Drivers all over the Concord area know the value of a capable, versatile, and generally efficient small SUV.

But one small SUV stands out among the rest and it's the new Subaru Forester, now for sale at our Tilton, NH dealership. To give you an idea of why this is the right pick, compare the new Subaru Forester against the competition and head over from Laconia or Bow, NH today to see more.

Most popular automakers have at least one SUV that belongs to the same small segment as the Forester. Here, we're looking at how the latest Forester stacks up against the latest new Kia Sportage, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Chevy Equinox. Along with the stunning new Forester, our Tilton dealership has a full new Subaru model lineup with other SUVs and cars that you'll want to consider for your travels around Plymouth, Meredith, and beyond.

KIA Sportage

Subaru Forester vs. Kia Sportage

  • Like other new Subaru models, the Forester comes with standard all-wheel drive, which you'll want for tough wintertime conditions around Laconia and Tilton. AWD is a costly option for the Sportage.
  • Even with standard AWD, the Forester is a bit more efficient than the Sportage, making the Subaru a great choice for your daily commutes and travels in and around Concord.
  • In terms of both industry rankings and simply stacking up safety suites, the Forester proves to be the safer small SUV in comparison to the Sportage. With more Subaru EyeSight driver aids and higher rankings across the board, you'll trust the Forester far better than the Kia model.

Honda CR-V

Subaru Forester vs. Honda CR-V

  • For a smart towing setup, the Forester Wilderness Edition gives you a max trailering rating of 3,000 pounds, while the best-configured setup of the Honda CR-V tops out at 1,500 pounds.
  • Though the CR-V offers a bit more max cargo space, the Forester is designed with far more room for passengers. This comes through more headroom in both rows and front legroom, allowing for more comfort for even larger adult passengers.
  • The handling of the Forester is far nimbler than the CR-V, especially when you're regularly on wet, rocky, or unpaved surfaces you're bound to traverse around Meredith and Bow.

Toyota RAV 4

Subaru Forester vs. Toyota RAV4

  • Though the RAV4 has more standard cargo room behind the back seats than the Forester, the Subaru small SUV offers more total space with seats folded down, giving you added layers of flexibility for all kinds of stuff.
  • In order to have AWD capabilities in the RAV4, you'd have to spend more for that option, while the Forester has standard Subaru Symmetrical AWD, a must for Plymouth and Laconia drivers out on the roads during the wintertime.
  • The Forester offers more headroom, legroom, and shoulder room for the driver and all passengers compared to the more cramped RAV4.

Chevrolet Equinox

Subaru Forester vs. Chevy Equinox

  • The smaller engine and standard FWD setup of the Equinox limits its overall performance dynamics compared to the AWD-capable, efficient, and more powerful Forester.
  • The higher riding height and uplifted style of the Forester - with even more ground clearance in the available Wilderness Edition - make the Subaru SUV a better choice for Lake Region drivers in the Tilton and Meredith area, compared to the lower, sleeker Equinox profile.
  • The Forester uses its standard Subaru EyeSight suite to give you a comprehensive set of safety aids. While the Equinox has some standard features like forward collision alert and lane keeping assist, many of the most useful driver aids that are standard in the Forester come as costly options in the Chevy SUV.
