Choosing between the 2025 Subaru Outback and 2025 Subaru Forester ultimately comes down to your specific needs and preferences. Both of these capable Subaru SUVs offer the rugged performance, practical utility, and advanced safety features that Subaru is known for. Let's take a closer look at how they compare in a few key areas.
Interior Space & Comfort
If you're looking for maximum passenger and cargo space, the 2025 Subaru Outback has the edge. Its longer, wider body results in a more spacious cabin, with over 109 cubic feet of passenger volume compared to around 107 cubic feet in the Subaru Forester. Behind the rear seats, the Subaru Outback provides 32.5 cubic feet of cargo space, while the Subaru Forester offers 31.1 cubic feet.
Performance & Efficiency
Under the hood, both SUVs are powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER 4-cylinder engine and Lineartronic CVT. The Subaru Outback generates 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, while the Subaru Forester produces 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped, the Subaru Outback can tow up to 2,700 pounds compared to its competitor’s 1,500-pound max towing capacity.
In terms of efficiency, the Subaru Forester has a slight advantage. It achieves an EPA-estimated 26 city/33 highway miler per gallon, while the Subaru Outback gets up to 26 city/32 highway miles per gallon. Those living in the Belmont and Littleton areas who do a lot of commuting will appreciate the savings at the pump.
Safety & Driver Assist Technology
You can drive with peace of mind in Berlin knowing that the 2025 Subaru Outback and Subaru Forester come standard with Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology.
