Are you in the market for a new SUV that can keep up with your outdoor adventures near Salt Lake City? Subaru has several models that fit the bill, but which one is right for you? If you’re looking for something on the smaller side, we recommend starting with the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek or the 2024 Subaru Forester. Mark Miller Subaru Midtown outlines the differences between the Subaru Crosstrek vs. Forester in detail below so you can determine which one checks all your boxes!

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Forester: Base Engine Performance

If you commute to Park City a lot, you may prefer the more fuel-efficient Crosstrek. However, the Forester has more standard power, so you’ll need to consider which performance spec matters more to you. Keep in mind that both vehicles come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, so you’ll have confident traction either way! Compare the base engine performance and gas mileage between the Crosstrek vs. Forester below:

Subaru Crosstrek vs. Forester: Interior Dimensions

When you compare the Subaru Crosstrek and Forester interior measurements, you get a clearer picture of how different they are. Study the primary differences between the Crosstrek vs. Forester capacities and dimensions to see for yourself below.

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Interior Dimensions

  • 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Passenger Volume: 100.5 cubic feet
  • 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Max Cargo Volume: 54.7 cubic feet
  • 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Rear Legroom: 36.5 inches

2024 Subaru Forester Interior Dimensions

  • 2024 Subaru Forester Passenger Volume: 111.6 cubic feet
  • 2024 Subaru Forester Max Cargo Volume: 74.2 cubic feet
  • 2024 Subaru Forester Rear Legroom: 39.4 inches

The Crosstrek has a compact build that lends itself to agile handling in Tooele, but its interior is a little tighter, so it’s a good choice for single drivers or couples who won’t use the rear seats every day. 

The Forester has a more sizeable build but is still plenty nimble in cities and suburbs. The larger exterior also means a roomer interior, which makes the Forester an optimal choice for growing families that need more passenger and cargo space.
