Exterior Features and Interior Space

The Subaru brand is built for adventure, and its standout design showcases as much. This is aided by standard roof rails with integrated cross bars standard on the Outback and not on the CR-V, plus you can find features like Steering Responsive Headlights for better sight while driving at night.

Both the Outback and Honda CR-V offer modern designs with modern features, but the Outback is able to showcase many advantages. It has generous cargo space with 32.6 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and up to 75.6 cubic feet of space when you fold the rear seats down, which is on par with the CR-V, but you will find more legroom for your driving with the Subaru Outback. The Outback also offers a smooth drive for your passengers and will give you all-around comfort that makes it a standout rival to the CR-V.

Performance

While the Subaru Outback and Honda CR-V both offer similar engine choices, the Outback earns the advantage with a smooth-driving standard BOXER® engine option, plus standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which means the ability to handle various conditions as power can be sent to all the wheels to help you in driving situations where needed. This is an option on the Honda CR-V, and much like other all-wheel drive systems, the CR-V's is added to front-wheel drive vehicles, which means it doesn't have the smoothness as the Outback does being a purpose-built all-wheel drive vehicle, which also offers 8.7 to 9.5 inches of ground clearance that the CR-V doesn't.

Technology and Safety

There's plenty of onboard technology, which includes touch display options, smartphone integration, mapping and navigation, and much more, available on the Subaru Outback, while the CR-V offers a similar package. It's safety where the Outback outclasses the Honda CR-V. All Subaru Outback vehicles come with standard Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which provides a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to help you see what's in front or behind you, your blind spots, plus brake automatically if needed, along with keeping safe cruising distances. Additionally, you can find the available Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, which will monitor your driving and alert you if you're not attentive and drowsy, recommending taking rests so you're fully concentrated on driving.
