Subaru Forester vs. Toyota RAV4
Compare the Subaru Forester vs Toyota RAV4 for Your Nederland Excursions
Chase your weekend thrills in a new compact SUV! Here at JK Subaru, we remain committed to sharing information about our exceptional Subaru SUV models. After all, we believe that when it comes to style, capability, and overall value, nothing can compare to a Subaru! As more Americans choose a compact SUV for daily transportation, demand for the segment continues to climb, and as a result, so does the competition. One of the Subaru Forester's most popular competitors is the Toyota RAV4, and while both vehicles offer highlights, only one model can come out on top as the vehicle of choice for drivers in Nederland, Texas.
Power & Performance
Both the Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4 models feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder base engine to bring power to your Nederland commute. While it is true that the Toyota has a slight horsepower advantage, the RAV4 does not accelerate as quickly as the Forester does. Each Subaru vehicle also comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD), an exceptional alternative to the utilitarian AWD system available to upgrade the RAV4. The Subaru Forester also offers the X-MODE® feature, providing you sure-footed control over your commute. The Toyota RAV4's system isn't quite as adept, making it a bit more challenging for off-road adventures.


Advanced Safety Features
Both models come standard with their own safety suites, the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology for the Forester and the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 for the RAV4. IN either lineup, you'll enjoy the convenience of lane-changing assist, pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, and more. However, the Subaru Forester's higher trims also offer the DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System and Reverse Automatic Braking to help you safely navigate busy streets! Toyota does not employ either of these systems yet in their RAV4.
Exterior and Interior
The Subaru Forester boasts a sporty design with premium comfort and convenience features that are unrivaled by the Toyota RAV4. The Subaru Forester is now standard with LED Steering Responsive Headlights, a feature that the Toyota RAV4 only offers with higher trim levels.
Passengers will enjoy the spacious back seat in the new Forester during long road trips or short errands around town. The Toyota SUV features lower back seats than the Forester, making it more difficult for adult passengers to climb in and out of the vehicle. With all of this to consider, the new base model Forester comes in at a lower starting price than a comparably-equipped RAV4 model, helping you to increase your value right away. Even if you choose the premium Forester trims, you will still spend significantly less than the premium RAV4 trim model.
