2020 Subaru Legacy vs. 2020 Nissan Altima

The 2020 Subaru Legacy has been completely redesigned by its maker. It has an intuitive set of technology features, plus an upscale cabin to look forward to.

The 2020 Nissan Altima, on the other hand, does not include major changes. Seats are comfortable plus it promises great fuel economy as well. It also guarantees a smooth ride with its engine options.

Design & Style

With rugged edges defining the sporty yet modern 2020 Subaru Legacy, it has the looks that you want in a midsize car. It has plenty of legroom and headroom to accommodate taller passengers with tis five-seating configuration. Supportive and comfortable seats are part of this ride too, together with excellent visibility for the driver.

Seating up to five people, the Nissan Altima has an eight-power adjustable driver seat. It also comes standard with cloth upholstery. With its sleek cabin design, it still lacks the same level of class offered by its rivals, the Legacy included.

Technology & Safety

Using a seven-inch touchscreen instead of the usual 6.5-inch version, the 2020 Subaru Legacy easily impresses in terms of technologies. It also has support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a Bluetooth interface, two USB ports, satellite radio, and four-speaker audio. Aside from the standard rearview camera, the ride also has lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, sway warning, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning.

The base Altima trim features an eight-inch touch screen for its NissanConnect infotainment system. It also has Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, two USB ports, a six-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and Siri Eyes Free. For standard safety features, it includes forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and a rearview camera.

Performance

The 2020 Subaru Legacy has a standard base engine that produces up to 182 horsepower. The turbocharged four version for this ride is capable of producing up to 260 horsepower. The base trim for the Altima, on the other hand, has a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine that gives it up to 188 horsepower in terms of output. The SR and Platinum trims has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine reaching 248 horsepower. Looking at the numbers, the Legacy definitely defeats the Altima.
