and finds that the Forester has advantages in towing capacity, passenger volume, and all-wheel drive availability.

The Forester's cabin is roomier than the Rav4's,

with more rear seat legroom and more cargo space for storage.

[{"selector":"#anim-41e2313d-0cf1-418b-a3c1-4504ab516ed7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.2265624042874%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b432539-ce14-4718-ba6c-53c503e4eb04","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.19192%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b1cc54e2-5a9e-460c-8c12-2f1359ac3aae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0964fd59-b562-4021-b64b-de472a2ff517","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The base model of the Forester also comes standard with a larger infotainment touch screen,

[{"selector":"#anim-3f1b674f-7941-41ab-974f-f35be0adefef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.21337879225351%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-962ee65a-197e-41de-ac71-fad8ce92003a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.19192%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8b2b920b-5153-4fb8-95d5-4e5443629b08","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b713496-9ad8-4e18-b9ef-3598abcad4e1","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

which is an advantage over the smaller display in the Rav4.

According to news reports, this makes the Forester one of the segment benchmarks along with other models in its class.

[{"selector":"#anim-74de4bd7-641e-4ffd-9153-6e678da943e2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9843b68d-c41f-46fc-a702-2af8a2174f95","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(119.19192%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a924b636-53fe-48f9-99c8-00c4e295bb15","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-05187de6-21a2-427a-86e3-ffe852bc2c80","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Forester's larger cabin and more room for cargo make it stand out amongst its competitors, such as the Toyota Rav4.
