has plenty of legroom at the back too. There is a supple leather upholstery for higher trims in this ride as well.
Seating five people comfortably, the 2020 Niro promises ample support even during long drives. Passengers will never have to complain about space when seated inside. Soft-touch materials cover most of its surfaces, however, it is noticeable that there are also hard plastics that destroy the overall look and feel of the ride.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru Forester has the Starlink infotainment interface which is made even more user-friendly by its 6.5-inch touch screen display. It integrates both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it has a satellite radio, four-speaker stereo, HD radio, and two USB ports. Standard safety features include adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, lane departure and sway warning, lead vehicle start alert, and lane departure prevention. These are on top of the rearview camera and the now standard rear seat reminder.
The 2020 Niro carries the UVO infotainment system which is paired with an eight-inch touch screen display. It has Bluetooth, four speakers, and a USB port. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It is disappointing to note though that only the rearview camera is standard for this ride. All other safety technologies require additional investment on your part.
Performance
Giving the 2020 Subaru Forester its power is a four-cylinder engine under its hood. This generates results of up to 182 horsepower. The Rogue’s four-cylinder engine, on the other hand, can only result in 170 horsepower. This engine tends to be noisy when accelerating.
The Niro, being a hybrid, gets its power from an electric motor, and a four-cylinder engine that allows it to rate 139 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Forester is filled with features that any car driver will love to have for a ride. It is stylish, and trendy, plus it performs very well on the road too. It definitely deserves to be your next ride.
