Compare the Subaru Forester to the Competitors
2026 Subaru Forester vs. Toyota RAV4 vs. Honda CR-V
Are you in the market for a compact, versatile SUV in Haverhill, MA? At AutoFair Subaru, we think you will love the 2026 Subaru Forester. But how does it compare to models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V? Keep reading to find out.
Performance
The Forester's 182-horsepower engine pairs with Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which provides exceptional traction no matter the weather in Methuen. The RAV4 and CR-V both relegate all-wheel drive to the available features lineup, so you have to pay extra for it.
Technology
All Forester models above the Base trim get an 11.6-inch central touchscreen. This is larger and easier to access than the nine-inch display found on every Honda CR-V, or the 10.5-inch touchscreen found on most Toyota RAV4 models.
Capability
The Forester Wilderness trim is ready to tackle the toughest conditions and trails you will find near North Andover. With all-terrain tires, 9.3 inches of ground clearance (up from an already impressive 8.7 inches for the rest of the Forester lineup), and a skid plate. The Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V offer trims with all-terrain tires, but otherwise can't match the off-road prowess of the Wilderness.
The Verdict
If you want a compact crossover in Lawrence, MA, with outstanding capability and off-roading performance, it's hard to beat the Subaru Forester. To schedule a test drive, contact AutoFair Subaru today.
