Subaru Forester vs Honda CRV

Why Connecticut Drivers Should Choose the 2025 Subaru Forester over the Honda CR-V

New England drivers need a vehicle to handle all life's adventures. That's why the Subaru Forester is the best choice if you are looking for a capable SUV that can fit family, friends, and all your gear while providing you with a comfortable ride filled with modern conveniences. Our team compares the new Forester with a tough competitor, the Honda CR-V, to dig into the details and find out which is best for you.

Safety

Every 2025 Subaru Forester comes equipped with a sophisticated suite of driver assistance and safety alert aids as part of the award-winning Subaru EyeSight® technology. Standard features include automated emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control to make every drive a safer and more pleasant experience.

Cargo

Despite the larger exterior dimensions of the newest Honda CR-V, the Subaru Forester offers more headroom and cargo space thanks to smart interior design and a priority on practical solutions. The 2025 Forester also has a foot-activated hands-free power liftgate as an available option for added convenience. Adults will feel more comfortable, and you'll be able to stow more gear for spur-of-the-moment adventures in the 2025 Subaru Forester.

Technology

Regarding modern amenities, the 2025 Subaru Forester delivers top-of-the-line upgraded tech practically designed for safe operation on the road. A large 11.6-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone charger comes standard on all but the base Forester and easily outclasses the standard 7.0-inch touchscreen in the Honda CR-V.

Ground Clearance

The 2025 Subaru Forester has more ground clearance than the Honda CR-V. With standard symmetrical all-wheel drive and higher ground clearance of up to 8.7 inches, the Forester can easily tackle more challenging terrain and deeply rutted trails. The Honda CR-V has a lower ground clearance of 7.8 inches, or you can pay extra to get up to 8.2 inches on certain models. Go further and do more with confidence in the Subaru Forester.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

All Subaru Forester models come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive so that you can confidently tackle New England roads no matter the season. Although the Honda CR-V can come equipped with its all-wheel drive version, you'll have to pay more to add it on or upgrade to a more expensive trim level, as front-wheel drive is standard on most models.
