2021 Subaru WRX vs. 2021 Chevrolet Bolt
The 2021 Subaru WRX, just like other compact cars from the same brand, is gifted with a lot of major accomplishments. It may not carry any notable difference when compared to its 2020 version, but those powerful engines under its hood simply impresses users.
When it comes to the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt, expect that the battery works on a longer range. This one also promises swift acceleration. The ride is roomy in terms of cargo space.
Design & Style
The 2021 Subaru WRX is gifted with a trunk area which can carry luggage for that much-needed weekend getaway. This area has a 60/40 split when the rear seats are folded, thus allowing more valuables to be kept in there. The ride seats up to five people, all comfortable with the amount of legroom and headroom that the vehicle has been gifted with. That hip-hugging support makes bumpier rides smoother than ever. The cabin is sporty and sturdy all throughout.
In the case of the 2021 Chevy Bolt, you will find an expanding cargo area when the rear seats are not in use. Seating up to five people, there is enough legroom and headroom to accommodate passengers of all sizes and ages. The problem is it does not have that extra cushioning for comfort. There are also plenty of low-grade plastics that destroy the car’s overall look.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Subaru WRX also shares the same 6.5-inch touch screen setup for its Starlink infotainment system with those of its brothers from the brand. This has a simple menu layout, displaying readable graphics while responding quickly to user inputs all the time. Physical knobs can be used to adjust climate and audio control settings. It also has other features like automatic climate control, two USB ports, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and smartphone integration. It has a base rearview camera, with an option for you to upgrade and include other advanced driver aids like lane departure warning, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and forward and reverse collision warning.
The 2021 Chevy Bolt, on the other hand, uses a 10.2-inch touch screen which is quite big and impressive in terms of size when compared to what is found in the WRX. Note, however, that this one does not respond well to user inputs. It supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bluetooth interface, Wi-fi hot spot, satellite radio, and six speakers. Safety features included in the ride are the rearview camera and Teen Driver feature for secondary drivers.
Performance
The 2021 WRX engine is one with a 2.0-liter capacity. This four-cylinder configuration is impressive enough to reach up to 268 horsepower. For the Chevy Bolt, its electric motor combo with a 66-kW lithium-ion battery only reaches up to 200 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Subaru WRX simply defeats the 2021 Chevrolet Bolt in all aspects. It deserves to be your next family compact car.
