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.
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!

Aside from engine options, the interiors of these Subaru SUVs are also different. While they share many of the same driver assistance and infotainment features, they vary when it comes to interior dimensions. The Forester interior has more passenger volume than the Outback interior. However, if you want more cargo space, the Outback interior provides more cargo room than the Forester whether the rear seats are up or down.
