Toyota RAV4 vs Subaru Outback

Performance Features and Engine Specs

Something these SUVs have in common is that they’re both crossover models, which means they provide you with the interior cabin space of an SUV, and the performance and easy handling of a smaller car like a sedan.

To get started, we’ll head right under the hood and check out what powers them.

The 2020 RAV4 comes equipped with a standard 2.5-liter Dynamic Force 4-Cylinder engine, which puts out 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque capability. The standard 2.5-liter DOHC engine found in the 2020 Outback on the other hand, falls a bit short putting out just 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque capability.

With the RAV4, there’s an available Multi-terrain Select system, which allows you to toggle between MUD & SAND, ROCK & DIRT, SNOW, and NORMAL modes, depending on the terrain you’re traveling over, which ensure you’ll have maximum stability and traction control in various situations. The Outback doesn’t offer a similar system.

The Verdict: 2020 Toyota RAV4 vs 2020 Subaru Outback

While both vehicles may be a decent choice for your travels around the Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, Ormond Beach, and New Smyrna, Florida, area, it’s clear the 2020 Toyota RAV4 outperforms the 2020 Subaru Outback in crucial categories including performance and interior cabin space.
