Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Forester, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Bolt EUV and the Subaru Forester.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Subaru Forester.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Bolt EUV is much slimmer than the Subaru Forester, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Subaru Forester.

Performance
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Forester.

Powertrain
The Chevrolet Bolt EUV has much lower torque than the Subaru Forester, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Bolt EUV and the Subaru Forester.
