At Gillman Subaru San Antonio, we're always happy to see the competition
step up its game. It gives our customers something to think about, and
gives us an opportunity to brag about how good Subaru SUVs are. Case in
point: compare the
2021 Subaru Forester
against the 2021 Hyundai Tucson. Both have been around for a while, and
have seen their share of changes over the years, but the
new Subaru SUV
takes the crown time and time again.
Performance
The 2021 Subaru Forester has one engine, a 182 horsepower four-cylinder boxer. That's one more horse than you'll find in the Hyundai Tucson upgrade engine, and a paddock's worth -18 horsepower - more than the Hyundai SUV's base model.
That's not the only plus for the Subaru model; where the Hyundai Tucson
offers optional AWD for a price, Symmetrical All-wheel Drive is standard on
the Subaru Forester.
Capacities and Capabilities
Both of these SUVs can tow up to 1,500 pounds, but when it comes to carrying capacity, the Subaru Forester pulls ahead. It starts with 35.4 cubic feet behind the second row, and can stow 76.1 cubic feet with the seats down. For the Hyundai Tucson, those numbers are only 31 and 61.9 cubic feet respectively.
It's not just your luggage that gets more space; the Subaru Forester offers
a generous 11.9 cubic feet of passenger space versus 102.2 cubic feet for
the Hyundai Tucson.
Safety
Both of our contenders come with a long list of standard safety features,
including lane keep assist and forward collision assist. But even when
something does the same thing in theory, how it's implemented in practice
matters; that's why the Hyundai Tucson earns an IIHS Top Safety Pick, but
the Subaru Forester takes it up a notch with EyeSight™ driver-assist aids
that earn a Top Safety Pick Plus just like many other models at our
Subaru dealership near San Antonio
. Besides, our model offers active cruise control standard (it's optional
on theirs), and reverse automatic braking (which they don't offer at all).
Our Pick (and Probably Yours): 2021 Subaru Forester
The Hyundai Tucson is by no means a bad SUV. But when you put them head to head, the Subaru Forester is just that much better. So visit Gillman Subaru San Antonio and try it out for yourself. If you like what you see - and we suspect you will - we'll be here with Subaru lease deals , parts, service, and everything else for everywhere your new vehicle takes you.
