Crossover Face Off: Subaru Forester Vs. Toyota RAV4

Drivers who make the decision to buy a crossover have a lot of choice. It seems like every year a new model is added to the market and for consumers, deciding which is the right CUV for them can be a challenge. So today our team here at Don Miller Subaru West thought we might help by giving you a quick comparison of two of the most-popular crossovers in the Madison area: the Subaru Forester and the Toyota RAV4.

There is no doubt in our mind that both of these crossovers will do good by their owners. Both have great reputations for longevity and reliability. What it really boils down to is which model best fits your lifestyle.

The Toyota RAV4 is an awesome crossover for small families and commuters. With seating for five and a focus on efficiency, the Toyota RAV4 can get up to 31 mpg on the highway and can push out 174 horsepower with its 6-speed transmission and 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Drivers can also expect Bluetooth and a backup camera to come standard.

The Toyota Forester on the other hand is designed for drivers who don't want a car you have to be gentle with. Ready for long highway drives or short sprints down muddy off-road trails, the Forester is an ideal car for families or individuals that really love the outdoors. This model also sports a 2.5-liter engine but comes standard with all-wheel-drive and a long record of 5-Star Safety Ratings.
