Make Everyone Comfortable

No more having to sit up front: the roomy rear row means that taller passengers can fit in the back, too. Not only is there more legroom in the Honda CR-V than the Subaru Forester, but reclining rear seats come standard, too, so riders can always find the support they need for long drives. They’re only available on the 2026 Subaru Forester. When the rear row is occupied, there’s almost 10 cubic feet more cargo space in the Honda SUV.

Apps at Your Fingertips

You can access podcasts, maps, and everything else more easily with the standard 9-inch infotainment touchscreen in the 2027 Honda CR-V. This interface automatically connects with your phone through standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You have to upgrade to a higher trim for wireless smartphone pairing on the Subaru Forester. Compared with the standard 7-inch touchscreen on the 2026 Subaru Forester, The Honda CR-V feels futuristic every time you drive.

Essential Safety Features

The always-on protective features of the 2027 Honda CR-V make driving safer and easier, too. Traffic Jam Assist now comes standard on the Honda SUV, giving you specialized logic for crawling through low-speed traffic. Along with standard features like Traffic Sign Recognition that the Subaru SUV doesn’t offer, it gives you more peace of mind every time you’re on the road.
