2021 Subaru Outback vs. 2021 Hyundai Kona
The 2021 Subaru Outback has a list of great things that car lovers are looking for. The wagon has two rows of roomy seats, spacious enough to accommodate five passengers. The cabin feels upscale too, and is gifted with reliable technologies.
For the 2021 Hyundai Kona, you will find the subcompact SUV charming too. The cabin has some of the best materials, and it promises a reliable infotainment setup.
Design & Style
The 2021 Subaru Outback starts with a basic cargo configuration of 32.5 cubic feet when the rear seats are in use together with the front seats. Fold that down and the area will expand to 75.7 cubic feet. Inside, passengers will find a roomy area where they can stretch in comfortably during long trips. The cabin has been designed with the best quality materials, making it look modern in terms of overall construction.
For the 2021 Hyundai Kona, expect a smaller cargo space when the rear seats are folded. This can only reach up to 45.8 cubic feet of luggage capacity. It has comfortable and supportive seats but the seating configuration is not as impressive as the one that the Outback offers. The cabin looks modern, but it does not really have the same luxurious feel that its Subaru counterpart offers.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Outback is given a pair of seven-inch touch screens which is perfect for its already reliable infotainment interface. Alongside this, there are physical knobs which makes using climate control and audio settings a breeze. Other features to look forward to include two USB ports, Bluetooth, four speakers, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Standard safety equipment, on the other hand, includes lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rearview camera, rear-seat reminder, adaptive cruise control, and forward automatic emergency breaking, among others.
For the Hyundai Kona, you can settle for the seven-inch touch screen for its infotainment system. This one works for functions like the two USB ports, smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and six speakers. Physical controls are available, but unlike those that are found in the Outback, these ones are not as remarkable. For safety, there is driver drowsiness monitoring, rearview camera, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and forward collision warning.
Performance
The Outback generates 182 horsepower from its 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The other version is turbocharged to result in 260 horsepower. For the Kona, its base four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine only kicks up to 147 horsepower. That of the turbo-four fails to impress too since it only comes up with power for 175 horses.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Subaru Outback is a ride that your family will surely love. This is one that wins all the aspects mentioned above, no questions asked. The 2021 Hyundai Kona shies away from it.
