How Does the Subaru Outback Compare to Its Competition?
Our goal, here at Garcia Subaru North, is to help you find a vehicle. While that might seem self-explanatory, we pride ourselves on achieving that goal. We know we are not just helping you find a car -- we are helping you find a driving option that matches your personality; we are helping you find a car that speaks to you in a personal way.
We do not take that job lightly, either. Our goal is always to ensure that we match you with a vehicle that complements your needs, and your lifestyle. We know that drivers want something different from their driving experience. Whether you just want a car for day-to-day errands and travel, or if you are looking for a vehicle that is ready to take on the challenging terrains and climates of the open road, our team in Albuquerque can help you!
One of the ways we like to help our customers is by comparing some of our most popular models to their competitors. This does twofold: it allows you to see the inherent differences between these vehicles, and it helps you with your purchasing decision, as you can decide which features, or factors, are more important to you.
So how does a vehicle like the Subaru Outback compare to one of its competitors -- the Nissan Murano?
2017 Subaru Outback vs. 2017 Nissan Murano
Cost to Own
The first thing many of our customers glance at, or inquire about, when they come to our location is the price tag associated with the vehicle. You are a frugal shopper -- you want to be sure you are getting the most bang for your buck.
This is where we see our first difference between these two vehicles. The Subaru Outback is much more affordable, by a sizable margin. While the 2017 Nissan Murano has a Total MSRP of $29,770, the Subaru Outback goes for $26,520. Therefore, already, you can see that you can save a decent amount of money before you even drive the vehicle off the lot.
But what comes with these vehicles? How many features do you get for the money you pay?
Standard Features
This is another difference we see between these two vehicles. While the Nissan Murano offers slightly better horsepower -- 260, compared to the Outback's 175 horsepower -- the Subaru Outback offers you a plethora of incredible features that are not standard on the Nissan Murano, and better overall performance on the road.
For instance, the Subaru Outback provides you with standard all-wheel drive, better fuel economy (32 highway mpg with the Outback; 28 highway mpg with the Murano), better towing capacity (2700 pounds, as compared to the Murano's 1500 pounds), and more cargo volume (35.5 cubic feet, compared to the Murano's 32.1 cubic feet).
The Verdict
So what does this all mean? Well, if you are looking for more bang for your buck, then the Subaru Outback would be your best choice due to its incredible array of standard features, high quality performance, and substantially more affordable price.
This also does not take into account the durable design, and the renowned safety features, that come with the Subaru Outback.
