Are you in search of a Subaru or Toyota SUV that provides ample space for passengers and cargo without compromising on performance? The 2023 Subaru Forester fits the bill perfectly. While the Toyota RAV4 is also a solid choice, it comes at a higher cost and is less equipped for off-road adventures. Let’s dive into the performance, interior features, and cargo space of the Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4 before you visit Mark Miller Subaru South Towne to see the Forester up close.

 

 

2023 Subaru Forester vs. Toyota RAV4: Off-Road Performance

Will the Subaru or Toyota be better for snowy roads and off-road conditions around Herriman? Both vehicles come with a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, and they can both tow 1,500 pounds at the base level. But, when it comes to off-road performance and capabilities, the Subaru Forester reigns supreme. That’s because the 2023 Subaru Forester has better ground clearance–8.7 inches–than the 2023 Toyota RAV4, which has 8.4 inches. Plus, every new Subaru Forester has standard Symmetrical AWD, giving you even more of an edge whether it’s snowing on your way to the ski resort or you’re exploring Moab’s off-road trails.
