Serving Harrisonburg, VA

If you are hunting for a new vehicle that perfectly meets all of your practical needs for commuting and weekend adventures, your attention may be drawn to the Subaru line. The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is a smaller, sporty crossover SUV with a spacious interior and all of the features that you may desire. Some local drivers are torn between the new Crosstrek and the Kia Soul. The 2020 Kia Soul is a subcompact crossover SUV that is most well-known for its boxy shape. You need all of the facts about both of these models before you can make an informed selection.

Appearance

The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek has gorgeous flow from front to rear that enhances aerodynamics while giving it a modern feel. The nose is rounded, and it features black molding along the fascia that carries down the sides and to the rear bumper for a rugged edge and improved functionality. The horizontal chrome bar that runs through the grille draws attention to the beautiful shape of the LED headlights. Other exterior features on the Crosstrek include raised roof rails, high ground clearance, a power sunroof, powered and heated side mirrors, and other items. In comparison, the cubical shape of the 2020 Kia Soul is combined with squinting headlights that are linked by a narrow chrome element. This sits over an aggressive fascia featuring a black grille and foglamps.

Performance

If you decide that the 2020 Crosstrek is the right SUV for you, you can choose between a gas-powered powertrain and one hybrid variation. The gas engine is a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder BOXER powertrain with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission. It delivers 152 horsepower, and the hybrid variation provides you with 137 horsepower. Additional mechanical features in the Crosstrek include symmetrical all-wheel drive, auto start-stop, X-Mode, hill descent control, hill start assist, and more.

In comparison, the 2020 Kia Soul is only available with gas-powered engines. All trims except the top option are equipped with an inline-4, 2.0-liter engine that generates 147 horsepower. It comes with a manual or automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, power steering, and other gear.
