2019 Subaru Forester vs. 2019 Honda CR-V
The fully redesigned 2019 Subaru Forester has landed the top spot among compact SUVs. It has also garnered great safety scores from industry experts.
Meanwhile, the 2019 Honda CR-V decided not to include major changes in this model, but it promises great fuel economy estimates, immense cargo hold, and generous cargo space.
Design & Style
Seating up to five adults in its two-row spacious interior, the 2019 Subaru Forester delivers in terms of design and style. This all-wheel drive presents a lot of premium quality materials inside, with soft materials accentuating a lot of its interior elements. If you opt for higher trim levels, you will enjoy even a lot more in this department.
Praised for its nice interiors, the 2019 Honda CR-V features modern elements, and quality soft-touch materials in its cabin. Like the Forester, you can expect more if you invest in more advanced trim levels for this car model. Nonetheless, despite that effort to stay classy, it is still defeated by the Forester in terms of overall look, especially because it had not incorporated any major change in this update.
Technology & Safety
Carrying with it a four-speaker audio, HD radio, Bluetooth interface, two USB ports, and a Bluetooth interface, the 2019 Subaru Forester really impresses when it comes to technology features. It has been equipped with the intuitive StarLink infotainment system which depends on the 6.5-inch touchscreen display to get all functions done. It also integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Equipped with the EyeSight safety suite, it includes lane departure warning, lane change assist, and adaptive cruise control among its list of driver aids.
In the case of the 2019 Honda CR-V, you get only a few features to enjoy. It merely has four speakers, a USB port, a Bluetooth interface, and a 5-inch audio display screen. Other features require additional investment. For safety, only a rearview camera comes standard in this vehicle.
