As a whole, SUVs are one of the most popular vehicle categories among auto shoppers. One of the leading SUVs that you can buy is the Honda CR-V. The CR-V is a practical, efficient vehicle with a punchy accelerator and good fuel economy. The CR-V gets points for its top-notch safety equipment too, which is included in generous amounts on all trim levels. No matter whether you choose the base trim or opt for a higher-end CR-V trim level, there are many great features aboard the CR-V across the lineup.

Technology and Safety

Safety and technology is one area where the Honda CR-V excels. The Honda gets five stars in crash test ratings as evaluated by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Some of its top safety technologies are lane-keep assist, blind spot information monitoring, and a collision mitigation system that applies the brakes if the vehicle senses that a collision is imminent. These features are all standard on the Honda. Many safety features are available on the Subaru only when you upgrade to a higher trim or add the safety features on through packages. Blind spot monitoring is one safety feature that is not standard on the Subaru. The Honda also comes with wireless charging, which is not offered on the Subaru Outback, and it has a nine-speaker sound system at the top level. You have the opportunity to try out all trim levels and see their technology in the CR-V at Danville Honda through our online test drive feature.

Interior Design

The Honda CR-V has a generously-sized cabin that has more interior space than the Subaru's. The Honda has split-folding seats for practicality. Its seats are also larger and more comfortable than the seats in the Subaru. Of the two vehicles, the Honda also has more legroom and headroom for occupants in the back row, which you can see through our online test drive. The Honda leads the way in storage capacity in its trunk too, which provides nearly 40 cubic feet of storage capacity in the back when the seats are up, and more than 75 cubic feet with the seats down. The Subaru Outback does not have as much volume for storage as the Honda. It also lacks the clever storage compartments that you will find in the Honda CR-V.

Performance

An online test drive of the Honda CR-V also gives the chance to virtually get behind the wheel of the Honda CR-V to see all the performance and handling features that it offers. The Honda stands out for its zippy engine with a responsive accelerator. The CR-V provides ample power for towing, and it can be equipped with all-wheel drive to provide superior traction when conditions are less than optimal. The Honda's engine is also fuel-efficient, which makes it an especially good vehicle to take on road trips or when you are otherwise planning long-distance driving. The 2021 CR-V is driven by one engine across the lineup. All trims have a turbo-charged four cylinder under their hoods for a total power output that reaches 190 HP. The Subaru Outback has a less powerful engine on most trims that produces about 180 HP at most.
