Compare Subaru Vehicles to the Competition
Why Subaru Stands Out in Maine
Drivers around Ellsworth, ME, have plenty of crossovers and SUVs to compare. Subaru starts with one major advantage: Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on the Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Forester, Subaru Outback, and Subaru Ascent.
For Maine drivers tackling snow, rain, unpaved roads, and changing coastal conditions, Subaru also pairs AWD with generous ground clearance, EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, practical cargo space, and models built for outdoor use.
Subaru Crosstrek vs. Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross
The Subaru Crosstrek gives compact-SUV shoppers capability that many competitors reserve for optional configurations.
- Subaru Crosstrek: Standard AWD, 180-horsepower 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, and up to 9.3 inches of ground clearance
- Honda HR-V: AWD is available, not standard
- Toyota Corolla Cross: Offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD
For drivers commuting from Trenton, ME, or heading onto camp roads and trail access routes, the Subaru Crosstrek delivers all-weather traction without requiring an AWD upgrade.
Subaru Forester vs. Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V
The Subaru Forester keeps its capability straightforward. Every model includes Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Most versions provide 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and the Subaru Forester Wilderness increases that figure to 9.3 inches. EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is also standard.
The Toyota RAV4 lineup includes both front-wheel-drive and AWD configurations. The Honda CR-V offers AWD on most trims and makes it standard on select versions.
For Bangor, ME, shoppers who want AWD from the start, the Subaru Forester removes one more configuration decision from the buying process.
Subaru Outback vs. Midsize Crossover Competition
The Subaru Outback combines SUV capability with a roomy two-row layout. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, standard X-MODE, and 8.7 inches of ground clearance give it a strong foundation for driving in Maine. The Subaru Outback Wilderness raises ground clearance to 9.5 inches.
Select Subaru Outback configurations can tow up to 3,500 pounds, and maximum cargo volume reaches 80.5 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded.
That combination makes the Subaru Outback especially useful around Bar Harbor, ME, where a vehicle may need to handle daily errands, camping equipment, bikes, kayaks, or a small trailer during the same week.
Subaru Ascent vs. Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander
Families needing three rows can move up to the Subaru Ascent without giving up standard AWD capability.
The Subaru Ascent provides:
- Seating for seven or eight
- Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
- 8.7 inches of ground clearance
- Up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity
- Up to 75.6 cubic feet of cargo space
The Honda Pilot also reaches a 5,000-pound tow rating with AWD, although front-wheel-drive versions are rated for 3,500 pounds.
For families around Blue Hill, ME, the Subaru Ascent packages passenger space, towing capability, and AWD into every trim.
