Thinking of trading in your current vehicle for a new Subaru? When you get behind the wheel of one of the models at Sendell Subaru, you can expect superior capability, enduring value, and extra confidence on the roads of Ligonier and the neighboring communities. If you’re searching for a 2-row model, the team at our Greensburg dealership has prepared this 2026 Subaru Outback vs. Subaru Forester comparison. We will examine the key differences between these two popular vehicles, highlighting their variations in size and performance.
Both the Forester and the Outback have 5 seats, so you can take on the roads of the greater Westmont area solo or with friends and family in either vehicle. While these models have generous cabin dimensions, the Outback is slightly more spacious with more passenger and cargo volume. Need the extra room? You’ll go with the Outback. Otherwise, the Forester has plenty of space for your adventures out past Murrysville. Check out the interior dimensions of these models here:
For performance, both the Forester and the Outback use the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine as the standard powertrain. That said, you will enjoy the same horsepower and torque in either model. However, if you want next-level performance on the road, only the Outback offers an option to upgrade to the 260-hp 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine.
