Forester Hybrid vs the Competition
The New Forester Hybrid vs. the Competition
The wait is over. The all-new Subaru Forester Hybrid is here, offering an eco-friendly alternative to one of our most popular two-row SUVs. But how does it compare to vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid, which have been leaders in the compact SUV segment for years? Find out why the Subaru Forester Hybrid ranks number one by scheduling a test drive with our team at Gengras Subaru Torrington.
Hybrid Performance, Range & Capabilities
The new Forester Hybrid has an innovative new mild hybrid engine. It combines the power of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine with a continuously variable transmission, aided by a pair of electric motors. Like all Subaru SUVs, the hybrid variant of the Forester comes standard with symmetrical all-wheel drive. Competitors like the Honda CR-V don't offer standard all-wheel drive.
The efficiency of the new hybrid setup in the Forester Hybrid is so exceptional that you can travel up to 581 miles on a single tank of gas, which is further than the RAV4 Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid all-wheel drive models.
Another Subaru staple you'll find in the new Forester Hybrid is an enhanced ground clearance of 8.7 inches, more than the RAV4 and Honda CR-V, which means better capabilities and the ability to have a better handle on light off-roading.
Interior & Exterior Features
The new Forester Hybrid is completely refreshed this year, offering an updated style and many practical and convenient features. On the exterior are standard roof rails, LED lighting, and attractive wheel designs. Owners will enjoy handy features like the available hands-free power liftgate. Competitors like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V fail to offer the same number of incredible features.
Inside, there is more space for your rear passengers in the Forester Hybrid than in the RAV4 or Honda CR-V Hybrid. Although the cargo area is slightly smaller than the Honda CR-V, the Forester Hybrid offers more front and rear legroom than both competitors.
Advanced Technology & Safety Features
Compared to the RAV4 Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid, the new Forester Hybrid has better technology features and significant updates. Every model, regardless of trim level, has a large, 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen that is a big upgrade compared to the RAV4 Hybrid's 8.0-inch and the Honda CR-V Hybrid's 7.0-inch standard touchscreen. While all newer models provide hands-free conveniences, the infotainment system in the Forester Hybrid is purposely designed for easy use and less distraction.
