When you need a new SUV that can handle everything from everyday adventures to epic journeys, Subaru has exactly what you need. In this guide, we compare the popular 2024 Subaru Crosstrek with the Subaru Forester. Both models are rock-solid with phenomenal performance and style, but there are a few differences worth noting before your test drive!
Between the Subaru Crosstrek and the Forester, you’ll find two impressive performers for the Franklin County roads. However, they have different strengths. The Crosstrek is the more fuel-efficient option, while the Forester is the more powerful option. However, the Crosstrek Sport trim and higher can also be equipped with the 182-hp 2.5L DOHC engine from the Forester base trim. No matter which you choose, you’ll enjoy a standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for better handling and traction during even the worst weather conditions. Take a look at the Crosstrek vs. Forester specs:

One of the biggest differences between the Subaru Crosstrek and the Forester is the size. The Crosstrek has a smaller footprint, so it can easily maneuver through narrow roads and cramped parking lots in Grove City. The Forester offers a little more elbow room inside, which makes it a great choice for people in need of extra passenger and cargo space. Compare the dimensions below:
