2021 Subaru Outback vs. 2020 FIAT 500L
A wagon that ranks at the top of its class, the 2021 Subaru Outback offers a lot of great things to its would-be users. It has roomy seats inside, with spacious cargo capacity too. It has an upscale cabin with solid standard technologies.
In the case of the 2020 FIAT 500L, you also find a spacious cabin and cargo area. There is a list of infotainment controls to look forward to.
Design & Style
The 2021 Outback simply impresses in terms of cargo space with a total of 32.5 cubic feet when seats are upright, and 75.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded flat. There is also plenty of headroom and legroom in this ride, thus making it ideal even for taller occupants, regardless of how short or long the trip is. It also has an attractive cabin that steps up in terms of high-quality materials used for its construction.
The 2021 500L, on the other hand, comes fitted with cloth upholstery. You will find both rows spacious enough to accommodate the needs of adults. What makes it uncomfortable though is its hard seats that lack sufficient bolstering. Design wise, there are plenty of hard plastics in the cabin as well, thus making it quite disappointing all-in-all when it comes to this aspect. Cargo space measures at about 23 cubic feet only.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Outback carries the reliable Starlink infotainment system which features a reliable interface. Apart from its two seven-inch touch screens, it also features physical knobs that can be used for audio and climate control purposes. It integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and also has two USB ports, four speakers, satellite radio, and Bluetooth. For advanced safety features, standard inclusions are lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rearview camera, rear-seat reminder, adaptive cruise control, and forward automatic emergency breaking, among others.
The 500L comes standard with FIAT’s Uconnect infotainment interface. This has a seven-inch touchscreen that supports functionalities for the USB port, six speakers, and Bluetooth. It also integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The only standard safety feature for this ride is its rearview camera. All other features can be enjoyed with higher trim levels.
Performance
The Outback is gifted with a base engine with a 2.5-liter capacity. This boosts 182 horsepower in terms of output. The 2.4-liter turbo-engine version can even reach more power at 260 horses. For the 500L, the base engine configuration only aspirates up to 160 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Subaru Outback looks lovely on the outside and even more delightful inside. Its dependable technologies make it even more favorable for those looking for their next ride. It also offers more power than that of the 202 FIAT 500L.
