The 2022 Subaru WRX in Albuquerque, NM is Redesigned and Still Shines!

 

Well, it's about time for you to get a new car. With so many makes and models to choose from, how do you decide which one is best for you and your family? At Fiesta Subaru, our goal is to make the vehicle shopping, purchasing, and owning process as effortless and exciting as possible for every customer in the Santa Fe metropolitan area and beyond. So, how do we do this exactly?

 

In addition to having dedicated service center professionals and finance associates who are experts at number-crunching, we also have an excellent lineup of brand-new Subaru vehicles and a varied assortment of used autos from which you can choose. And our friendly, knowledgeable sales associates will never make you feel pressured. Armed with this information, let's see what else makes Subaru a great choice. 

 

Choosing a New Vehicle

 

The crossover (CUV) has been gaining in popularity for some time now, with the Subaru Outback delivering crossover appeal way before crossovers were even a concept. What's more, it continues to strike a balance between midsize SUV and station wagon in the newest version. Adaptive LED headlights that turn with the vehicle to keep the road well-lit are now standard across all trims, and additional seat belt alerts and a rear-seat reminder have also been added to the safety features. 


A top rival to the 2022 Outback is the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe. Therefore, a comparison is in order. Compared to the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe near Santa Fe, NM (and other competitors), the Subaru Outback wins in the safety department. Subaru's entire lineup are the only autos to have the whole collection achieve the Top Safety Pick/Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS (Insurance Institute of Highway Safety). This impressive safety statistic makes Subaru one of the safest manufacturers that area drivers can choose. You won't find the Santa Fe on that IIHS list. Additionally, the Outback offers Reverse Automatic Braking and DriverFocus™ Distraction Mitigation System, which the Santa Fe cannot match. 

 

Exteriors: 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe near Santa Fe, NM vs. 2022 Subaru Outback

 

Both the Santa Fe and the Outback are classed as compact 4-door SUVs, but the Outback has a unique style all its own. The Santa Fe is good-looking, but it also looks similar to many other vehicles in this segment. The Outback is slightly longer but has a tad shorter wheelbase and can make tighter turns than the Santa Fe. You'll also get slightly more ground clearance with the Outback (even more on Wilderness edition) making for better off-road adventures. 

 

Standard equipment on the Outback includes 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and the above-mentioned adaptive LED headlamps. The Santa Fe wears 18-inch alloy wheels but offers only non-adaptive headlights, and roof rails are only available on the upper trim levels. Moreover, the Outback comes with rugged body cladding to ensure durability for miles to come. 

 

Comparing Interiors

 

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe near Santa Fe, NM, and the 2022 Subaru Outback are roomy and can fit five passengers. Both offer more than 40 inches of front and rear legroom, over 30 cubic feet of cargo space, and more than 70 cubic feet with the back seat folded down. However, you'll want to check this out in person or via video since the Outback's cargo space is much more useable and easily accessed. Both autos offer a central infotainment touchscreen, cloth seating, and multiple USB ports. The base Outback also boasts automatic climate control, while the base Santa Fe only offers manual controls. 

 

And One More Thing

 

All Outback models are standard equipped with Subaru's famous Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive, which is a full-time system around which the vehicle is built from the ground up. This feature is notable because even though the Santa Fe offers AWD as an option, it's a part-time AWD added onto a front-wheel-drive platform. Furthermore, the Outback is rated at an estimated 33 mpg highway/26 mpg city, which is slightly better than the Santa Fe's 28 highway mpg. However, the Santa Fe's highway rating drops to 25 mpg when equipped with AWD!

 

In Conclusion

 

If go-anywhere good looks, excellent rough-weather capabilities, and savings at the pump are on your "must-haves" list, then you're hopefully now considering the 2022 Subaru Outback as your next new vehicle! Stop by or call ahead to test drive the Outback to see for yourself just how great this crossover is. We're located just a short drive away at 8100 Lomas Blvd in Albuquerque, and we can't wait to show you this car!
