Although the Forester is 41 millimeters longer than the CR-V, the latter is the broader of the two. Subaru also boasts a longer wheelbase than the competition. So it might have more legroom in the back, making it easier to fit three people in the Honda's back seat.

The CR-V is smaller than the Forester in terms of height. The 1.5 TC 4WD model is also somewhat taller and has 10 mm additional ground clearance than the remainder of the lineup.

Subaru has a long history of rallying. Perhaps that’s the reason why the 2023 Subaru Forester ground clearance is 220 mm, much higher than that of the Honda CR-V. You won’t have to worry about scraping your Subaru Forester's underbody.

The Mitsubishi Outlander is significantly longer than the Forester. The new Forester, on the other hand, is wider and higher than the Mitsubishi, with the latter's total height standing out. 

Both vehicles have the same wheelbase, which is obvious. While the Outlander and Forester have nearly comparable usable boot volumes, the Forester has one liter more than the Mitsubishi Outlander, a minor advantage that wouldn't mean much in actual situations.
