2020 Honda CR-V
2020 Subaru Outback
2020 CR-V vs. 2020 Outback Comparison in Greenville, NC
In your search for just the right SUV, you've probably come across two popular and competing SUVs: the 2020 Honda CR-V and the 2020 Subaru Outback. Both offer lots of storage space, powerful engines, fuel efficiency, and modern safety features that will help you feel reassured on the road. But which is better? We've compared these two SUVs side-by-side to find out.
Performance
There are many benefits to driving an SUV over a sedan or compact car, and one of those benefits is the boost in power that SUVs offer. The 2020 Honda CR-V is powered by a 2.4-liter engine that offers 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, while the Outback offers a weaker 2.5-liter engine with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. Both SUVs operate with a Continuously Variable Transmission. As far as drivetrain goes, you have more options with the CR-V, which offers both two and all-wheel drive while the Outback only offers all-wheel drive. Though the CR-V carries the more powerful engine, you'll find that it's more fuel efficient than the Outback, giving you more mile for mile.
Interior Comparison
Another SUV perk is the large cargo space they offer. Behind the second row of seats in the CR-V, you'll find a spacious 39.2 cubic-feet of space, while the Outback only manages 32.5 cubic-feet. When the rear row is stowed, the SUVs are more comparable in space - the CR-V sees 75.8 cubic-feet and the Outback manages 75.7 cubic-feet. Though the storage space is essentially the same when the second row is stowed, you'll have much more cargo space in the CR-V on a daily basis when the second row is upright and in use.
Safety Features
Both the 2020 CR-V and the 2020 Outback come standard with driver assistance suites, Honda Sensing® and EyeSight® respectively. Honda Sensing includes:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System
- Road Departure Mitigation Braking System
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist System
EyeSight includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warning
- Pre-Collision Braking
- Pre-Collision Throttle Management
Both systems are fairly comprehensive, though the Honda Sensing suite offers an advantage with the Road Departure Mitigation system that the EyeSight suite doesn't include.
