2020 Subaru WRX vs 2020 Ford Fusion
Raucous, rambunctious and speed-defying, the latest 2020 Subaru WRX is a basically a street-legal rally car. The handling is precise, and steering is quick. It gives stability around corners and is quick off the line. If you are looking for performance and thrills, the WRX is the vehicle made for you.
The 2020 Ford Fusion hardly differs from its previous model but still delivers a fuel economy result. Its design is classic but is set to retire soon. Adequate cabin, decent size boot space, and steady acceleration is what the Fusion can offer.
Design & Style
Additional upgrades such as the infotainment system in the latest 2020 Subaru WRX keep things interesting. Optional performance packages such as Brembo brakes and Recaro performance racing seats are something we would recommend. All models in the WRX offers comfortable and well-cushioned seats that have contrasting red trims. The WRX has spacious cargo space and if you need to load bulky items, the split-folding rear seat provides enough room for large baggage.
Stylish, safe and fully equipped, the 2020 Ford Fusion competes well within its class. Enter the cabin and you will find decent quality material, clean design, and comfortable seats. In terms of leg and headroom, the Fusion performs adequately.
Technology & Safety
An infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard in all Subaru’s 2020 lineup. Fitted with seven airbags, an Eyesight system, and driver assistance technology, the WRX is relatively safe.
Like the WRX, the Ford Fusion comes standard with an infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It has a built-in Waze navigation system and key safety features such as active lane control and automatic emergency braking system.
Performance
Unleashing 268 horsepower with its turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, the WRX launches like a proverbial rocket off the line. The chassis of the WRX is best engaging when pushed hard. The well-weighted vehicle and performance gripped tires enable smooth turns around tight corners. The WRX inspires confidence in all drivers with its stability and reliability.
With only 175 horsepower, the 2020 Ford Fusion is not as quick as the WRX. Its breathless acceleration and sluggish transmission are not ideal for drivers who are looking for an adventure. It is more suited for highway and mountain passes.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru WRX is a vehicle that has a sweet spot for performance. It provides plenty of fuel and adrenaline for drivers looking for thrills and adventure. Equipped with a robust braking system, the WRX can handle aggressive stops and turns easily. The overall design of the WRX is sharp and has multiple powertrain options for drivers to choose if they require even more power.
Well-equipped across the range of Ford’s lineup, the 2020 Ford Fusion is an adequate vehicle for a peaceful ride. Although it is a victim of low-quality interior material and sultry sheet metal, it still provides a comfortable front cabin but has small rear passenger seats. However, the Fusion is due to be discontinued so you might want to look somewhere else.
