Read on to learn more, then be sure to visit Mike Shaw Subaru for a test drive.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Honda HR-V: Design

Both of these models offer similar features, if not quite different base designs. The Crosstrek offers a slightly updated, more modern design with unique alloy wheels and orange stitching throughout the cabin, while the HR-V sticks with a more traditional SUV look. Both vehicles also offer standard touchscreen infotainment systems, but the 2017 Crosstrek comes with fog lights and roof rails standard and you'll have to pay extra to get these features on the HR-V.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Honda HR-V: Performance

Subaru and Honda are both known for dependable performance, but the 2017 Crosstrek takes this category as well thanks in part to higher standard torque and slightly more horsepower. But what really sets the Crosstrek apart here is the Subaru BOXER engine. The BOXER engine lies flat in the Subaru in order to drastically lower the vehicle's center of gravity. This results in a smoother, more comfortable ride and better handling and control. Both the Crosstrek and the HR-V offer similar efficiency, but the 2017 Crosstrek does it with all-wheel drive standard, whereas you'll have to pay extra to get all-wheel drive on the Honda and that will drop its MPG.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2017 Honda HR-V: Safety

Subaru is known worldwide for its incredibly safe vehicles, and the engineering behind the 2017 Crosstrek helps it win this category as well. Both models come with the safety features you'd expect on a modern vehicle, like traction control and rearview cameras, but the Crosstrek takes it a step further. Subaru has perfected the ring-shaped reinforcement frame so that it's stronger than ever and directs crash-force energy around the passenger compartment. But, to avoid accidents altogether, Subaru has also made the EyeSight driver assistance suite of technologies, including adaptive cruise control, available on the Crosstrek, while you won't find these features on the HR-V.
