The 2017 Subaru Outback Takes on the Competition in Pittsfield, MA

If you're looking for a versatile and capable vehicle, you're probably scouring new and pre-owned inventories all across Pittsfield, Northampton, West Springfield, MA & Bennington, VT-but if you want to expedite your search, check out this quick and easy comparison of the Subaru Outback to the Ford Escape and the Honda CR-V. See how things shake out when these top crossover SUVs go head-to-head.

Subaru Outback VS Ford Escape in Pittsfield, MA

Put the Subaru Outback next to the Ford Escape and the differences start to become rather apparent. As with most of the Subaru lineup, the Outback gives you Subaru's legendary all-wheel drive as a standard feature, but if you want that reassurance and stability of all-wheel drive on the Ford Escape, it's going to cost you extra on top.

  • Even with its all-wheel drive, the Subaru Outback sees a better EPA-estimated fuel efficiency than the Ford Escape (Subaru Outback: 25 mpg in the city/32 mpg on the highway VS Ford Escape: 21 mpg in the city/29 mpg on the highway).
  • If you go with the Ford Escape, we hope you don't have any tall friends or family, because the Subaru Outback has superior overall passenger volume, front head room, front shoulder room, front hip room, second-row leg room, second-row shoulder room, and second-row hip room.




    • Subaru Outback VS Honda CR-V in Pittsfield, MA

    Taking on the next contender, we think you'll be pleased to see how the Subaru Outback fares in this head-to-head matchup:

    • The Outback brings all-wheel drive to the party standard, but of course, if you want similar capability and stability on the Honda CR-V, it's going to cost you a pretty penny extra. If that's starting to sound familiar, it's because Subaru is one of the few major auto makers that routinely offers all-wheel drive as a standard feature on most models, whereas most other manufacturers want you to pay a premium for it.
    • Though both vehicles seat five adults, you might find that your guests are a bit more comfortable in the Subaru Outback than the Honda CR-V because the Outback has superior overall passenger volume (108.1 cubic-feet VS 104.1 cubic-feet) as well as superior front head room, front leg room, front hip room, second-row head room, second-row shoulder room, and second-row hip room.
    • Not only does the Subaru Outback have a superior passenger volume than the Honda CR-V, it also boasts a more spacious cargo volume to seat 1 as well (Subaru Outback's 73.3 cubic-feet VS Honda CR-V's 70.9 cubic-feet).
