Subaru Forester Hybrid vs. Honda CR-V Hybrid Specs & Performance

The Subaru Forester Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid both combine fuel-efficient hybrid power with the versatility of a compact SUV. The Forester Hybrid produces 194 horsepower and comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, while the CR-V Hybrid delivers 204 horsepower and offers available all-wheel drive on select trims.

Where the Forester Hybrid truly shines is outdoor versatility. Every model comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, beating out the CR-V Hybrid's 8.2 inches. If your weekends involve heading to dirt trailheads or navigating sudden desert downpours, this AWD hybrid SUV gives you extra confidence. Plus, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 1,500 lbs, the Forester makes it easier to pull a small utility trailer or teardrop camper compared to the CR-V's 1,000-lb limit.
