Subaru Outback or Honda CR-V: Which is Better Off-Road?
The 2024 Subaru Outback is better equipped for outdoor activities. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is considered one of the best AWD systems in the industry, and it comes standard with every Outback! Plus, the Outback has 8.7 inches of ground clearance, so it's all-around a better choice for getting to hard-to-reach trailheads and campgrounds. Speaking of camping-the Outback can tow up to 3,500 pounds maximum, which is enough to bring a small camper or boat along for your adventures!
Meanwhile, the Honda CR-V only offers AWD as an option that costs an extra $1,500. The standard ground clearance is 7.8 inches, but it does increase to 8.2 inches on AWD models. Still, this is lower than the Outback's standard 8.7-inch clearance. Finally, the CR-V's 1,500-pound maximum towing capacity pales in comparison to the Outback.
