Subaru and Honda are two of the most popular car brands in Atlanta, GA. Their 2023 crossovers - the Crosstrek and HR-V, respectively - offer a great deal for drivers looking for a new reliable vehicle.

Regarding off-roading capabilities, the Crosstrek has 8.7 inches of ground clearance, which is higher than the HR-V'sHR-V's 7.3 inches. The Crosstrek also comes with Symmetrical all-wheel drive as standard, while the HR-V offers all-wheel drive as an option.
Both models provide a comfortable and composed ride, but the Crosstrek has an advantage in handling thanks to its sporty suspension. The HR-V is generally more nimble in Atlanta, GA tight spaces due to its slightly smaller size and lighter weight.
Interior Features
The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek and Honda HR-V have plenty of interior features that make them great for every day Atlanta, GA driving. Standard features across models include:
- Smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
- Voice recognition.
- Bluetooth connectivity.
- Steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
Both models offer additional luxury packages that add heated front seats, leather upholstery, a power moonroof, and other convenience features such as dual climate control and keyless entry.

Safety Features
With modern technology continuously making our lives easier, it's no surprise that car manufacturers are also taking advantage of the latest advancements. Honda and Subaru have developed driver-assist systems to make your driving experience around Atlanta, GA as safe and secure as possible.
Honda Sensing vs Subaru EyeSight
The biggest difference between these two driver-assist systems is the number of technologies offered. While both offer full-speed adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, Honda's system has additional features such as road departure warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and traffic sign recognition. On the other hand, Subaru's EyeSight system does not include any of these features.
In terms of performance, both systems are reliable and accurate in detecting potential hazards on the road ahead and alerting drivers accordingly. However, Honda's system is slightly more advanced because it can detect vehicles in different lanes and adjust its speed accordingly. The system also offers a "follow me home" mode that will keep headlights illuminated for a certain amount of time after engine shutoff so you can safely get to your destination, even if it's dark outside.
Subaru's EyeSight system is still reliable, but its performance is limited due to its fewer features than Honda Sensing. It uses two stereo cameras mounted near the rearview mirror to monitor traffic conditions ahead while maintaining a pre-set speed set by the driver or enabling full-speed adaptive cruise control. When it detects an emergency ahead, it will apply brake pressure automatically to prevent a collision from occurring.
While both Honda Sensing and Subaru EyeSight offer great benefits for drivers who want safer Atlanta, GA roads with fewer accidents and fatalities due to human error or reckless behavior, there are some clear differences between these two driver-assist systems that should be taken into consideration when deciding which one best suits your needs.
