The 2024 Subaru Forester is a compact crossover SUV with seating for up to five passengers and excellent cargo capacity. There are many competitors with similar sizing and capabilities, like the Toyota RAV4, but the Subaru offers more standard features, off-road readiness, and comforts for less than the competition.

The Subaru Forester checks more boxes if you are looking for a great deal and an impressive vehicle. With a starting price of over $1,000 less than the RAV4 and more standard features on every comparable trim level, the Forester is better priced, offering robust capabilities and modern features for less.
The Subaru Forester has a generous cargo hold and plenty of room for passengers. Behind the seats, you'll have 28.9 cubic feet, which expands to an impressive 74.2 cubic feet with the seats down when you need to haul larger items. The RAV4 falls short with up to 69.8 cubic feet of max storage capacity.
The 2024 Forester wouldn't be a Subaru without standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, allowing you to handle New England winters and confidently venture off the beaten path with superior grip and handling. Not all Toyota RAV4 models are created equal. The RAV4 has standard front-wheel drive, or you can pay even more to get all-wheel drive, which is included on every Forester.
The all-wheel drive version of the 2024 Toyota RAV4 and the new Forester both receive a combined fuel efficiency of 29 mpg from the EPA. You can expect 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway for both vehicles. However, the Forester has a larger gas tank, so you can go further in between fill-ups.
