The new Subaru Forester is unlike other vehicles in its class, and for good reasons. This crossover starts by offering sedan- and SUV-like features. This means that it delivers smooth highway performance, offers a spacious interior that's comfortable, and is capable of off-road commuting.
The new Subaru Forester sits at least 8.7 inches above the ground, which is ideal for clearing rough terrain. Its 2.5-liter engine produces an estimated 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The brand's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system senses wheel slip and applies torque to the wheels for maximum traction.
The more hardcore trim is the Wilderness, as it sits 9.2 inches above the ground and hosts Yokohama GEOLANDAR tires. Zero to 60 mph comes in 8.2 seconds. The Wilderness trim tows a maximum of 3,500 pounds, while other trims can trail an estimated 1,500 pounds. Forester's handling is sufficient, and its steering feels accurate.
FeaturesThe new Subaru Forester has an interior that's made of durable, soft-touch materials. Some of the included fabrics are premium leather, fine cloth, and StarTex material. StarTex stands out thanks to its water-repellent properties.
Your trim choice determines the exact seating material. A maximum of five people can sit in the cabin while taking advantage of fold-flat rear seats. This clutter-free cabin yields as much as 116.6 cubic feet of passenger room. At least 74.2 cubic feet of cargo space is available when the rear seats are folded down.
Several usable features are ready for engagement, starting with a roof rail system. The crossover has a five-star safety rating thanks to features like Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. Other included features are in-vehicle apps, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, TomTom navigation, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen.
