Comparing Subaru Forester v. Crosstrek near Parkersburg, WV
Louis Thomas Subaru is offering a comparison between two favorite Subaru SUVs. Subaru Forester and Subaru Crosstrek have been refreshed for another model year.
And both nameplates offer first-ever models that herald a sustainable future for the brand as well as eco-mindful families near Athens, GA.
What to Expect
As a brand, Subaru is renowned for its SUV segment. Models here span the compact onto the large-bodied for all various family configurations or personal transportation needs in West Virginia.
Though, two such models stand apart in the segment. Subaru Forester and Subaru Crosstrek have been crowd favorites.
Subaru Forester
With six trims to select from, Subaru Forester remains in-demand for families of five. A recent refresh overlaid a new exterior design noted for a sense of refinement and elegance. And with base model of Subaru Forester, you're able to secure amenities of symmetrical all-wheel drive, EyeSight driver assistance technology, ground clearance measuring to 8.7-inches and the Subaru STARLINK Multimedia infotainment system.
And soon to come toward complementing the trim lineup is the first-ever Subaru Forester Hybrid. This sustainable version is expected to provide an expansive hybrid range that combines fuel and electrification without the need of a plugged-in charge. Other highlights see raised roof rails for accommodating Thule accessories and maximum cargo spacing reaching 74.4 cubic feet.
Subaru Crosstrek
Subaru Crosstrek offers compact proportions that signal the model's nimbleness and athletic posture. Found in five trims, there's the usual supply of standard-issued equipment as in all-wheel drive and EyeSight technology. What differs remains the smaller size that will still welcome five passengers to dual-zone automatic climate control, and Apple and Android integration.
And to round-out the nameplate's offerings in trims, the newly designed Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is set to attract a fair share of eco-conscious admirers. The sustainable powertrain earns its keep via self-charging technology that provides considerable ranging on a single tank of fuel. It's soon to be delivered after the summer near Athens, OH.
