2024 Subaru Crosstrek Compared to 2024 Toyota RAV4

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Compared to the 2024 Toyota RAV4 
 

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek brings elevated enjoyment to any adventure one plans on taking across the Central Michigan region. Between its coveted Symmetrical AWD platform and well-equipped interior, the Crosstrek makes catering to a more active lifestyle easier. How does the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek compare to the 2024 Toyota RAV4? Not only is the Crosstrek much more accessible to a wider range of budgeting considerations, but the Symmetrical AWD platform allows for greater all-season handling versatility on every trim level when compared to the RAV4 and its standard FWD platform. The interior of the Subaru SUV also comes with plenty of competitive functionality when compared with the RAV4.  

Performance 
 

A peppy 2.0L SUBARU BOXER® four-cylinder engine resides in the baseline 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. Delivering 152 horsepower, every trip around town or on the highway is met with satisfying levels of on-demand performance. Compared to the 2.5L four-cylinder in the 2024 Toyota RAV4 and its 203 horsepower, the Subaru manages to maintain a competitiveness that is appreciated when factoring in the greater accessibility of the Crosstrek. A Continuously Variable Transmission is partnered with the Subaru, while an eight-speed automatic transmission is found with the RAV4. Where the Crosstrek shines over its more expensive Toyota competitor is the fact that the SUV comes with the exceptional Symmetrical AWD platform. This standard drivetrain allows the driver of any 2024 Crosstrek to have unparalleled all-season maneuverability when compared to the standard FWD platform that is found on the 2024 RAV4.  

Interior Features 
 

For all five occupants of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek, the 100.5 total cubic feet of passenger space that awaits them is more comfortable than the 98.9 total cubic feet found in the 2024 Toyota RAV4. Every Crosstrek also comes equipped with an automatic dual-zone climate control system that can be voice-activated for added convenience. The standard Toyota RAV4 only comes with a manual climate control system in comparison. Both SUVs are equipped with numerous modern infotainment amenities to elevate any daily trip around mid-Michigan. Integrated Wi-Fi® hotspots and connectivity to various smartphone mediums for compatible devices are found in both family cruisers. They also share premium media outlets such as Bluetooth® Streaming Audio and SiriusXM® radio capability for diverse entertainment opportunities that everyone in the vehicles will appreciate when going for a drive around town or when venturing out on the highway.  
 

Safety Features 

The Symmetrical AWD platform that every 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is equipped with allows the SUV to outperform in all-season maneuverability when compared to the standard 2024 Toyota RAV4 and its FWD platform. Both family cruisers are then supplemented by a wealth of standard driver-assistance features to provide additional protection and monitoring when contending with city traffic or highway travel. Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning are key elements of the extensive driver-assistance packages that both vehicles are equipped with. They even share standard Adaptive Cruise Control technology to make long trips on the highway in the Great Lakes Bay Region more enjoyable for the driver.
