Top 25 Ground Clearance Crossovers & SUVs, 2017 Report

15. 2018 Subaru Forester (8.7 inches)

In terms of ground clearance, the Forester matches the Outback and the Crosstrek, at 8.7 inches. As with the Outback, the base Forester houses a naturally-aspirated, 2.5-liter boxer unit with 170-hp. If that isn’t enough oomph, you can have a turbocharged, 2.0-liter engine with 250-hp. Standard all-wheel-drive, a comfortable ride, and a slew of safety features make this car hard to beat as an all-rounder.

Starting at $22,795, Subaru has pitched an appealing proposition to prospective customers, and it’s easy to see why. If you want an honest-to-goodness crossover at a reasonable price, consider a Forester.
