Helping You Decide Between the Subaru Outback and the Subaru Forester
New Subaru SUVs are a great option from our Salem, OR dealership. We have many trims and models you can choose from, and our experts want to help you find one tailored to your lifestyle. The Subaru Outback and the Subaru Forester are popular choices that we can help you decide between.
Performance
The Subaru Outback offers 180 or 260 horsepower, depending on the trim you choose. Outback XT trims and the Wilderness edition come with the more powerful engine. Every trim is paired to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to keep you confident on highways and trails near Keizer, OR.
You will also find Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and CVT equipped in the Subaru Forester. The Forester offers a hybrid model, but the gas-only options have a 180-horsepower engine as the only option. A Wilderness trim is also available for the Forester but it does not have a more powerful engine.
Interior
Choosing the Subaru Outback will provide 109 cubic feet of passenger space and between 32.6 and 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The balance makes it a versatile option for daily drives and weekend adventures. Cloth upholstery is standard, with StarTex® water-repellent upholstery available. Upgrade to include heated and ventilated seats for maximum comfort during summer afternoons and winter drives near Monmouth or Dallas, OR.
Anyone who wants to have slightly more passenger space can choose the Forester. The cabin offers up to 110.8 cubic feet for passengers and between 29.6 and 74.4 cubic feet of cargo space. You'll find most of the same comfort features as the Outback, but the Forester is standard with dual-zone climate control while the Outback is not.
Exterior
The Outback is larger than the Forester, measuring 191.9 inches long and 74.2 inches wide. Choosing most trim levels will provide 8.7 inches, except the Wilderness, which has 9.5 inches to help you get over obstacles along your route. Raised roof rails are standard to bring gear that doesn't fit inside and add to its bold silhouette.
Having a slightly smaller size could make the Forester a better option for many shoppers. It is 183.3 inches long and 72 inches wide, having a bold look without feeling bulky. Most trims have 8.7 inches of ground clearance, while the Wilderness bumps it up to 9.2 inches.
