Subaru Forester vs Subaru Outback

Interior Dimensions in the Forester

When you sit back in the Forester, you'll experience next level comfort. Why? Because its dimensions mean that you can stretch your legs. Relax with 41.2 inches/39.6 inches of front/rear headroom, 43.3 inches/39.4 inches of front/rear legroom, 58.1 inches/57.2 inches of front/rear shoulder room, 111.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, 28.9 cubic feet of cargo volume, and 74.2 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume.

With measurements like that, what can you carry? Just imagine: equipment for the kids' next big game, suitcases for a weekend getaway, or gear for your next camping trip. What you can store is only limited to your imagination.

Converse Comfort in the Outback

In contrast, the Subaru Outback has a lot of comfort to show for itself, too, with interior measurements that make for all the space you need to kick back. You'll have 40.1 inches/39.1 inches of front/rear headroom, 42.8 inches/39.5 inches of front/rear legroom, 58.1 inches/57.4 inches of front/rear shoulder room, and…

• Passenger volume: 109 cubic feet
• Cargo volume: 32.6 cubic feet
• Maximum cargo volume: 75.6 cubic feet

With numbers like those, you can carry just about whatever you need. Better yet, it's just about on par with the Forester, so whichever model you prefer, both options provide the storage space you're looking for.
