Performance and Capability
Both models come with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which offers enhanced stability and traction with any Outback or Forester model you choose. Ruggedness and adventurousness are cornerstones of the Subaru lineup, and they're in full force with these two incredible SUVs. Both models also come standard with a 182-horsepower 2.5L engine, but the Outback allows you to turn things up a notch with the optional 260-horsepower turbocharged 2.4L engine.
You'll find 8.7 inches of ground clearance on both the Outback and the Forester, so both are exceptionally capable if you venture off the beaten path. You can also benefit from impressive towing capacity with either, though the Outback offers a bit more with a max towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Pricing and Size
The Subaru Outback has a starting price of $28,395, while the Subaru Forester starts at $26,395. The Outback is considered a midsize SUV, so it's larger than the compact Forester. With all the seats filled, the Outback offers up to 32.6 cubic feet of cargo space over the Forester's 28.9 cubic feet, and you can expand both cargo holds easily by folding down the rear seats. So, both offer plenty of the flexibility you need. It's just a matter of which one is the better fit for your specific lifestyle. We can give you a tour of both models so that you can see what each one looks like inside.
