2016 Subaru Forester vs 2016 Honda HR-V Design Comparison

The 2016 Subaru Forester and the new Honda HR-V are both particularly well designed vehicles but there are some key differences to consider. You may have noticed that the entry-level 2016 Subaru Forester enters the market with a slightly higher price tag but what does that extra money get? Aside from a level of engineering unique to Subaru, you are getting a larger vehicle. Where the 2016 Subaru Forester is considered a small SUV, the 2016 Honda HR-V is considered a crossover which is essentially a car with a slightly larger body. This means that when you upgrade to a 2016 Subaru Forester, you are getting nearly 10 cubic feet more cargo space inside and almost that much more passenger room. If you have even more cargo to take along, roof rails are standard on all but the entry-level Subaru Forester. You can get a Honda HR-V equipped with roof rails but you will have to get one of the highest trim levels available.

2016 Subaru Forester vs 2016 Honda HR-V Performance Comparison

As big of a design difference as there is between the 2016 Subaru Forester and the 2016 Honda HR-V, the difference in performance is even more apparent. The standard 2.5 liter Boxer engine that comes in the 2016 Subaru Forester provides significantly more power than little 1.8 liter engine found in the 2016 Honda HR-V. You will certainly appreciate the extra power when on a hill or passing slower traffic but what really makes the Subaru Boxer engine remarkable is that it provides all this extra power with very similar fuel economy to the new Honda HR-V. Beyond shear power, the Subaru Forester rises above adversity with 8.7 inches of ground clearance while smoothing out very bump and straightening out every curve with fully independent suspension and a flat Boxer engine providing an exceptionally low center of gravity. You won't find any of this in a Honda HR-V so come see us for a test drive in the new 2016 Subaru Forester at Mike Shaw Subaru serving Westminster, CO.

2016 Subaru Forester vs 2016 Honda HR-V Safety Comparison

Both the 2016 Subaru Forester and the 2016 Honda HR-V are great for new and growing families but no matter what you need your next vehicle for, safety is a key part of the decision. Sure, you'll find modern safety features like traction control, airbags, and anti-lock brakes on both models but there is a lot more to the safety of you and your loved ones than the standard basics. Among the safety features standard in the 2016 Subaru Forester that you won't find in a Honda HR-V is a reinforced ring-shaped frame designed to protect you from impact energy. Perhaps the most significant difference in safety between these two vehicles is the standard symmetrical all wheel drive found in every Subaru Forester. You can upgrade a Honda HR-V to all-wheel drive but this expensive add-on won't perform as well as the legendary Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive and it means you will be paying the same, or even more, for a smaller vehicle that doesn't hold it's value as well. Take the new 2016 Subaru Forester for a test drive with us at Mike Shaw Subaru and discover why Subaru is so well respected in Arvada, CO and throughout the entire state.
