Get more for less:
While you'll want to pick the right fit in a small SUV around Chicago, your budget is also crucial when deciding. And no matter how you cut it, the Subaru Forester is more affordable than the Toyota RAV4. Whether you're comparing the generously equipped base models or top-of-the line trim levels, the Forester will save you thousands compared to similar versions of the RAV4, which is popular for many valid reasons, but that hot market also drives prices up for Toyota's flagship small SUV. With the same set budget, you might be able to buy or lease a top Forester trim or the exciting Wilderness Edition and get much more in terms of features and options than you would with a new Toyota RAV4.
Â
Standard All-Wheel Drive:
In that same regard, one feature all drivers in Chicago and suburbs like Oak Lawn need to consider is all-wheel drive. Of course, like other new Subaru models for sale here in Countryside, the Forester is equipped with standard all-wheel drive. The Subaru Symmetrical AWD system is one of the best on the market, giving power to all four-wheels and delivering top-notch traction and control, even when the roads around Broadview are slicked with snow, ice, or rain. Meanwhile, the Toyota RAV4 offers AWD, but it's not standard, meaning you're paying more to get an inferior system that may not provide the grip and control you need.
Heightened ground clearance is the sign of maximum versatility:
The new Forester is perfectly sensible for commuting daily into Chicago, with high-end efficiency, even with its standard AWD system. But with a ground clearance of 8.7 inches - and even more when you choose the rugged, trail-ready Wilderness Edition - besting the riding height of the RAV4, you'll have a small SUV that's far more ready for all-weather driving on multiple terrains
Our team at The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside near Chicago has plenty of other facts, figures, and qualities that show drivers why the new Forester is the best bet for a small SUV.
