In the market as crowded as the crossover segment, it can be difficult trying to decide which one is right for you; especially when two of those options are the Forester and the Outback. These two crossovers sit atop the market as two reliable, safe, and highly capable models, so which Subaru model is right for you? In today's blog post we will highlight some clear differences and advantages of both crossovers in an effort to help you determine which one you should drive home.
What Are the Differences Between the Subaru Outback and the Forester?
One of the major differences between the 2017 Subaru Outback and the 2017 Subaru Forester is the size. The Outback is classified as a midsize crossover, whereas the Forester is considered a compact crossover. The Outback is nearly nine-inches longer and offers more interior space than the Forester; 108.1 cubic-feet of total passenger space compared to 103.3 cubic feet. With more passenger space, the Outback comfortably fits your children and your gear. With the size and dimensions of the Forester's trunk, you will have the perfect amount of space for both your four-legged friends and your gear.
One of the other major differences is the price. The Outback is priced about $2,000 more than the Forester, respectively. The reason for that is because of the Outback's size. The Outback also features more standard equipment, such as the SUBARU STARLINK system and a 6.2-inch touchscreen display. It should be noted that these features are still available on the Forester.
That all being said, if you're searching for a family vehicle, we think the Outback makes for the better option as it resembles a wagon. However, if you're the active type with a four-legged friend or two, we think the 2017 Subaru Forester may be the more desirable option; as it's sportier with nimble-handling. Whichever Subaru you choose, you can feel confident knowing that both models were built with reliability, longevity and performance in mind.
