2020 Subaru Impreza vs. 2021 Honda Civic
The 2020 Subaru Impreza is the popular choice among potential car buyers looking for a compact car with good fuel economy rating. Its wheels support good traction to ensure safe rides during poor weather conditions. Its internal room offers ample space with full utilization of all the storage for small items.
The 2021 Honda Civic is rated as a highly affordable compact car that provides a comfortable cabin space with great fuel efficiency rating. This model does not see much changes from its predecessor as its design and performance upgrades are minimal.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru Impreza sees its external side trims looking sleek and appealing to the eyes whilst its interior flaunts stitches on the doors that are of a color that is contrasting against the backdrop with a panel for instruments that is extendable for easy access. Externally, it comes with a wide front grille and a bumper that was designed to be positioned low with wheel arches that wrap around a wheelbase of between 16 – 18 inches.
The 2021 Honda Civic is more traditional when it comes to its exterior style but it still promotes overall comfort. Its interior design aims at achieving an upscale outlook with materials that are of a high quality rating.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru Impreza comes with a dash that has an infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display. It has a good in-built control layout which is to ensure better outward vision. For safety, the Impreza offers auto emergency brakes, pedestrian detection, lane and cruise controls, and traffic alerts.
The 2021 Honda Civic has a dashboard with a 7-inch touchscreen for infotainment that is compatible with both Apple and Android platforms, a USB port, climate control, heated front seats, and passenger blind spot camera. For safety, the Civic features auto emergency brakes, lane and cruise controls, and it boasts very good crash test scores.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Impreza can make 152 horsepower on its agile all-wheel drive that runs on a 2L flat-4 engine via an auto continuous variable transmission that also makes 145 pound-feet of torque.
The 2021 Honda Civic runs on its base 2L inline-4 engine that puts out 158 horsepower via an auto continuous variable transmission or an optional 6-speed manual. This is only a slight higher performance that isn’t that impactful.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Impreza has always been the preferred choice for potential buyers who are on the lookout for a comfortable compact car that does not lack on overall performance and efficiency aside from having an appealing external style.
The 2021 Honda Civic lacks of trunk space and its performance is nothing over the top. Fuel economy is relatively similar so there really isn’t any significant differences for the price you are paying for.
