2019 Honda HR-V vs. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Review

Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda HR-V than in the Subaru Crosstrek. The Subaru Crosstrek will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda HR-V.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda HR-V as you will with the Subaru Crosstrek, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). The Honda HR-V is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Crosstrek. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Honda HR-V will cost more in terms of transportation costs than the Subaru Crosstrek.

Dimensions
The Honda HR-V is a little narrower than the Subaru Crosstrek, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The Honda HR-V is slightly shorter than the Subaru Crosstrek, which may make it easier to park.

Drivetrain
With its lower torque engine, the Honda HR-V doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Subaru Crosstrek.
