Interior & Comfort
Subaru Forester Hybrid: Inside, the Forester Hybrid is roomy for up to five passengers, features 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space, and provides all-day comfort around Danbury, CT.
Jeep® Compass: While the Jeep® Compass gets the job done, it lacks the gentle comfort and support of the Forester Hybrid. It also offers significantly less max cargo space with 59.8 cubic feet. The Forester Hybrid simply offers more attractive styling and more comfort.
Exterior & Utility
Subaru Forester Hybrid: While the Compass is rugged, the Forester Hybrid offers more modern, wide appeal in its smooth body lines and vibrant paint options. In terms of utility, the Forester Hybrid is all about getting you places comfortably, something it does much better than the Compass.

Subaru Forester Hybrid: When it comes to safety, the Subaru brand is widely renowned for its safety features and driver assistance technologies. The Forester Hybrid shares a few of the same safety technologies but offers more peace of mind overall.
