How Does the Design of the New 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Compare to the 2018 Honda HR-V?
The design of your next new crossover SUV is about more than the appearance, it's about what you're getting for the money. Subaru and Honda are well-known for their value, but which crossover is better designed for the Denver Metro area? You'll find a roof rack standard on every Subaru Crosstrek that lets you carry a wide variety of cargo on any adventure. However, you'll have to pay extra for a roof rack on a new Honda HR-V. Inside, you'll find a much larger color touchscreen infotainment system in the new Subaru Crosstrek. What's more, the Subaru Crosstrek offers greater passenger space than the new Honda HR-V. This is just a preview of how the Subaru Crosstrek is designed to give you more for your money, so come see us at Mike Shaw Subaru and find out more.

How Does the Performance of the New 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Compare to the 2018 Honda HR-V?
When it comes to performance, the new Subaru Crosstrek clearly pulls ahead of the Honda HR-V. While the Subaru Crosstrek does come standard with a power advantage, it's how this unique crossover makes and delivers its power that puts it in a higher league than the Honda HR-V. Under the hood of every Subaru Crosstrek, you'll find the renowned BOXER® engine that sits flat in the frame for a lower center of gravity that greatly improves handling and comfort. The Subaru Crosstrek also sends its power to every wheel through the legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System that provides exceptional traction no matter what the driving surface looks like. The Honda HR-V comes with a less-powerful traditional engine, and you'll have to pay substantially more to upgrade it to all-wheel drive.

How Does the Safety of the New 2018 Subaru Crosstrek Compare to the 2018 Honda HR-V?
The roads throughout the Colorado Front Range are no place to gamble with your safety. The new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2018 Honda HR-V are recognized as safe thanks to modern features we expect like airbags, traction control, and antilock brakes. However, when independent industry authorities tested the safety of these crossover SUVs, the results were clear. The new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek achieved high scores across the board to earn the prestigious 2018 IIHS Top Safety Pick, which is an award the Honda HR-V didn't get. In fact, the Subaru Crosstrek can help you avoid danger completely with the available EyeSight® driver assist technology where the Honda HR-V isn't available with such safety features.
Why is a New Subaru Great for Getting Around the Colorado Front Range?
Subaru is one of the most popular vehicles for mountainous areas, and there are a lot of good reasons for this. Not only do Subaru models continue to earn high industry recognition for value, low cost-to-own, and safety, nearly all Subaru models come standard with the world-famous traction of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Every model also comes with the flat BOXER® engine and fully independent suspension for a driving experience that rivals far more expensive vehicles. Inside, the standard STARLINK™ infotainment system makes every drive more enjoyable, and this is just the beginning of the advantages that come with a new Subaru.
