The Subaru Outback has long been a favorite for drivers who want SUV versatility with car-like comfort. Standard all-wheel drive, generous ground clearance, and impressive safety features make it a natural fit for New England lifestyles. Here's a quick look at how it compares to two prominent competitors: the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4.
The Honda CR-V has built its reputation on efficiency and reliability, but it doesn't match the Outback's all-terrain confidence. For snowy Stamford winters or rugged trails, the Subaru provides more capability right out of the gate. The Outback includes Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard, while the CR-V reserves its on-road-focused AWD system as an option. Ground clearance is another difference-maker. Most Outback models have 8.7 inches, while the Wilderness trim can clear 9.5 inches. The CR-V has just 7.8 inches of ground clearance.
Inside, the Outback also edges out the CR-V with a roomier cabin and more cargo versatility. Features like an available 11.6-inch STARLINK® infotainment system, heated and ventilated seating, and available Nappa leather elevate comfort, while the CR-V leans more heavily on practicality. Both SUVs are efficient, but the Outback's mix of everyday comfort and rugged capability makes it the stronger all-around option for active families.
The Toyota RAV4 is one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market, but the Outback offers clear advantages in size, comfort, and versatility. With more passenger space and a larger cargo area, the Outback is better suited to road trips and weekend getaways. The RAV4 has respectable ground clearance at 8.4 inches, but it still falls short of the Outback, which offers 8.7 to 9.5 inches, depending on the trim level.
The Outback also brings a more refined ride, thanks to its longer wheelbase and car-based platform. Both models come standard with a suite of advanced driver aids, including systems for collision mitigation, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. However, the Outback has a more advanced adaptive cruise system that includes Lane Centering. Additionally, while the Outback comes standard with steering-adaptive LED headlights, the RAV4 doesn't offer them at all.
