Toyota RAV4 vs. Subaru Forester

 

Crossover SUVs are extremely popular because they can provide drivers with the comfort and style they want, while still getting great fuel economy and a reasonable price tag. If you are in the market for one of these vehicles, you will likely have heard of the Toyota RAV4 and the Subaru Forester since they are both very popular options. Let’s compare these two great vehicles to see which one will work best for you.

Driving Performance

Both of these vehicles will provide you with plenty of power and acceleration to keep the drive comfortable and fun. If performance is a key factor for you, the RAV4 does have more horsepower (204hp) than the Forester (182) and slightly more torque (184 vs 176). Both vehicles have automatic transmissions that will shift at just the right moments to give you the control you need in any situation.

Safety Features

Depending on which model year you choose, you will get great features like lane assist, blind-spot warning, and adaptive cruise control on both vehicles. Newer model years of the Toyota RAV4 do have a nice traffic sign recognition system that can help to make driving even safer (and easier).

Technology and Entertainment

The Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester both have great overall tech and infotainment features. You can connect your Bluetooth devices to either vehicle to play your own music in their quality sounds systems. The Forester has a 6.5-inch touch screen that allows you to control many different aspects of the vehicle.
