Subaru Forester vs Honda CR-V

Hey there, New Jersey drivers! Are you on the hunt for your next set of wheels? If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to World Subaru, otherwise known as your source near Tinton Falls, Middletown Township, and Long Branch for your choice of vehicles.

We know there’s a lot of variety out there, and that’s why we want to help you narrow it down. We put together this Subaru Forester vs. Honda CR-V comparison, so you can see what both rides have to offer. Read on for more information.

Subaru Forester: Overview

When you hop into the Subaru Forester, there are a lot of features that might catch your eye first-maybe it’s the sleek exterior, the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER 4-cylinder engine under the hood, or the standard Lineartronic CVT (Continually Variable Transmission) with Adaptive Control.

That’s not what stands out most to us, however. When you sit inside, you’re bound to notice the spaciousness. In the Subaru Forester, you’ll have a fabulous amount of room to kick back on the go. This starts with 41.2/39.6 inches of front/rear headroom, 43.3 inches of front legroom, 58.1/57.2 inches of front/rear shoulder room, all of which culminates in an overall passenger volume of 111.6 cubic feet.

Compare: Honda CR-V

In contrast, the Honda CR-V falls behind. For one, its engine is noticeably smaller-a 1.5L 4-cylinder compared to the Subaru’s 2.5L-but it also comes to light when you examine its dimensions.

Whereas you have a lot of space to maneuver in the Subaru, you might feel slightly stuffy in the Honda. The CR-V boasts only 40.1/39.2 inches of front/rear headroom, 41.3 inches of front legroom, and 57.9/55.6 inches of front/rear shoulder room. Likewise, it only has 105.9 cubic feet of overall passenger volume-that’s just about five and a half feet less room than you’d have in the Subaru Forester.

Additional Perks in the Subaru

As we’ve seen thus far, the Subaru is all about checking off boxes you didn’t even know you were looking for. In this model, for example, you’ll find Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) comes standard, as well as an Auto Start-Stop System, instrument cluster with a speedometer and tachometer, and a multifunction display. Compared to the Honda CR-V’s lone standard screen, a 5-inch LCD, the Forester has a few more features to show for itself.

On later trims of the Forester, you can opt for features like Lineartronic CVT (Continually Variable Transmission) with Adaptive Control and 7-speed manual mode, as well as the same system with 8-speed manual mode as an option.
