2020 Subaru Outback vs. 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
The 2020 Subaru Outback seats 5 passengers comfortably with sufficient head and legroom. Its fuel economy is above average with an exterior size that is not that overwhelming so getting in and out of a parking spot proposes no issues at all.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe also seats 5 passengers with a tad more head and legroom. Its fuel economy is relatively less efficient and it is also much wider in terms of its external overall dimensions so to get in and out of the Santa Fe requires some effort.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru Outback offers a comfortable interior space with a volume of 109 cubic feet with a capacity of 55.5 in of front legroom and 39.5 in within the second row. The Outback is great for long trips as it would require much lesser pitstops at gas stations with a fuel efficiency rate of up to 33 mpg for highways. It is also great for family trips as it provides ample cargo space for luggage and such.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is a little friendlier to taller passengers, offering a volume of 110.7 cubic feet and a front legroom capacity of 44.1 in and 40.9 in of legroom in the second row. Its fuel efficiency is not that impressive though which is rated at only 29 for highways and so is its cargo space which is lacking of room.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru Outback is a much easier car to maneuver with a wider turning radius which is a factor often considered for buyers on the lookout for larger vehicles like an SUV. The Outback offers safety features such as the standard set of ABS and airbags and several tech devices like a CD player, radio, power windows and door locks.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has a smaller turning radius, hence making it much tougher to maneuver especially around tight spaces in addition to its already wider external frame. The Santa Fe is also equipped with the standard set of ABS and airbags and also the regular tech features like a radio, air-conditioning, and power locks and windows.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Outback produces 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque with its 8-speed continuous variable transmission and 18.5-gallon fuel tank that supports a fuel economy rate of 26 mpg for cities and 33 mpg for highways.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe can create 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque on an 8-speed automatic transmission. Its fuel economy is rated at 20 mpg and 26 mpg for cities and highways respectively on its 18.8-gallon fuel tank.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Outback is more sophisticated in terms of both its internal and external outlook as well as its features and off-road experience. The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe focuses more on its looks as well as internal space while sacrificing on overall efficiency of a family vehicle.
