2020 Subaru Forester vs. 2020 Honda CR-V
The 2020 Subaru Forester shines in terms of its exterior style despite the common box-like design of almost all of Subaru production. It looks rugged and ready for an exceptional off-road experience whereas its interior provides a substantial amount of room which is adequate for both passengers and cargo.
The 2020 Honda CR-V runs on a 1.5L turbo-4 engine that allows sufficient acceleration for smooth rides. It is designed to cruise on highways at 8.7 in off the ground with an all-wheel drive. Its interior is a little awkwardly-shaped though with a center console that eats into its passenger space.
Design & Style
The 2020 Subaru Forester has not witnessed much changes from its predecessor which is much appreciated by users due to its already outstanding features within. Its interior is reviewed as being neat with headlights that are swept to the back on the fenders with a new sharper front. Its exterior trims that are colored create that sporty outlook when accompanied with its unique wheels.
The 2020 Honda CR-V sees slight changes than the previous year’s model with minor alterations to its front and rear bumpers. From an overall perspective, its objective is to create a more conservative and safer outlook which also applies to its interior. Its front now sees a lighter shade of chrome which is a faint contrast against its 18-inch wheels making it look relatively reserved.
Technology & Safety
The 2020 Subaru Forester is deemed as the safer choice with exceptionally high crash test scores and advanced safety features. It has the standard auto emergency brakes, forward cameras, and cruise and active lane controls. For infotainment, it is equipped with a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple/Android compatibility.
The 2020 Honda CR-V offers standard safety features such as front-crash prevention, and overall high crash test scores. It is equipped with a 5-inch infotainment display, a single USB port with Bluetooth connectivity.
Performance
The 2020 Subaru Forester is powered by a flat-4 engine that produces 182 horsepower on an all-wheel drive through an automatic continuous variable transmission.
The 2020 Honda CR-V runs on a 1.5L turbo-4 engine with good fuel efficiency. Its powertrain produces 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque on an automatic continuous variable transmission either on a front-wheel drive or a four-wheel drive.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Subaru Forester boasts a sportier outlook and is rated as exceptionally safe based on its crash test scores and safety features. Its performance in comparison against its predecessors has not wavered and still provides a smooth ride each time. The 2020 Honda CR-V is pretty reserved on its exterior and performs relatively similar to a Forester with a lack of tech features.
