From Boston.com:
If you're in the market for a smallish SUV or crossover (those terms have become pretty much interchangeable these days), choosing which brands to compare is one challenge.
But what if you’ve already picked your brand? We have. Today's column explains the differences among Subaru's three crossover offerings.
Why Subaru? Because it's the ultimate New England fallback for the region’s winter climate.
Most folks reading this know a bit about Subarus; namely, that they: 1) are a popular vehicle in New England; 2) last a long time; 3) have a time-tested all-wheel-drive system; 4) and all look somewhat alike.
But ask those same folks to describe the differences among the Outback, Forester, and XV Crosstrek, and you're liable to get a blank stare.
Most of us recognize the models, but are hard-pressed to single out what's distinctive about each one.
The differences are real. The Outback is longer, the Forester is higher and has a higher cargo area, especially important if you've got a good-sized dog, and the XV Crosstrek definitely has an edgy, more aggressive look, in large part because of its fancy wheels. It's also the only one that comes in tangerine orange, a color that definitely goes outside the Subaru mainstream.
