2020 Toyota RAV4 vs 2020 Subaru Forester
Chances are you know someone who drives an SUV. Well, most likely several someones. The body style is incredibly popular thanks to its high riding position, utility, efficiency, and safety. For customers looking into getting a new SUV or crossover SUV, they won’t find themselves bereft of choices. Every automaker has at least one SUV in their lineup, usually two, sometimes three or more. Trying to find the vehicles that matches your lifestyle and needs can be an overlong affair due to the sheer amount of choice.
In order to help, we’ve compared two of the most popular crossover SUVs on the market today: the 2020 Toyota RAV4 XLE and the 2020 Subaru Forester Premium. Here’s what we learned.

We can’t say the same for the Forester, however. The engine is gutless, with little response or feedback during acceleration. When paired with the sluggish CVT transmission, the Forester is a chore to drive most of the time.
