2020 Subaru Forester vs. 2020 Toyota R AV4

Performance

• Every new Subaru Forester model comes equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. While all-wheel drive is coveted for driving through poor weather and off-road terrain, it also provides you with greater stability and control on the roads around Atlanta. The RAV4 comes equipped with standard front-wheel drive, although all-wheel drive is available on all models throughout the lineup.
• Both the Forester and the RAV4 offer impressive fuel economy for the level of performance that they offer. The new RAV4 offers a slightly higher fuel economy both in the city and on the highway, but the Forester offers 16.6 gallons of fuel capacity, compared to 14.5 gallons in the RAV4, allowing you to travel a very similar distance on a single tank of gas.
• The Forester offers 8.7-inches of ground clearance while the RAV4 offers 8.4-inches. While it's not a huge difference, it could be the difference between seeing over the car in front of you to inspect traffic or not.
• Both the Forester and the RAV4 come equipped with a standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, but the Forester uses a horizontally opposed Boxer engine for greater stability and center of gravity.

• Both vehicles offer comfortable interiors with seating for up to five passengers, but the Forester offers more space for those passengers to stretch out. The Forester offers 111.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, compared to 98.9 cubic feet of passenger volume in the RAV4.
• The Forester also allows you to pack more cargo than the RAV4 does. The RAV4 offers a respectable 69.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo space while the Forester offers 76.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, making it easier to pack in larger items or pack more on your next trip out of Atlanta.
