What Are the Differences Between the 2017 Toyota RAV4 and 2017 Subaru Forester?

Versatile, powerful and efficient, compact crossovers like the 2017 Toyota RAV4 check all the boxes. Armed with a fun-to-drive 176-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, the Toyota RAV4 delivers an athletic and efficient ride. Subaru Forester models come standard with a similar 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers lackluster power numbers. An available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine provides a power upgrade for car shoppers who choose top-of-the-line Subaru Forester editions.

A key element of the 2017 Toyota RAV4 vs 2017 Subaru Forester comparison involves drivetrains. Base Toyota RAV4 editions employ front-wheel drive that can be upgraded with an innovative Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel Drive system. Dynamic Torque Control AWD employs an array of sensors to monitor speed, steering and throttle response and will automatically modify torque distribution when loss of traction is detected. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard for Subaru Forester models and provides simple and uniform torque distribution at all times.

All-wheel drive performance and versatility go hand in hand when you explore this RAV4 vs Forester comparison. Cargo space is a key factor for families on the go and with 38.4 cubic feet behind the second row that will transform into 73.4 cubic feet with the seats laid flat, the Toyota RAV4 is a superior option. Base Subaru Forester editions provide similar numbers that are downgraded when you opt for upper trim levels that shrink cargo space to 31.5 cubic feet behind the rear seats and a maximum of 68.5 cubic feet.

An element that sets the 2017 Toyota RAV4 apart from compact crossover competitors is a class-exclusive Toyota RAV4 Hybrid platform. Armed with a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine that pairs with a high-torque electric motor, the RAV4 Hybrid manufactures 194 horsepower and will make 34 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive with intelligence is a standard feature that upgrades performance.
