Fantastic Safety
Both of these models come with extensive safety systems, including their respective driver-assistance technology suites. No matter whether you choose the Subaru Forester or the Honda CR-V, you'll be getting features like a pre-collision braking system, lane departure and sway warning and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
If you want the best in safety, however, it's hard to beat the Subaru Forester. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives its Top Safety Pick award to cars that pass several crashworthiness tests and have certain safety features available, and the Honda CR-V received this award for its 2021 model year. The Subaru Forester, on the other hand, has good LED projector headlights standard, allowing it to receive the Top Safety Pick+ award for the same year.
