See How the Subaru Forester Compares to the Honda CR-V in Houston, TX

If you're shopping for a vehicle, you may wonder how the model you're thinking about getting compares to its rivals. Drivers who are considering buying or leasing a Subaru Forester will be happy to know that the SUV compares favorably to the Honda CR-V, with the Subaru Forester outshining its worthy competitor in some key areas.

Ground Clearance

Drivers searching for new cars in Pearland, TX are encouraged to take the short trip over to our location to see our inventory of the latest Subaru cars . When you do, we'll explain that the Subaru Forester is more prepared for off-road duty than the Honda CR-V is.

The Subaru Forester has 8.7 inches of ground clearance while the new Honda CR-V only has a comparatively scant 7.8 inches of ground clearance. That nearly one-inch difference may not seem like much, but it you're a seasoned off-roader then you know that variance can be the difference between reaching a remote location or failing to do so.

Drivetrain

It's not every day that you'll find a compact SUV that comes with all-wheel drive, but you'll have succeeded in that quest when you view the Subaru Forester at our Houston, TX Subaru dealership . Every new Subaru Forester has standard AWD. Front-wheel drive is the default drivetrain for most Honda CR-V trims, although AWD is available as an option for an additional fee. It's worth noting that the Honda SUV's Touring model is the only Honda CR-V trim that has standard all-wheel drive.
