Compare Subaru to Hyundai

Why Subaru Tops the Hyundai Brand in Several Ways

Whenever you're shopping for your next vehicle to use around Mount Pleasant, Hanahan and Summerville, you'll want to make sure to research plenty of options. But you'll also want to understand what the brand you're choosing is all about in more ways than just the cars they deliver. That's why we're showing how Subaru compares to Hyundai, one of its closest competitors. Both automakers bring affordable and family-friendly vehicles from East Asia, and Subaru and Hyundai tend to carry a sense of appeal for youthful drivers, even though they work great for far more mature travelers as well. But as you'll be able to tell, Subaru is the brand to stick with or turn to when it comes to your family's next cars and crossovers, so visit our Charleston, SC Subaru dealership today to learn more.



 

Subaru Safety is Second to None

You can't find a single car brand these days that isn't touting its own unique set of safety technology. Simply put, safety is the kind of quality drivers wisely pay attention to, and it comes as little surprise that Subaru ranks highly when it comes to keeping you out of harm's way. Subaru best Hyundai in a number of ways in terms of safety. First of all, this is a brand that equips practically every model - save for the sporty BRZ coupe that uses rear-wheel drive - with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which is useful when driving through all kinds of rough weather. That standard AWD system for small cars like the Impreza, WRX and Legacy really stands out, as you won't find similar small sedans and hatchbacks from Hyundai with the same level of traction and control, while you'll have to spend more for any Hyundai SUV to add AWD to the mix.

Both brands use high-end safety technology, but you'll find it's with the Subaru EyeSight suite that sets you up better for avoiding collisions, staying in your lane and watching your blind-spots. There's a tricky line to toe with these alerts and warnings, as you don't want them too intrusive during your Charleston and Goose Creek area travels, but still want that added confidence knowing cameras, radars and sensors are watching out for you.

Subaru is Dedicated to Pets, Family and the Environment

On top of the high-end technology for safety, infotainment and convenience that this brand does better than others in the West Ashley and Summerville areas, understanding what Subaru represents as a car brand is also important. If you have dogs, cats or other four-legged, furry friends regularly joining you for your travels around Goose Creek and Hanahan, you'll appreciate that Subaru is considered one of the pet-friendliest brands. And, of course, you know this is a brand dedicated to the environment, with regular efforts for eco-friendly manufacturing practices, as well as charitable causes supporting green-friendly initiatives.

That environmental focus also comes into play with many new Subaru models showcasing outdoorsy styling and the features and equipment to match. The likes of the new Outback, Forester, Crosstrek and others will be perfect for drivers from the Charleston area who love getting out and exploring and enjoying nature. While we're sure Subaru's close competitor has vehicles designed for camping and outdoors adventures, Hyundai simply doesn't make that a compelling part of their branding.

 

Finally, Subaru brings its pet-friendliness and environmentally awareness to its models along with a sense of family. Both by making incredibly safe and well-connected vehicles, and due to the long-lasting and durable nature of any Subaru, it's easy to pass down a current Legacy, Ascent or Outback to your younger drivers in your family when you're seeking an upgrade for yourself here in Charleston.
