Well, there are a great many advantages with either SUV, so let us compare these crossovers for your convenience.

In terms of the power
underneath the hood, it would seem that the Subaru Forester is at a
slight advantage as its engine generates 182 total horsepower, which the
engine f the Subartu Crosstrek generates 156 horsepower in total.
However, the Crosstrek has a bit higher ground when it comes to traction
as all trims come available with X-MODE® to compliment the standard
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and boost traction.

Features
The
Forester might be at an advantage when it comes to providing some extra
standard features of less as all trims feature such amenities as LED
headlights, EyeSight® Driver-Assist Technology, and a heated steering
wheel, whereas, many of these features either are only available n the
Crosstrek or are absent from most trim levels.
The Crosstrek does, however, offer aluminum alloy wheels in all trims, which are more lightweight and can help save fuel long-term.
Fuel Economy
If
you are looking to save the most fuel possible, for your commute to
Laguna Niguel, the Crosstrek is where you would find the sight advantage
there, though both crossovers can hold up to 16,.6 gallons of fuel.
The
Crosstrek, however, can travel up to 27 miles per gallon in the city
and is the more lightweight of the two crossovers in general.
The Forester can travel up to 26 mpg in the city and is a bit heavier, with steel wheels giving the crossover a bit more curb weight.
There
are a great deal of advantages these two crossovers have, as family SUVs
and reliable off-roading models as well.
