Luxury-Vehicles From Audi & Volvo Struggle To Keep Up with the 2020 Subaru Outback

When you are shopping around for a crossover SUV model in today's marketplace, there are indeed many varying factors to consider. With such a wide range of price points, automakers, driving characteristics, desirable features, and exterior designs to choose from, it certainly can be quite tough to decide which make and model is the best one for your needs.

However, one vehicle in particular that has a real knack for standing out from the crowd of competitors is none other than the 2020 Subaru Outback, and for very good reason. Even when you closely compare it to rival models coming from luxurious and exotic brands like the Audi Q5 or Volvo XC60, the new Outback always holds its own surprisingly well.

For many of our customers living in Natick, Boston, Belmont, Norwood, and beyond, the new Subaru Outback does a lot more than simply 'holding its own'. This very well could be the crossover SUV that you have been waiting for, and it is a far better choice than both the competing 2020 Audi Q5 as well as the 2020 Volvo XC60 SUV models! Keep reading to learn why.

2020 Subaru Outback vs. 2020 Volvo XC60

• Pricing for the 2020 Volvo XC60 is expensive and loaded with features, but comes with a starting price that is just under $40,000. The new Outback's extremely competitive starting price will keep a good $13K or so in your bank account.
• In true Subaru fashion, even the base trim-level of the new Outback comes equipped with the brand's capable and proven Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System. While the new Volvo XC60 does indeed offer AWD, it fails to include it as a standard feature. The Subaru Outback is the ideal companion for drivers who brave the Massachusetts winter months.
• If you prioritize your fuel economy while driving around the greater Boston area, you'll choose the 2020 Subaru Outback that boasts a fantastic EPA-estimated rating of 26/33 city/highway mpg. Drivers have to pay more at the gas pump with the Volvo XC60, that earned a lesser 22/28 city/highway mpg rating with front-wheel drive.

2020 Subaru Outback vs. 2020 Audi Q5

• When comparing price tags, it is not even close for the new Outback and the new Q5. Subaru likes to keep things more affordable, as the 2020 Outback has a price tag starting just below the attractive $27,000 mark, while the 2020 Audi Q5 is way on the other end of the spectrum, beginning right around the $43,000 price point.
• Let's talk cargo capacities because that indeed is important to shoppers in this segment. The new Q5 offers 53.1 cubic feet of interior cargo space, which is decent, yet it still doesn't come close to the whopping 73.7 cubic feet belonging to the new Outback. That's a really big difference in size to sacrifice.
• The automotive experts over at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) officially awarded the new Subaru Outback with a 2020 Top Safety Pick+ Award, the highest honor they have. Unfortunately for Audi-fans, the 2020 Q5 was not able to win this award from the IIHS.
