2020 Subaru WRX vs. 2020 Volkswagen Golf

The 2020 Subaru WRX is one of the most fun-to-drive vehicles in class with a nice cabin and high safety scores. On the other hand, the 2020 Volkswagen is known for its vibrant handling, but fails to impress with overall passenger comfort. Design & Style The 2020 Volkswagen golf is a four-door hatchback model that has average seating space in both the rows. Synthetic leather upholstery and heated front seats comes standard. The interior has impressive materials and the seats are of strong build quality, but you may find some low-grade plastics as well. There’s no luxury like finish, as you may expect. The 2020 WRX can seat up to 5 people, with comfortable and spacious seats on offer. Unlike the other rivals, rear seats have ample legroom and headroom on offer for taller folks. The seats remain comfortable and supportive on extended trips. The interior has a polished feel and there are plenty of soft touch surfaces on offer. Technology & Safety The 2020 Golf comes equipped with a touch-screen Car Net system with features like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, navigation system and Wi-Fi hot spot.

The Golf TSI comes standard with a rearview camera, rain-sensing windshield wipers, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, pedestrian monitoring, Collison braking, automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning. The key tech feature with the Subaru WRX is the StarLink infotainment system that comes included with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, USB ports, Bluetooth, HD Radio and 6-speaker stereo. The easy-to-reach system features a touch screen that is quick to respond. The interface is pretty easy to master, and helpful connectivity features such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay add to the convenience.

Performance The 2020 Volkswagen Golf comes with a 147-HP 4-cylinder engine paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. As the numbers suggest, it fails to provide an athletic ride to a spirited driver. You should rather look for an option like WRX, which features a 268-HP powertrain that offers plenty of power for highway merging and passing. The Bottom Line The 2020 Subaru WRX brings together driving fun and practicality. Its spacious interior and lively handling make for an engaging experience. On the other hand, the 2020 Golf has a few downsides, as it has a very confined list of available features, along with an underpowered base engine.

If you are locked for a choice between the two, the below comparison may help you understand the key highlights Design & Style The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a 5-seater model with standard cloth upholstery and optional power-adjustable driver’s seats, heated front seats and leather upholstery. The comfortable seats in the front offer ample support, while the rear seats feel cramped for tall passengers. The interior quality does not feel as luxurious as other rivals. The 2020 Subaru WRX is an ideal family hauler that can easily seat up to 5 full-sized adults. There’s ample room across both the rows, and one can stretch out while on a long drive. The back seats are also spacious, and they remain supportive for long. The interior is replete with quality materials and soft surfaces. Technology & Safety Speaking of technology, the 2020 Hyundai Elantra comes with a small 5-inch display, 6-speaker system, Bluetooth and a USB port. There are not many features in the base version and you need to opt for upgrades such as Blue Link telematics system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, wireless charging and 7/8 inch touch screen. The infotainment system has intuitive menu layout, but the touch screen can be a pain to operate at times. Some of the safety features include a rearview camera, driver attention monitor, lane keep assist and forward collision warning. The 2020 WRX is blessed with plethora of tech features including Starlink infotainment interface with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, HD radio and a 6-speaker stereo.

Subaru WRX is way ahead of its competitors with a turbocharged 268-HP engine that offers plenty of oomph for merging at top speeds and tackling sharp turns. The Bottom Line The 2020 Hyundai Elantra may be a good daily commuter, but there is no fun to drive this vehicle. Most of the rivals such as WRX are more exciting to accelerate and have better features to offer. Ready to Schedule Your 2020 Subaru WRX Test Drive Today?

We have some top-range models in the market, and in this post, we are going to compare the 2020 Kia Soul and the 2020 Subaru Outback for your better understanding of the key touch points. Design & Style Kia Soul claims to be a 5-seater car, but actually it can hold only two adults at the back, with comfort. The front seats are quite supportive, but you may not enjoy ample legroom and headroom at the back, as compared to other rivals. The high-seating position gives a good visibility, though. The interior is well-built, but not something special. The styling looks bland, and some rivals offer more upscale features. The 2020 Subaru Outback boasts a handsome interior replete with quality materials and plenty of soft surfaces. It offers ample room in both the rows for adults to sit back comfortably for extended trips. Cloth upholstery is standard, and you can opt for Nappa leather seats or genuine leather.

Optional features include Harman Kardon system, navigation, wireless device and sunroof. The system works pretty good, and there are some physical controls to maneuver audio and volume. However, there are not many safety features with this model. You only have a rearview camera in the base model. All other features are optional including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and a head-up display. The 2020 Subaru Outback comes standard with a dual-screen infotainment system along with USB ports, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 7-inch screen. The system is futuristic and it serves as the center for most of the functions. You also have traditional buttons and knobs for common controls. The clear markings make it easy to operate. Speaking of safety, standard features include rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic high-beam headlights. Performance The 2020 Kia Soul comes standard with a 147-HP 4-cylinder engine that gets the job done, in terms of daily driving.

The Bottom Line The brand new Subaru Outback has got some big improvements, without losing any of the flamboyance that has made this car, worth a choice.

2020 Subaru Outback vs. 2020 Honda CR-V

The fully redesigned 2020 Subaru Outback comes with a classy cabin and plenty of passenger space. Honda CR-V is another leader in this compact SUV segment, but low-rated performance pushes it behind Outback in terms of rankings. Design & Style The 2020 Honda CR-V comes standard with cloth upholstery and it can seat up to 5 across two rows. This small crossover fails to provide ample legroom and headroom in the back seats, and most rivals have more space to offer. This SUV has an upscale cabin, although there are some cheap plastics as well. The 2020 Subaru Outback is outfitted with a rigid interior and exterior. Cabin styling is of the highest standards, and every trim piece looks lavish. The large infotainment screen add to the overall appeal.

Technology & Safety Honda CR-V comes with a small 5-inch infotainment screen along with 4-speaker stereo, USB port and Bluetooth. Optional features include 9 speakers, a moonroof, USB ports, HD Radio and wireless charging. Unlike other rivals, you don’t get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard smartphone integration feature. There are no physical controls for on-screen infotainment, and the touch screen can be slow to respond. Standard driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, road departure warning, rearview camera and automatic headlights. Subaru Outback is blessed with plenty of tech features which include the dual-screen infotainment, each measuring up to 7-inch. Other key highlights include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB ports and satellite radio. There are plenty of physical buttons well within the reach of drivers. Speaking of safety, Outback is loaded with the EyeSight suite of safety technology. It includes lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control, along with rearview camera as standard. Performance The 2020 Honda CR-V comes with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder powertrain rated at 190-HP. It offers average power to move the vehicle, but the fuel efficiency is a bit too low. Subaru Outback, on the other hand, comes standard with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that offers enough passing power to move the vehicle from a stop and accelerate smoothly to a speed. The all-wheel drive stays planted across sharp turns and the controlled motion offers a poised ride. The Bottom Line The Subaru Outback is best suited for both on-road and off-road tracks. It has an upscale cabin and a long list of features to offer, making it one of the top buys in the market. Ready to Schedule Your 2020 Subaru Outback Test Drive Today?
