2018 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2018 Toyota CH-R Design Comparison
One look removes any doubt that either of these small crossover SUV models have an ordinary look. Though, it seems that the design team at Toyota may have gone a little too far with the CH-R while the Subaru Crosstrek maintains a blend of modern, elegant, and soothing design. Aside from the appearance, you'll find that the new Subaru Crosstrek is designed to give you more for your money. It enters the market with a much more affordable price tag, offers over 17 more cubic feet of passenger space, and substantially more cargo volume behind the rear seat. If you need to take even more along for your next journey, the new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek comes standard with roof rails that can accommodate a wide range of cargo accessories. You won't find a roof rack standard on either of the available Toyota CH-R models. When it comes to the crossover SUV that gives you more for your money, the new Subaru Crosstrek is certainly the right choice.
2018 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2018 Toyota CH-R Performance Comparison
While the Toyota may look like it has all kinds of power and performance under its bold skin, the facts don't bear this out with just 144 horsepower from its traditional four-cylinder engine. This is about what you'll find in a small car. The new 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, on the other hand, comes with more power and torque from its flat BOXER® engine. What's more, the flat design of the Subaru engine provides a low center of gravity so you can enjoy precise handling while still getting over rough patches with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Perhaps even more importantly, every Subaru Crosstrek model comes equipped with the world-renowned traction of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. You won't find this level of traction in any Toyota CH-R model.
2018 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2018 Toyota CH-R Safety Comparison
Today's roadways are more crowded than ever, and with so many drivers seeming more involved in their mobile devices than paying attention to the road, safety is a critical part of your next new vehicle decision. The standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive in the new 2018 Crosstrek gives it a clear safety advantage over the new Toyota CH-R which is only available as a two-wheel drive vehicle. In fact, the Subaru Crosstrek is a great example of the importance its engineers place on safety. This award-winning crossover has earned top industry safety scores every year that it's been available. What's more, available features like LED steering-responsive headlights, reverse automatic braking, and automatic collision notification are just a few of the advanced safety features you can get in a new Subaru, but not the Toyota CH-R. With these advantages and others, there's just no reason to pay more for the smaller Toyota. Come see us at Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton to find out more.
