We’re confident the CR-V is the more well-rounded crossover SUV, but what might come as a surprise is the Honda’s ability to outpace its rival even when you turn to engine specs.

CR-V vs. Forester: Performance and Fuel Economy

Subaru vehicles have a reputation for delivering exceptional performance, but the Honda CR-V actually provides more power while offering superior peak efficiency scores. Here’s how power and MPG specs measure up:

  • 2021 Honda CR-V: Makes up to 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque and earns up to an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway with the 2021 Honda CR-V LX CVT
  • 2021 Subaru Forester: Makes Up to 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque and earns up to an EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway with the 2021 Subaru Forester Standard.

CR-V vs. Forester: Pricing

Of course, you’ll want to look beyond power and MPG to issues such as starting price. Here’s how entry-level and top-tier models measure up:

2021 Honda CR-V models range between:

  • 2021 Honda CR-V LX FWD: Priced at $25,350 MSRP
  • 2021 Honda CR-V Touring FWD: Priced at $33,650 MSRP

2021 Subaru Forester models range between:

  • 2021 Subaru Forester Standard: Priced at $24,795 MSRP
  • 2021 Subaru Forester Touring: Priced at $34,895 MSRP

The Honda CR-V starts slightly higher as standard, but work your way up to top-tier trims and the Forester is suddenly demanding more than the CR-V.
