Control And Stability
When you are in the market for an SUV, the common purpose is to own a vehicle that can handle the challenges of off-road terrain or hazardous weather. For decades the Forester has been the top selling vehicle for Subaru thanks to its dependable and stable feel when driving in less than perfect conditions thanks to the symmetrical all-wheel drive in this SUV. You will be happy to learn that the Forester Hybrid is also an AWD SUV, making it the most reliable vehicle in poor conditions. The CR-V is most commonly offered in a front wheel drive only format. However, there is an AWD variant offered for the CR-V, which is less popular than the FWD model. But if you want the tried and time-tested version of AWD, the Forester is the best selection.
A Few Important Numbers
At first glance, buyers could be misled and think that the Honda CR-V Hybrid offers five miles per gallon more economy than the Forester Hybrid. However, that number is when comparing the front-wheel drive version of the Honda with the all-wheel drive Forester. In a comparison of the two SUVs, both offering all-wheel drive, the difference is only two miles per gallon. In addition, if you are interested in pulling a trailer or boat with your new hybrid SUV, the CR-V has a max towing capability of 1,000 pounds, while the Forester Hybrid ranges from 1,500 pounds to 3,500 based on the model you select.
As you review other factors such as the interior space, both small SUVs seat five, but the Forester Hybrid has about seven cubic feet more space for those five passengers to relax and enjoy. Finally, as you think about spending time in your new hybrid SUV with the ones who mean the most to you, think about the latest technology on the Forester Hybrid that includes the winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology suite and is included on all trim levels of this ultra-safe SUV. The new upgrades to this system include faster recognition and reaction to pedestrians and cyclists, faster driver alerts, automatic braking in reverse when changing lanes, and detecting a car in the blind spot.
The pros have made their choice for the new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. But we invite you to visit Premier Subaru of Fremont to take a test drive and decide for yourself if the 2025 Forester Hybrid is the choice that will best meet your needs and desire for the ultimate in safety and functionality.
