The 2025 Subaru Forester is now available at Dyer Subaru Vero Beach, showcasing an impressive blend of performance, comfort, and versatility. For drivers comparing SUVs, key considerations include engine power, cargo space, fuel efficiency, and off-road capability. In this blog, we’ll explore how the 2025 Subaru Forester stacks up against popular competitors like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Jeep Compass to help you find the perfect SUV for your needs.
2025 Subaru Forester vs. Toyota RAV4
The Subaru Forester outshines the Toyota RAV4 in interior space and passenger comfort:
- Cargo Capacity: The Forester offers up to 74.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, compared to the RAV4’s 69.8 cubic feet.
- Passenger Space: Front passengers enjoy 43.3 inches of legroom in the Forester versus the RAV4’s 41 inches, and rear-seat passengers benefit from 39.4 inches in the Forester compared to 37.8 inches in the RAV4.
The Forester prioritizes comfort and space while delivering reliable performance with its 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® engine, which produces 180 horsepower. Standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive ensures exceptional traction and balanced handling, making it a versatile choice for all types of driving. While the RAV4 offers a 203-hp 2.5L engine, it lacks the Forester’s emphasis on all-weather capability and well-rounded performance.
2025 Subaru Forester vs. Honda CR-V
For those who love adventure, the Forester is better equipped for off-road terrain:
- Ground Clearance: The Forester offers 8.7 inches of ground clearance, surpassing the CR-V’s 8.2 inches.
- Fuel Economy: The Forester achieves up to 33 MPG on the highway, while the AWD CR-V tops out at 31 MPG.
Both SUVs feature advanced technology, but the Forester pulls ahead with its optional 11.6-inch Subaru STARLINK® Multimedia Plus system, larger than the CR-V’s available 9-inch screen. Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities are standard on most Forester trims, giving it another edge over the CR-V.
2025 Subaru Forester vs. Jeep Compass
When comparing interior space, the Forester is the clear winner:
- Passenger Volume: The Forester offers up to 110.8 cubic feet of space, significantly more than the Compass’s 100 cubic feet.
- Cargo Space: With up to 74.4 cubic feet, the Forester provides substantially more room than the Compass’s 59.8 cubic feet.
The Forester also delivers better ride stability with its 105.1-inch wheelbase, compared to the Compass’s 103.8-inches. While the Compass has a higher towing capacity at 2,000 pounds, the Forester makes up for it with superior comfort, ride quality, and advanced features like reclining rear seats.
2025 Subaru Forester Features and Upgrades
The 2025 Forester offers a range of premium features and adventure-ready enhancements:
- Hands-Free Power Rear Gate: Easily load cargo with a foot-activated power rear gate.
- Panoramic Power Moonroof: Let in natural light and fresh air for a more enjoyable ride.
- Two-Tone Leather Upholstery: Add a touch of sophistication with Ultrasuede inserts.

Why the Subaru Forester Stands Out
Choosing between the 2025 Subaru Forester and its competitors comes down to priorities. The Forester excels in:
- Interior Space: Superior cargo and passenger volume for families and gear.
- Technology: Advanced infotainment and connectivity options.
- Safety: Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology enhances every drive.
While competitors may offer better engine performance or towing capacity, the Forester delivers a well-rounded experience without compromise.
