2020 Subaru Forester vs. 2020 Nissan Kicks
The 2020 Subaru Forester is praised for coming standard with a rear seat reminder. It also offers lane centering system as part of its available list of upgrades. Love it even more for its spacious seats and its promising fuel economy.
The 2020 Nissan Kicks, on the other hand, attracts attention with a promise of a longer list of standard safety features. To begin with, however, it is sad to note that it has now converted the driver drowsiness monitoring into an optional feature. Nonetheless, it still gets some point for having an abundant cargo space.
Design & Style
Looking masculine and rugged on the outside, the 2020 Subaru Forester is also praised for a well-designed interior. It has been equipped with basic upholstery, which can be upgraded to leather material for higher trims. What’s more, it accommodates passengers without any complains in its well-bolstered seats inside. There is also a spacious cargo space to carry stuff during longer travels.
Also offering comfortable rows of supportive seats, the 2020 Nissan Kicks promises to seat up to five passengers. The space at the back actually limits the number to four especially if adults are joining the trip. It is praised for its well-constructed interior, but the use of hard plastics will surely dismay you.
Technology & Safety
The Subaru Forester carries a straightforward Starlink infotainment interface which depends on a remarkable 6.5-inch touch screen display. It provides support both for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while also incorporating other technologies like the HD radio, satellite radio, two USB ports, and a four-speaker audio. Standard safety aids on top of the rear seat reminded and rearview camera are adaptive cruise control, lane departure prevention, lane departure sway and warning, lead vehicle start alert, pre-collision throttle management, and pre-collision braking.
The Kicks, on the other hand, is blessed with an infotainment system that has a seven-inch touch screen display. This interface is glad to offer easy-to-use physical audio and climate functions. It supports a six-speaker audio system, three USB ports, Bluetooth, and Siri Eyes Free, but not Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety wise, you get a rearview camera, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, high-beam assist, and rear parking sensors.
Performance
The Forester enjoys a power for 182 horses with its four-cylinder engine. The turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder in the Ford Edge gets 250 horsepower in rating. Despite this, it feels underwhelming to drive the SUV at higher speeds, and even when cruising.
In the case of the Nissan Kicks, it has a 1.6-liter engine which rates at 122 horsepower only.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Forester knows how to impress would-be car owners out there. Given its interior and exterior design and style, plus a handful of remarkable technologies, you will truly love to buy one.
