Design Differences Between the XV Crosstrek And The Forester By Rimrock Subaru In Billings, MT

The primary design difference between these two remarkable Subaru models is with size. The Subaru XV Crosstrek is considered a small crossover, where the Forester is considered a small SUV. This means that the dimensions throughout the Forester are greater providing significantly more passenger and cargo volume. The Subaru XV Crosstrek does make up for the decreased cargo capacity with a roof rack being standard on all models. The Subaru Forester also offers a roof rack as optional equipment at the entry level and standard on the higher models. Other design differences include more noticeable standard wheels on the XV Crosstrek which also has a slightly more streamlined body design.

Performance Differences Between the XV Crosstrek And The Forester By Rimrock Subaru In Billings, MT

The difference in performance between these two capable Subaru models is perhaps most noticeable due to the size. Driving enthusiasts may notice a slight difference when behind the wheel of the larger, taller, and heavier Subaru Forester. However, because each of these models is from Subaru, they each come with the efficient power of a Boxer engine that provides a low center of gravity for enhanced handling and comfort. The slightly larger engine in the Forester helps compensate for the larger and heavier vehicle, so both get similar fuel mileage of around 30 MPG on the highway. This is pretty impressive for such versatile vehicles. Of course, both the XV Crosstrek and the Forester also come standard with the acclaimed traction of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive that removes any concern of getting around on winter roads. Take each of these amazing vehicles for a spin at Rimrock Subaru, serving Red Lodge, and get ready to be impressed.

Both vehicles have the renowned EyeSight system as available technology, which provides an extra set of unblinking eyes on the road ahead and around.
