Compare Subaru Crosstrek vs Honda HR-V
Subaru Crosstrek vs. Honda HR-V: A Subcompact SUV Clash of Versatility & Capability
There are so many small SUVs on the market these days. This can lead to a difficult decision for South Sarasota SUV shoppers. At Sarasota Subaru, we want to help. That's why we show you how the new Subaru Crosstrek stacks up against the latest Honda HR-V, a rival crossover. Before shopping at your Subaru dealer in Sarasota, FL to get seated in the clear winner, see how the new Subaru Crosstrek tops the competition.
Design
Space
Each two-row SUV fits five passengers and can expand to 55 cubic feet of cargo space when Sarasota, FL drivers fold the seats. The Subaru Crosstrek offers two additional cubic feet of total passenger volume (101 cubic feet) and an extra inch of front-row legroom (42.9 inches).
Exterior
Honda's smallest SUV only provides seven inches of ground clearance. The 8.7 inches of ground clearance in the Subaru Crosstrek is a class-leading figure, and the Wilderness has a raised suspension to increase that figure to 9.3 inches. Clear obstacles beyond South Sarasota with ease by driving a new Subaru Crosstrek.
The Honda HR-V is missing roof rails, which the Subaru Crosstrek provides to help Vamo, FL travelers carry extra gear. The Subaru Crosstrek now offers a Wilderness model that provides all-terrain tires and extended lower cladding, neither of which the Honda HR-V can counter.
LED brake lights are included for the Honda HR-V, but the SUV can't match the standard LED Steering Responsive Headlights or the LED fog lights that give the Subaru Crosstrek the ultimate illumination level riding around Sarasota, FL.
Features
Automatic climate control is included for the Honda HR-V, but dual-zone settings don't join until the top trim level. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard for the new Subaru Crosstrek, helping you regulate the SUV's cabin temperature on the way back home to North Sarasota following a day at the beach. Heated front seats and leather-trimmed seats are shared interior features for these new SUVs.
Performance
Real Time AWD™ is only an available feature for the Honda HR-V, which has a 4-cylinder engine rated for 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. The Subaru Crosstrek gives Vamo, FL motorists more confidence by being equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and providing dual-function X-MODE®.
The Subaru Crosstrek's flat-4 engine delivers seven additional pound-feet of standard torque. While the base model outputs 152 horsepower, the Subaru Crosstrek gives South Sarasota drivers the power boost they're searching for with the 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER® flat-4 engine that produces 182 horsepower.
The new Subaru Crosstrek is the more fuel-efficient SUV for both city and highway driving. Earn 27 miles per gallon on the city streets of Sarasota and 34 highway miles per gallon taking US-41 or I-75 from Vamo, FL to your destination. Respective fuel economy ratings for the Honda HR-V are 26 and 32 miles per gallon. The Honda HR-V is not used for towing, but the new Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is capable of helping North Sarasota drivers tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Technology
Each SUV's standard touchscreen spans seven inches, but the Subaru Crosstrek offers a larger display. The Honda HR-V's biggest screen is a 9-inch display, while the new Subaru Crosstrek gives Sarasota, FL drivers seamless access to an 11.6-inch touchscreen through Subaru STARLINK® Multimedia Plus. Both SUVs provide Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration and a wireless phone charger. The Honda HR-V provides eight speakers, but no name-brand sound system is available. The Subaru Crosstrek enhances the listening experience on the way back to South Sarasota with the Harman Kardon® premium audio system.
Safety Features
Each SUV includes Adaptive Cruise Control within its safety suite. The HR-V has Honda Sensing®, while the Crosstrek has Subaru EyeSight®. Blind-Spot Detection (Crosstrek) and a Blind Spot Information System (Honda HR-V) are optional safety features. The Honda HR-V doesn't offer a security setup as comprehensive as the Crosstrek, which gives Sarasota, FL drivers peace of mind through Subaru STARLINK® Safety & Security.
