2020 Subaru Outback vs. 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2020 Subaru Outback is able to seat 5 passengers in a comfortable setting with a good-sized head and legroom. Its fuel-efficiency rate is relatively high and it comes with exterior dimensions that are not too bulky to promote ease of access.
The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is an off-road high performer with a relatively larger external frame and bigger fuel tank. It focuses more on an upscale outlook while providing owners all the pre-requisites for an extraordinary off-road experience at a price.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru Outback provides ample passenger space with a volume of 109 cubic feet and a front legroom capacity of 55.5 and a second-row legroom capacity of 39.5 in. The Outback is great for road trips as its fuel tank could avoid frequent gas stations’ pitstops with a fuel economy that is rated at 33 mpg for highways. Road trips would also be much more convenient with its plentiful cargo space for luggage and more.
The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a bigger cabin size for both passengers as well as cargo. Its fuel tank is massive which is great for long destinations but that simply means a lack of fuel efficiency which is rated at only 19 mpg and 26 mpg for cities and highways respectively.
Technology & Safety
With a wider wheel turning radius, the 2020 Subaru Outback is a much easier car to maneuver. This factor often has a high consideration rate by potential buyers who are scouting for an SUV. The Outback offers standard safety features like the ABS and airbags combo and also several tech devices like a CD player, radio, power windows and door locks.
The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is equipped with the standard 4-wheel brake disc and ABS system for safety on top of more advanced features like blind spot monitor, parking sensor, and lane assist. It also has a relatively similar wide turning diameter of 37 ft. It features the regular Apple/Android compatibility on a 7-inch display infotainment system.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Outback creates 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque under an 8-speed continuous variable transmission on its 18.5-gallon fuel tank that rates a fuel economy of 26 mpg for cities and 33 mpg for highways.
The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee features a 3.6L engine that produces 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque on a regular unleaded type that emits an average of 8.4 tons/year of CO2.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Outback is exceptionally advanced with the features it has to offer for an outstanding off-road experience without sacrificing on fuel-efficiency. The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee performs much more remarkably but that comes with an obvious price hike and almost zero fuel economy rating that is not environmentally-friendly.
