We have put these two respected models side-by-side for a comparison of the facts to answer this question. Take a look at what we found in the details below and then be sure to come see the new Subaru Outback for yourself here at Secor Subaru serving Norwich, CT.

Subaru Outback vs Honda CR-V Design Comparison

The Subaru Outback and the Honda CR-V are each well designed models but there are some key differences to consider before making your decision. Even from the outside, the larger windows and smaller roof pillars, that have been been both strengthened and reduced in size, make it clear that you will enjoy superior visibility all around in a Subaru Outback. The fancy looking rear roof pillars on the Honda CR-V may look cool from the outside, but from behind the wheel, you will likely find the larger blind spot they create to be less than ideal. You and your passengers will also have significantly more room in which to get comfortable in the new Subaru Outback. There are far too many design advantages in the new Subaru Outback to tell you about here so come see us to learn more at Secor Subaru where the drive from Norwich, CT is always worth your time.

Subaru Outback vs Honda CR-V Performance Comparison

At the entry level, it may seem that the Honda CR-V is less expensive than the Subaru Outback but when you consider that the Subaru Outback comes standard with symmetrical all-wheel drive and a whole lot more that is either available as a pricey upgrade, or not available at all on the Honda CR-V, it's clear which model provides you with more for your money. The standard 2.5 liter Boxer engine that comes with the 2016 Subaru Outback provides similar power and nearly the same fuel mileage but where you have the option of upgrading to a 3.6 liter 6-cylinder Boxer engine in the Subaru Outback, you will have to make do with a 2.4 liter traditional inline 4-cylinder engine in a Honda CR-V. The Subaru Boxer engine sits flat in the Subaru Outback with horizontally opposed cylinders and it is this flat design that allows the Subaru Outback to overcome adversity with 8.7 inches of ground clearance while still handling comfortably and precisely thanks to a lower center of gravity. The difference in performance is even more obvious from behind the wheel so come take the Subaru Outback for a test drive with us at Secor Subaru serving Groton, CT.
