2021 Subaru WRX vs. 2021 Volkswagen Golf
The 2021 Subaru WRX may not carry major changes when compared to its predecessor. Despite this fact, it still has plenty of things to offer including its agile handling, reliable technologies, and powerful engines.
Just like the WRX, the 2021 Volkswagen Golf does not really have major changes when placed side by side its 2020 version. It has a high-end cabin awaiting its users, though.
Design & Style
The 2021 Subaru WRX expands its initial 12 cubic feet of cargo space with its 60/40 splitting rear seats. This allows users to stow suitcases easily. The four-door sedan also comfortably seats five people with large windows to provide great visibility to passengers from the front, rear, and sides. It also has rear outboard seats which have an ample seat to accommodate occupants without any hassle. The interior looks good enough to impress its avid followers and would-be buyers.
The 2021 Golf, on the other hand, is a hatchback style car that can carry up to five people. It has plenty of room both on the front and rear seats, guaranteeing comfort to its occupants. In terms of overall design, this one has soft-touch surfaces inside, but it is not enough to impress those who would want to give the ride a try.
Technology & Safety
With a 6.5-inch reliable touch screen display, and buttons and knobs to control climate and audio, the WRX is really impressive in terms of technologies. It also flawlessly integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while also supporting other features like the two USB ports, Bluetooth, and satellite radio. Safety features start from the rearview camera, and can be upgraded to include adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward and reverse collision warning, adaptive headlights, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring.
Just like the WRX, the Golf is also outfitted with a 6.5-inch touch screen for its infotainment system. This one is not impressive though because the graphics are vague, and even slows down to user inputs. It has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but everything else is a miss for this ride in terms of technology. It has safety features which are somehow included in the WRX’s list.
Performance
Carrying a base 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine, the 2021 Subaru WRX puts off up to 268 horsepower for its base trim. That is ultimately better in terms of performance when compared to the 147 horsepower that the inline-four-cylinder engine in the 2021 Golf can generate.
The Bottom Line
Looking stylish and fantastic from the inside to the outside, the 2021 WRX really has that desirable attribute fit for being a king of all compact cars. The ride also has the most reliable technologies, plus a powerful engine to suit the demands of modern-day drivers. The Golf lags behind this ride.
