2018 Subaru Outback vs 2018 Honda CR-V

Sports vehicles are popular for the avid adventurer, as well as for growing families, and for good reason. They offer spacious interiors, are fuel efficient, and remain durable for years after they're purchased. However, choosing the right one for your needs can be difficult.

To assist drivers in the Turnersville, Cherry Hill, and Mount Laurel areas, Prestige Subaru takes a look at the Subaru Outback vs. Honda CR-V. By reading this insightful comparison, you'll be able to learn about each vehicle inside and out to help in making this tough but rewarding decision.

Outback vs CR-V: Performance

Both vehicles provide similar and reliable performances for drivers. Under the hood, the Outback holds a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine while the Honda relies on the inline 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine to get you where you need to go.

The Subaru Outback also includes a traction control system and Subaru's signature active torque vectoring, which helps improve the vehicle handling and steering. On the other hand, the CR-V offers Real Time AWB and drive-by-wire throttle system.

Sizing Up These Sports Vehicles

Although both SUVs are very parallel in size, there are some noticeable differences. When we look at the dimensions of the Subaru Outback, it measures in with a length of 189.6 inches and a width of 81.3 inches. The Honda is a tad smaller, coming in at 180.6 inches in length and 73 inches in width. This allows the Outback to possess an impressive towing capacity of up to 2,700 lbs, while the slightly smaller exterior of the 2018 CR-V can only tow 1,500 lbs.

The interior of the 2018 Outback is also a little larger than the very alike Honda CR-V. The Honda keeps you and your passenger in the front comfortable with 38 inches of headroom. However, Subaru's front headroom tops out at 40.8 inches.

The Subaru sports vehicle also has a larger cargo space measuring a monstrous 73.3 cubic feet. The Honda's cargo space, though still ample, is 39.2 cubic feet. The Outback also includes standard railing on the roof for an additional area to place your belongings, while the CR-V does not.

Endless Style

Though these SUVs are not known for being luxury vehicles, they offer a lot when it comes to style. When looking for a family-friendly ride, the Outback offers more of a wagon-style exterior which is great for a go-to family car. The Honda, on the other hand, exudes sportiness with its traditional sport-utility vehicle look.

The 2018 Subaru also comes with durable and easy-to-clean cloth seating, ideal for children when accidentally tracking in the outdoors. Then, it adds a flash of flare with a silver metallic trim. The Honda offers leather-trimmed seats, but only on certain models.
