2022 Subaru WRX vs. 2022 Hyundai Elantra
The 2022 Subaru WRX offers potent engine options to its avid followers. While it has no major changes when compared to the 2020 edition, you are sure to experience agile handling in this ride.
When it comes to the 2022 Hyundai Elantra, there is a roomy cabin awaiting its passengers. It is a fully redesigned version of its predecessor with a long list of standard features to boast.
Design & Style
Blessed with 12 cubic feet of cargo area, the 2022 Subaru WRX can fit a pair of those golf bags or a couple’s suitcases for the weekend. It is perfect for about a dozen grocery bags as well. The four-door sedan has enough seats for five passengers, with front seats offering comfort through its cushions as well as hip-hugging support during bumpy rides. You will find sufficient amount of legroom and headroom on both rows of seats too. Standard amenities include manually-adjustable front seats and cloth upholstery. The cabin is also sturdy.
The Elantra has a 14.2 cubic feet of trunk capacity. This makes it a bit larger than that of the Subaru, but there are wheel wells below that reduces that space further. It promises to carry up to five passengers but the area is not really as spacious as it boasts. There are plenty of boring materials and hard plastics in the cabin, thus making the ride look outdated.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 WRX boasts of a simple menu layout for its 6.5-inch touch screen and Starlink infotainment system combination. There are knobs and buttons that can be used to adjust climate and audio controls too. This flawlessly supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and has a satellite radio, two USB ports, and a Bluetooth interface. It has a rearview camera, plus available driver aids like rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, automatic high beams, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control, among others.
The 2022 Elantra, meanwhile, has some technologies for you to watch out for. The eight-inch touch screen can be used to access menus for the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as for voice recognition two USB ports, Bluetooth, and four speakers. For safety, it is equipped with safe exit warning, forward collision warning, high-beam assist, lane follow assist, and rearview camera.
Performance
The 2022 WRX is equipped with a base turbocharged four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine that can give it a maximum power for 268 horses. This result is better than that of the engine found under the Elantra’s hood which can only reach up to 147 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2022 Subaru WRX is a good ride for a small family, which has the modern touches, remarkable technologies and powerful engines to watch out for. The Hyundai Elantra simply lags behind it.
