2020 Subaru WRX vs. 2020 Ford Focus
The 2020 Subaru WRX is known for its sportiness. It has an overall good control and runs on high performance engines, specifically in the STI trim. Its tech features are mostly user-friendly for both technology and safety aspects.
The 2020 Ford Focus is a great choice to consider for those looking for an athletic-looking compact car. It has spacious front seats and has an overall good handling. Its suspension is stable even when driving over humps and bumps.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru WRX is able to seat 5 people with comfortable front seats that allow the driver to have full visibility. Its rear seats are just as supportive even for taller adults. Its interior is furnished with an elegant outlook made of quality supplies. Its trunk space runs to 12 cubic feet which is sufficient to accommodate approximately 9 grocery bags.
The 2020 Ford Focus is able to seat 5 people in its 2 rows of seating arrangement. The front area is spacious but the rear space gets a little compromised where adults might find it to be a little uneasy to sit. The seats are well-cushioned but front armrests could be a little thicker.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru WRX is equipped with the standard StarLink infotainment system on a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, audio system, 2 USB ports, Bluetooth, and Apple/Android platform compatibility. It features several safety aids like a rearview camera, cruise control, pre-collision brakes, forward collision warning, reverse auto brakes, lane departure and keep assists, blind spot monitoring, and rear traffic alert.
The 2020 Ford Focus has several pretty standard tech features such as its infotainment system that comes with a 4.2-inch display, USB port, 4 speakers, and Bluetooth. For safety, the Focus is equipped with blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear traffic alert, automatic high beams, and park assist.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru WRX can generate 268 horsepower on its base engine which is already a high rating even before considering its stronger option of the STI model which products 310 horsepower that boasts great pickup.
The 2020 Ford Focus base engine is with a 4-cylinder option which is already sufficient for most owners with 160 horsepower on a standard manual 5-speed transmission.
The Bottom Line
If you are a driving enthusiast looking for speed even for a daily ride to the store, the WRX should be your top pick. Its high performance doesn’t mean that comfort and space are being compromised as its seats are comfortable with ample trunk space. The Focus lacks on performance with a mere 160 horsepower and its rear seating is also lacking overall comfort.
