With Forester interiors being roomier, 2023 Subaru Forester has tremendous advantages over the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. In addition to having more spacious cabin, which is more spacious than that of 2023 Subaru Crosstrek, it is also more luxurious. While both vehicles offer some of the same internal features, the Forester comes with more standard features.

Both vehicles are equipped with a four-wheel-drive system as standard, but the Forester has better off-road capabilities. Having four-wheel drive already puts the 2022 Forester ahead of its rivals, but the numerous competing compact crossovers also have their advantages.
While this does not mean that the Forester is the superior crossover SUV, it is a key factor to consider when making your decision between both vehicles.
These advantages are testament to Subarus foresight with its horizontally opposed engine. Subaru strongly believes the Boxer engine is an optimally designed engine to enjoy driving.
As you can see, the Subaru Boxer engine is a study in symmetry in and of itself, delivering impressive amounts of power from such a tiny size.
When you turn on Subaru X-Mode(r), the Vehicle Dynamic Control System (VDC) in the engine, transmission, and differentials of the car are optimized for strong grip under harsh conditions.
If you are driving over 18 miles per hour in a landscaped environment such as dirt roads, the hill descent control system generally provides the necessary grip for confident driving.
The cherry on top of a capable already-four-wheel-drive arrangement, Subaru X-MODE(r) brings enhanced tech to the table for models equipped with Lineartronic(r) CVT transmissions.
The hottest Subaru Crosstrek 2023 now offers dual engine options, and customers can go even further off-grid in the Crosstrek Sport and Limited trims, which feature X-MODE with Dual Functions.
The Crosstrek remains SOAs top-selling AWD model, with 128,979 models delivered to customers in the past ten months.
The redesigned 2023 Outback, redesigned 2023 Range, and a stable 2023 Forester continue the good times rolling. The 2023 hot Subaru Crosstrek was 2022s best performing model in terms of volume, with 13,635 of the compact SUVs delivered to customers, up 28.74 percent from the same time frame in 2021 (10,591).
We have given the 5-year cost-to-own award to the compact crossover Subaru Forester five years running, with 2021 being the last.
Subaru refreshed the Forester SUV for 2022, introducing blockier-looking headlamps, a revised grille, and a new wheel design. Inside, the Forester SUV benefits from new optional gesture controls for the climate control system, and panoramic sunroofs are standard on all trim levels except for the base.
