2020 Subaru WRX vs. 2020 Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai and Subaru are two top car brands in the industry known for their long list of vehicles on offer. Two of them include the 2020 Hyundai Elantra and the 2020 Subaru WRX. If you are locked for a choice between the two, the below comparison may help you understand the key highlights
Design & Style
The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a 5-seater model with standard cloth upholstery and optional power-adjustable driver’s seats, heated front seats and leather upholstery. The comfortable seats in the front offer ample support, while the rear seats feel cramped for tall passengers. The interior quality does not feel as luxurious as other rivals.
The 2020 Subaru WRX is an ideal family hauler that can easily seat up to 5 full-sized adults. There’s ample room across both the rows, and one can stretch out while on a long drive. The back seats are also spacious, and they remain supportive for long. The interior is replete with quality materials and soft surfaces.
Technology & Safety
Speaking of technology, the 2020 Hyundai Elantra comes with a small 5-inch display, 6-speaker system, Bluetooth and a USB port. There are not many features in the base version and you need to opt for upgrades such as Blue Link telematics system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, wireless charging and 7/8 inch touch screen. The infotainment system has intuitive menu layout, but the touch screen can be a pain to operate at times. Some of the safety features include a rearview camera, driver attention monitor, lane keep assist and forward collision warning.
The 2020 WRX is blessed with plethora of tech features including Starlink infotainment interface with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, HD radio and a 6-speaker stereo. The interface is quite user friendly and there are plenty of physical controls within easy reach of driver. Speaking of driver assistance features, there are plenty including lane keep assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, emergency braking, pre-collision braking, forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control.
Performance
When it comes to performance, the 2020 Hyundai Elantra disappoints us with a meager 147-HP powertrain coupled with CVT. It feels sluggish in most conditions, and not ideal for highway merging.
Subaru WRX is way ahead of its competitors with a turbocharged 268-HP engine that offers plenty of oomph for merging at top speeds and tackling sharp turns.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Hyundai Elantra may be a good daily commuter, but there is no fun to drive this vehicle. Most of the rivals such as WRX are more exciting to accelerate and have better features to offer.
