2020 Subaru Outback vs 2020 Honda CR-V
Serving Harrisonburg, VA
If you're looking to buy or lease a new crossover SUV, today's market gives you many options to choose from. However, the completely redesigned 2020 Subaru Outback has leaped ahead of the pack. Not only does the new Outback pack more technology, but it also has an updated look. Let's find out how the 2020 Subaru Outback compares to the 2020 Honda CR-V.
Performance
Like the 2020 Subaru Outback, the 2020 Honda CR-V comes equipped with an efficient engine. However, only the Outback offers an upgraded powertrain. Subaru's new turbocharged four-cylinder engine cranks out an impressive 260 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. This is more muscle than you get from the CR-V, which produces 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. Expect the turbocharged Outback to offer much more vigorous acceleration. If you need to pull a trailer or small camper, you'll also find the Outback to be more suitable for the job. While the Outback can tow up to 3,500 pounds, Honda lists the CR-V with a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds.
Off-Road Capabilities
While the 2020 Subaru Outback delivers a smooth performance on the street, it's also a capable off-road machine. When traveling through the rough backcountry, don't expect the 2020 Honda CR-V to perform nearly as well. A full-time Symmetrical AWD system comes standard on the Outback, which enhances traction in the mud and snow. You can also take advantage of the Outback's higher ground clearance. Furthermore, only the Outback offers dual-function X-MODE. This feature gives you maximum grip in virtually any condition.
Features
If you're a technology lover, you'll especially enjoy Subaru's Starlink infotainment system. While a 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, you can upgrade to a larger 11.6-inch touchscreen. To even get the Honda CR-V with a 7.0-inch, you must step up to a more expensive trim. Music fans will be excited by the Outback's 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system, which is a step above the CR-V's available nine-speaker sound system. Exclusive safety technologies further separate the new Outback. Whether you're parking or enjoying an off-road adventure, Subaru's new front-view monitor helps you to see obstacles better. Reverse automatic braking and LED Steering Responsive Headlights are also exclusively offered on the Outback.
