2020 Subaru Legacy vs. 2020 Hyundai Accent
The latest 2020 Subaru Legacy has more technology and refinement than its previous model. A slightly more evolved design that packs a ton of goodness such as a big cargo space, an improved engine and the latest multimedia system. It has an improved suspension that makes going over rough terrain look easy and a turbocharged engine for those who require more power.
The latest edition to Hyundai is the 2020 Hyundai Accent. It is a vehicle that is lightweight and provides something for people who has a budget constraint. It is fun and easy to drive but not as powerful and spacious compared to the Legacy. For those looking to have a quick start off the line, you might want to look somewhere else.
Design & Style
As soon as you enter the Legacy, you will find a pragmatic look to it. With plenty of space for passengers and big windows for excellent visibility, this is no doubt a family size car. Its massive trunk can carry huge luggage and its split-folding seats can accommodate large items if required. The Legacy has black and gray tone upholstery which makes the seats feel sturdy and the contrasting red stitches around the interior elevate the entire cabin.
The interior of the Accent is well built but the cabin size is relatively small. Boot space is not that big either. The cabin is fitted with two-tone black seats and a dash which gives it a darker feel to the entire interior.
Technology & Safety
The latest version of Subaru’s Starlink infotainment interface is installed in the Legacy. Features include driver assistance, keyless engine system, climate controls, Apple Car Play and Android Auto integration. Key safety features that are fitted within the Legacy are lane departure assistance, lane departure prevention and many more.
The Accent has a standard 5.0-inch touchscreen that provides an infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features such as the automated emergency braking system and forward-collision warning are also included in the Accent.
Performance
Equipped with 2.5-liter flat-four producing 182 horsepower, the 2020 Subaru Legacy is quick to get off the line. With is superb suspension, it can tackle undulations and rough terrain without much trouble. Driving through twists and corners is just as easy. Due to its stability, it gives drivers more confidence and the cabin is also hushed during highway speeds.
The accent, on the other hand, has a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine which makes only 120 horsepower. Due to its small body and lightweight, accelerating through corners is not as stable and it does not tackle bumpy roads very well. Harsh impacts and aggressive acceleration might cause vibrations through the cabin.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Legacy is in fact, an all-rounded, all-weather sedan that is great for every driver. You can use it for a short cruise downtown or occasional long-distance road trips. It engages the driver with an enjoyable experience while providing comfortability and reliability.
With a ride and handling just average, the 2020 Hyundai Accent can certainly do better. Its small rear doors and awkward entry and exit for passengers is quite a hassle. With a low engine base and a small cargo, getting the behind the wheel of an Accent for long road trips might not be a good idea.
