Value and Economy
The Forester 2.5i Touring's MSRP is $30,945, vs $31,995 for the Grand Cherokee Laredo. Also, the Forester destination charge is $145 lower than the Laredo. But the real distinction in cost of ownership is apparent by comparing warranties, mileage and standard features. The Grand Cherokee Laredo rust perforation warranty expires at 100K miles, but is unlimited on the Forester 2.5i Touring. The Forester is also much more economical to drive. It provides 24 MPG city* and 32 MPG highway*, which are outstanding figures. The Grand Cherokee Laredo delivers a meager 17/24 MPG city/highway. Although the Forester Touring costs less than the Laredo, it offers many standard luxury features that are either optional or not available on the Jeep. For example, drivers appreciate the comfortable, heated 8-way power adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support, standard on Forester but optional on Laredo. Leather seating is a Forester standard but not available on the Laredo. Other examples of Forester Touring's advantages in standard equipment include a power moonroof, roof rack, windshield wiper de-icer and a CD player.
Smarter Size
The sleek Forester weighs 1,244 less than the bulky Jeep and is three inches shorter. The difference is immediately evident by the agile way Forester handles, its tighter turning radius and its much better fuel mileage. Yet for all its extra weight, the Jeep offers less front headroom and legroom. A tall person or the family dog in the front passenger seat will appreciate the extra headroom in the Forester. Critics have noted that the Forester provides the smoothest ride and best visibility among all of its competitors.
The Better Choice
The NHTSA has published its 2015 Crash Test results and the 2015 Forester received a Five-Star Rating for the driver crash test. The Jeep could only score four stars in this test. In summary, the Forester 2.5i Touring gives buyers more standard features, better ride and visibility, higher safety ratings, a better rust warranty, increased first-row room and superior mileage for less money. For these reasons and many others, the Forester 2.5i Touring is the smarter choice. The value offered by the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring is second to none!
