The 2019 Subaru Forester
For the 2019 year, the Subaru Forester receives a complete redesign. With the redesign comes a more powerful engine, extra space for the cabin, and various technology, comfort, and safety features. While you might not want to head deep into the woods or the forest, the Forester does offer off-road capability that can take you off the beaten path. With the redesign also comes a reworked dashboard and infotainment interface. When you have friends and family tag along on your journeys, everyone will feel connected and engaged during your trip.
The Forester is a five-passenger compact crossover SUV that is available in five separate trim levels. Each trim comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission and comes in all-wheel drive. There are countless features spread across each trim level. In addition to the five trims, drivers can choose to equip their ride with a variety of packages.
With comfortable seats that come well-padded, you and your passengers won't have any trouble getting cozy during those long road trips. In fact, the cabin of the Subaru Forester is one of its finest accomplishments. It combines user-friendly with comfort and the combinations makes passengers feel as if they're in a luxury ride.
The 2019 Mazda CX-3
The 2019 Mazda CX-3 receives various updates for the 2019 year. For instance, advanced safety features are now available for each trim level. On top of that, it receives mild styling updates as well. The Mazda CX-3 is offered in three distinct trim levels: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. Each trim comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 148 hp and 146 lb-ft of torque. The engine comes paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive is standard. However, unlike the Subaru Forester, the Mazda CX-3 also offers all-wheel drive as an option.
Although the CX-3 only offers three trim levels, it does provide several packages you can choose from which allow drivers to better customize their ride. On the inside, the Mazda CX-3 offer a stylish, comfortable cabin that all occupants will enjoy. The spacious cabin also provides several technology options when it comes to the infotainment center. Although the CX-3 comes with a variety of tech options, it lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
How Can You Choose?
While both the 2019 Forester and the 2019 CX-3 bring much to the table, we feel strongly that the Subaru Forester stands out. For starters, the 2019 Forester offers a complete redesign while the 2019 CX-3 does not. This means that you're more likely to get updated features with the Forester than with the CX-3. For those concerned with entertainment options, it's important to note that while the CX-3 lacks Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, the Forester does not. Although the Forester lacks front-wheel drive, we still feel that with all the other amenities offered, the Forester is the better choice.
