Off-road enthusiasts shopping for their next adventure-ready vehicle are comparing the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness to the Honda CR-V TrailSport. Each day, more of them are finding that the Subaru model is far superior to the competition. See the pros at Herb Gordon Subaru to find out why.
Head-to-Head Performance Matchup
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is equipped with all sorts of impressive brand-exclusive performance features that just aren’t available on the Honda CR-V TrailSport. These innovations give the Subaru model more brawn and better handling. Here are some highlights:
- 2.5-liter BOXER® engine
- Dual-function X-MODE®
- Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®
- Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE™)
- Lineartronic™ continuously variable transmission with Adaptive Control, Incline Start Assist, and an eight-speed manual mode with paddle shifters
The Honda model’s hybrid powertrain is competent, but it can only tow up to 1,000 pounds compared to the Subaru option’s 3,500 pounds. You’ll also get to explore rougher terrain thanks to our vehicle’s raised suspension and 9.3-inch ground clearance. The Honda CR-V TrailSport is over an inch closer to the ground.
Design and Technology Comparison
Both the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness and the Honda CR-V TrailSport offer comfortable cabins—but the Subaru model wins here, too. Features include durable and water-resistant StarTex® upholstery, illuminated USB input and charging ports, and an 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system. In the Honda option, you’ll get cloth seats and a 9-inch screen.
