How Does the Subaru Forester Compare to the Honda CR-V?
Are you shopping for the right new crossover SUV in Riverhead? The new Subaru Forester lineup offers everything you want in a new crossover SUV and then some.

The Subaru Forester is also a family vehicle, providing you with spacious comfort for five passengers, plus ample cargo space to fit everyone and everything with ease.
We know that buying a new vehicle is a big decision, and we want you to be sure of it. That's why we're going to compare the new Subaru Forester to the Honda CR-V, giving you a side by side look at some of the many things that the Subaru Forester lineup does best, giving you the perspective you need to find out why it's the right vehicle for you today.
Subaru Forester vs. Honda CR-V
Price
The new Subaru Forester lineup makes it easier and more affordable to buy the right vehicle. The new Forester lineup has a starting price of under $30,000, allowing you to enjoy an accommodating and versatile vehicle that fits all your needs for the right price. The new Honda CR-V lineup starts at just over $30,000, meaning you'll have to pay more without receiving more.
Performance
If you want a new crossover SUV that makes getting around Brentwood easier and more enjoyable, the Subaru Forester has everything you need to drive with complete confidence. All the new Subaru Forester models come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, providing you with the utmost traction, handling, and control whether you're driving in the snow and ice, or your adventures take you off the beaten path. The new Honda CR-V lineup features standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive models available, but for a higher price.
Another major draw of the Subaru Forester lineup is its Subaru Boxer engine. The Boxer engine uses horizontally opposed pistons, while the Honda CR-V models have vertically opposed pistons. Because the engine's pistons fire side to side instead of up and down, the engine can be placed lower in the vehicle, resulting in a lower center of gravity and better stability.
Size
You and all your passengers can stretch out and relax on every outing around Smithville in any new Forester model. All the Forester SUVs have 111.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, giving you plenty of rear leg and headroom so everyone can ride comfortably. The new Honda CR-V lineup has 105.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, which could leave your rear passengers feeling a little cramped.
Safety Features
Both the Subaru Forester and the Honda CR-V models come with a full suite of driver assistance features that provide you with peace of mind and better awareness. Only the Subaru Forester comes with standard LED steering responsive headlights that turn with the wheel to help you see better when turning corners.
