2020 Subaru Legacy vs. 2020 Kia Optima
The 2020 Subaru Legacy offers an all-wheel drive option and comes equipped with state-of-the-art tech features. It also flaunts a modern exterior whilst its interior seats 5 comfortably with a cabin space of 105.5 cubic feet and a practical trunk space of 15.1 cubic feet which is sufficient for cargo storage.
The 2020 Kia Optima does not sport an exterior outlook of an SUV appeal but it is still pleasantly appealing with optimum 15.9 cubic feet of interior space just adequate to accommodate both passengers and cargo.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru Legacy has an external outlook that has maintained since its previous model release except for a much sleeker nose. Its roofline also dips into the back at a much steeper angle with its side trimmings that merge into the doors. This model looks more sophisticated which is not really a common design that is expected to be seen among sedan models across various other makes and models.
The 2020 Kia Optima boasts a sporty exterior style than its predecessor with better outward vision and a clean overall layout of controls on its dashboard that barely features anything much or significant.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru Legacy sees an 11.6-inch touchscreen on its dash that is covered in a material that is soft to the touch. The ceiling is built especially lower to provide better and clearer outward vision. The Legacy also comes with the standard set of safety gears like airbags, auto emergency brakes, cruise and lane controls, and blind spot monitoring.
The 2020 Kia Optima is furnished with infotainment features such as an 8-inch touchscreen display with Apple/Android capability. For safety, gears include auto emergency brakes, pedestrian detection, and the Optima’s crash test scores are excellent.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Legacy is drove on 2 engines which gives better performance without any lack of efficiency all around. Its slimmer frame makes it possible for it to achieve higher power ratings if it gets powered by the turbo-4. On its base engine of 2.5L flat-4, it can produce 182 horsepower through its continuous variable transmission that could reach 60 mph within 8 seconds.
The 2020 Kia Optima is powered by a 2.4L inline-4 engine that puts out 185 horsepower. It has a fuel economy rating of 24 mpg for city, 32 mpg for highway and 27 mpg combined.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Legacy emphasizes more on comfort with its modern interior that aims for a smooth ride every time and its fuel efficiency rate is pretty reasonable. This overall mix makes the Legacy the clear vehicle choice.
The 2020 Kia Optima does not focus on performance though its power levels are not of a major letdown for daily commute.
