Which Versatile Compact Crossover is Perfect for You: The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek or the 2017 Subaru Forester
Both the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek and Forester stand out as remarkably reliable, and versatile compact crossovers with rugged performance. The Crosstrek offers impressive off-roading capabilities thanks to standard all-wheel drive and the Subaru BOXER® engine. It offers up a spacious cargo area of up to 51.9 cubic feet, and a rail rack to let you haul almost anything you need. The Crosstrek also comes at a slightly lower MSRP.
The Forester is the larger of the two vehicles and, thanks to a higher ceiling, is ideally suited to a family or someone who likes to drive with their dog. It also offers more cargo space with up to 74.7 cubic feet and a little more power with a 250 horsepower engine. You and your passengers can enjoy a massive sunroof available on certain trims of the Forester.
