The Toyota RAV4 comes equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine featuring an output of 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Pop open the Subaru Forester's hood, and you'll find a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. While the Forester's engine has a slightly lower output than the RAV4's engine, Subaru pairs it with a symmetrical all-wheel drive that distributes power to all four wheels for uniform traction and stability on-road and off. The RAV4 comes standard with front-wheel drive, meaning if you want a RAV4 with all-wheel-drive capabilities, you'll have to pay extra.
Interior
While the Forester and RAV4 both seat five people, the Forester gives you a little more room to relax and enjoy the ride. For example, the Forester provides up to 41.2 inches of front-row headroom, while the RAV4's headroom measures 37.7 inches. You also get 43.3 inches of front-row legroom in the Forester, while the RAV4 only gives you 41.0 inches of front-row legroom.
Your second-row passengers will appreciate the Forester for its 39.4 inches of second-row legroom. Unfortunately, in the RAV4 they would only get 37.8 inches of legroom. Plus, the Forester's cabin has a sleek, modern layout, making the RAV4 feel boxy and old-fashioned in comparison.
As you can see the 2023 Subaru Forester offers much more than the 2023 Toyota RAV4. Test-drive the Forester today.
