Compact crossovers are a hot commodity for New Hampshire drivers, but which small SUV is the best choice? Look at the 2023 Subaru Forester and compare it head-to-head against a competitor in the Honda CR-V. We can't wait to show off our new Subaru Forester selection at Milford Subaru.
If Wilton shoppers want to save more money, they should choose a new Subaru Forester with a $26,395 MSRP. The Honda CR-V counters at $31,610, and there's no off-road model like the Subaru Forester Wilderness Edition, which has an affordable price tag of $34,020.
At 3,000 pounds, the Subaru Forester doubles the Honda CR-V's max towing rating. One engine, a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4, powers the Honda CR-V, producing 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. That's only a bit higher than the Forester, which relies on a 2.5-liter flat-4 Subaru BOXER® engine to achieve 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque.
Manchester motorists get a far better grip on New Hampshire roads driving a Subaru Forester, thanks to its Enhanced Dual-Function Subaru X-Mode®, standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and Subaru Intelligent Drive Management System. The Honda CR-V offers no comparable system.
Honda's SUV earns 27/32 (city/highway) mpg with AWD, while the Subaru Forester has fuel economy ratings of 26/33.
With only 7.8 inches of ground clearance, it's difficult for Milford motorists to clear obstacles in the Honda CR-V. Have an edge on any New England terrain with the Subaru Forester's 8.7 inches of ground clearance, extending to 9.2 inches with the Wilderness Edition.
These SUVs have similar storage measurements. Honda's SUV expands from 39.2 to 75.8 cubic feet, while Subaru's SUV has a 51.3-inch cargo hatch opening and 76.1 cubic feet of max cargo volume.
Honda Sensing® and Subaru EyeSight® match several driver-assists, but the Forester takes the lead thanks to more connected services, offering Nashua drivers more peace of mind. Those features are seen with Subaru STARLINK® Safety and Security. The Forester, an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and an IIHS Superior Front Crash Prevention award winner, also features the Subaru DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System.
