When it comes to hybrids, Subaru focuses on versatility and utility, ensuring that these vehicles can perform in everyday life in whatever way is needed. This is reflected in the fact that Subaru's hybrid models are SUVs, designed to deliver both strength and durability. Not only do they come standard with all-wheel drive, but they also have higher ground clearance than Honda's hybrids, with the Subaru Forester Hybrid offering 8.7 inches, whereas Honda's singular SUV hybrid, the CR-V, offers 8.2 inches. This makes Ohio drivers who enjoy camping at the Buckeye Lake near Lancaster and Pickerington have an easier experience for those who enjoy a weekend away.
Discover the driver-focused interior design of the Subaru hybrid, highlighted by the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. It comes with standard features such as an 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK® touchscreen, already integrated with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a 12.3-in digital gauge cluster. All Subaru hybrids are also equipped with the Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist suite, which comes with features such as Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, and Automatic Emergency Steering (available in newer models). Honda's technology, as found in the Honda Civic Hybrid, provides a 7- or 9-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-in digital cluster, and the standard Honda Sensing® safety suite, which does include Adaptive Cruise Control, DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System, and Lane Keeping Assist. For those needing to commute in the Westerville and New Albany areas, the features found in Subaru hybrid models mean a world of difference in comfort, technology, and safety–providing peace of mind for every drive.
Each manufacturer has their own hybrid technology, and Subaru features a new, next-generation hybrid powertrain that pairs a 2.5-liter BOXER® engine with electric motors that are paired to a Lineartronic® CVT transmission. The Honda hybrid models feature 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engines paired with two-motor hybrid systems with electrically variable-speed automatic transmission (E-CVT). The Subaru hybrid SUVs all come standard with Subaru's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, whereas only the Honda CR-V offers all-wheel drive as an optional (and more costly) upgrade. In a Subaru hybrid, drivers from Reynoldsburg and beyond can enjoy the exceptional performance of next-generation technology paired with renowned all-wheel drive safety–something Subaru is renowned for.
