2020 HR-V vs. 2020 Crosstrek Near Sarasota, FL
Subcompact SUVs have gotten even more popular over the last few years as more and more drivers desire an upgrade on space without sacrificing the easy performance of a car. If you've been researching which of the many subcompact SUVs might be right for you, you've likely seen the 2020 Honda HR-V and the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek on many lists of great subcompact SUVs, but which should you choose? Let's find out with a key-features comparison of these two subcompact SUVs.
Performance Comparison
The 2020 Honda HR-V runs on a 1.8-liter I4 with 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque with a standard Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). On the other hand, the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is powered by a 2.0-liter flat-four with 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque and a standard six-speed manual transmission. Though it's tempting to be swayed by the higher power numbers, the HR-V has a clear advantage over the Crosstrek with its standard CVT and better fuel efficiency. The Crosstrek can be had with a CVT in upper trims or for an additional cost in the base trims.
Interior Comparison
The differences between these two SUVs become even clearer as you look inside their cabins. Though the HR-V and the Crosstrek are essentially the same size, the HR-V manages to best the Crosstrek in many interior measurements, including rear headroom, rear legroom, and front shoulder room. As far as storage space, the HR-V offers up to 58.8 cubic-feet of cargo space while the Crosstrek only manages 55.3 cubic-feet of cargo space. Additionally, the HR-V has a secret weapon the Crosstrek cannot compete with: the exclusive Honda Magic Seat®.
