Honda HR-V vs Subaru Crosstrek: Smart Safety Features
As local drivers ourselves, we know that many of you spend quite a bit of time commuting and carpooling. That's why we love that both the Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek are poised and ready to act should you approach any unseen hazards on the road ahead.
For example, both vehicles have an available forward-collision mitigation system that can alert you to potential hazards and even bring you automatically to a stop to try to avoid an incoming collision.
Other available smart safety features you'll get with both models include:
- Smart cruise control
- Lane keeping
- Automatic high beams
They also both have a way to watch your blind spots while merging or changing lanes; however, the one in the Honda is a bit unique. When you activate your right turn signal, available Honda LaneWatch™ turns your infotainment display into a live video feed of your right blind spot. This way, you have a clear view of your intended lane.
Unfortunately, the Subaru doesn't offer a similar kind of video feed feature, so drivers may not be as sure of when the coast is clear to change lanes.
Dimensions of the Subaru Crosstrek and Honda HR-V
When it comes to traversing crowded city streets or parallel parking on well-traveled roadways, both the Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek are winners. They both feature a compact body style that's easy to maneuver through tight spots.
Not only that, but they're both 2-row, 5-seat vehicles with plenty of space inside for cargo and passengers. Take a look at the full picture of their dimensions below:
| Â | Honda HR-V | Subaru Crosstrek |
| Wheelbase | 102.8 inches | 104.9 inches |
| Length | 170.4 inches | 175.8 inches |
| Passenger volume | Approx. 100 cubic feet | Approx. 100 cubic feet |
| Cargo volume | 57.6 cubic feet | 55.3 cubic feet |
What's interesting about this comparison is that even though the Honda HR-V has a smaller wheelbase and a shorter length than the Crosstrek, it actually provides more cargo volume overall.
We see a similar trend with trunk volume when the rear seats are upright. The HR-V has 23.2 cubic feet of trunk volume and the Crosstrek has 20.8 cubic feet of trunk volume.
So, with a more maneuverable body and more cargo room, it appears that the Honda HR-V may make better use of its available space than the Crosstrek.
