2025 Subaru Outback vs. Forester: Performance & Capability

2025 Subaru Outback vs. Forester: Design, Space, & Comfort
On the inside, both the Outback and Forester offer signature Subaru safety, versatility, and practicality. The Forester impresses with its upright, compact design—perfect for maneuvering tight city spaces—and generous headroom and legroom—ideal for tall passengers.
The Outback captivates with a sophisticated silhouette and smooth ride, thanks to its longer wheelbase and lower profile. This makes the Outback ideal for long road trips or loading up gear. With a slightly larger cargo capacity and standard roof rails with crossbars, the Outback is tailored for big adventures and carrying outdoor equipment.
