If you’re shopping for a crossover SUV that is as comfortable taking you to work in Silver Spring as it is blazing new off-road trails, you’re likely to come across the 2022 Subaru Forester. With its stunning combination of advanced technology, standard all-wheel drive, and cutting-edge safety features, the 2022 Subaru Forester is a cut above.
Savvy buyers will likely want to compare it to models like the 2022 Toyota RAV4. Here is a head-to-head look.
Ride and Handling
One of the biggest strengths of the 2022 Subaru Forester is its confident ride and handling, which is anchored by the standard Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system. This innovative system gives you the traction and stability needed to excel in almost any environment or weather condition. While the Toyota RAV4 has an all-wheel-drive system available, it comes at an extra cost.
The SUV’s off-road prowess is also enhanced by its 9.2 inches of ground clearance, which allows you to confidently traverse a variety of different terrain. The Toyota RAV4 falls short at just 8.6 inches of ground clearance.
Safety and Technology
The new Subaru SUV keeps you safe whether you’re blazing a new trail or driving your kids to school. It features the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system, which is like having an attentive co-pilot along for the ride, available to give a heads-up if the driver becomes distracted or drowsy. While the Honda CR-V does have some safety features, it doesn’t have anything that alerts you when you have become distracted.
When it comes to test scores, the Subaru Forester received a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS (the highest score available). The Honda CR-V fell short with a Top Safety Pick award.
