2022 Subaru Crosstrek vs. 2022 Honda HR-V: Off-Road Capability

The Subaru Crosstrek also distinguishes itself as being the more rugged option. After all, it's a Subaru model. With a ground clearance of 8.7 inches, you'll easily be able to drive on back roads and over uneven ground without scuffing up your undercarriage or suspension. The Subaru Crosstrek also comes standard with AWD, and provides you the option to upgrade to X-MODE, which allows you to fine-tune torque distribution for silky smooth handling on choppy terrain.

Meanwhile, the Honda HR-V requires you to upgrade to AWD, and if spring for AWD, you'll reduce your ground clearance from the FWD model's 7.4 inches to 6.7 inches. No detail better signals the fact that the HR-V's AWD inclusion is only mean to enhance traction on wet roads. The HR-V just doesn't offer the versatile performance of the Crosstrek, despite occupying the same price range. If you're choosing between the Subaru Crosstrek or Honda HR-V, we think you'll agree that Subaru engineering offers so much more.
