What are the sizes of Subaru SUVs?

I’m shopping for a new Subaru SUV but need one that’s big enough for my family of five. How big are the SUVs that Subaru makes?

Subaru has three SUVs—the
Ascent
is 196.8 inches long and 71.5 wide, the
Crosstrek
is 176.5 inches long and 71 inches wide, and the
Forester
is 182.7 inches long and 72.5 inches wide.
The Ascent can seat seven or eight passengers whereas the Crosstrek and the Forester can only seat five passengers.
Size is a big consideration when SUV shopping—but it can mean different things to different people. Here are some things to consider:
  • Overall size to make sure you feel comfortable driving an SUV of that size. Parking in an SUV can be tricky for some drivers.
  • Seating capacity to make sure you have enough space for your maximum number of passengers. Remember, most SUVs fit five passengers.
  • Cargo space to make sure you can accommodate your large grocery shops and all the gear for your interests, whether they be camping or playing hockey and your kids’ activities.
  • Drivetrain, which should be based on what you plan to do with your SUV. Will you mostly use it to commute to work? Do you enjoy off-roading?
Once you decide on what size your new SUV should be, you can turn your attention to trim levels, safety features, performance, and tech.
