2020 Subaru Outback vs. 2020 Kia Soul
Research is an important part when you are looking to invest in a luxury car. We have some top-range models in the market, and in this post, we are going to compare the 2020 Kia Soul and the 2020 Subaru Outback for your better understanding of the key touch points.
Design & Style
Kia Soul claims to be a 5-seater car, but actually it can hold only two adults at the back, with comfort. The front seats are quite supportive, but you may not enjoy ample legroom and headroom at the back, as compared to other rivals. The high-seating position gives a good visibility, though. The interior is well-built, but not something special. The styling looks bland, and some rivals offer more upscale features.
The 2020 Subaru Outback boasts a handsome interior replete with quality materials and plenty of soft surfaces. It offers ample room in both the rows for adults to sit back comfortably for extended trips. Cloth upholstery is standard, and you can opt for Nappa leather seats or genuine leather. The cargo space is enough to hold a dozen bags.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Kia Soul comes standard with a UVO infotainment system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, USB port and 6-speakers. Optional features include Harman Kardon system, navigation, wireless device and sunroof. The system works pretty good, and there are some physical controls to maneuver audio and volume. However, there are not many safety features with this model. You only have a rearview camera in the base model. All other features are optional including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and a head-up display.
The 2020 Subaru Outback comes standard with a dual-screen infotainment system along with USB ports, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 7-inch screen. The system is futuristic and it serves as the center for most of the functions. You also have traditional buttons and knobs for common controls. The clear markings make it easy to operate. Speaking of safety, standard features include rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic high-beam headlights.
Performance
The 2020 Kia Soul comes standard with a 147-HP 4-cylinder engine that gets the job done, in terms of daily driving. However, don’t expect it to be as peppy as other rivals such as Outback. This Subaru model tackles most situations with ease, thanks to a 182-HP four-cylinder engine that offers ample power to get you going from a stop.
The Bottom Line
The brand new Subaru Outback has got some big improvements, without losing any of the flamboyance that has made this car, worth a choice. The quirky styling and ample passenger space make it one of the top-rated cars in the market.
