When you’re in the market for an SUV capable of handling rugged paths, both the new Subaru Forester and Subaru Outback are excellent choices for your adventures around Fort Bliss. But between the two, which one is the better choice? While these models share some features, there are some striking distinctions that will help you choose one over the other. We’ll go over the difference in engines and interiors in the following 2024 Subaru Forester vs. Outback guide.

Subaru Forester vs. Outback: Engine Options

As you’re researching these models, you’ll likely notice that they share the same standard powerhouse, the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine. That said, you can expect the standard performance to be the same.

However, the Outback comes in more trims– 9 to be exact– and when you choose one of the higher trims, the SUV will be equipped with a turbocharged engine instead, boosting the specs significantly. On the other hand, while the Forester is available in 6 trims, it only has one engine option. If you want a more powerful performance on your Mission Valley travels, the Outback with the turbocharged engine will make sense for you!
