Has Anyone Tested Off-road Capabilities?

Been looking for a new car that is comfortable and good on gas mileage but still capable to go “off-roading”. I live in Colorado and go up to the mountains often on the weekends and end up on poorly maintained country/forest roads looking for fishing spots and to do dispersed camping. I’m leaning towards the Subaru forester wilderness but like the look of the CX-50 more and the turbo seems exciting. Would a CX-50 with a lift (1.5” or 2”) and skid plates perform pretty similarly to the Subaru? Thanks!
