No matter how long your next road trip takes, the Forester is built for comfort so you can enjoy the journey. With 43.3 inches of front legroom and 39.4 inches of rear legroom, adults fit comfortably in both rows. While driving, everyone can enjoy the panoramic moonroof (on Premium+ models), dual-zone automatic climate control (on all trims), and available leather-trimmed seats (Limited/Touring) that are easy to clean after muddy hikes or fishing trips.
Whether you’re packing camping equipment for the Cascades or loading up on weekly groceries, cargo space matters. The Forester offers behind the rear seats and up to with the seats folded (Standard trim), which is enough to fit a bike.
The Forester’s standard symmetrical all-wheel drive isn’t just a marketing term. It’s the mechanical difference between getting stuck on a trail and arriving home safely. This system continuously distributes power to all four wheels, instantly adapting when black ice appears or when spring breakup turns trials into muddy obstacle courses.
With at 5,800 rpm and of torque at 3,700 rpm from the 2.5-liter BOXER engine, you’ve got reliable power when you’re warming up on cold mornings. Furthermore, with up to 547 miles per tank on certain trims, you can drive from Ontario to Lincoln City with fuel to spare.
With 8.7 inches of ground clearance on most trims (or 9.3 inches on the Wilderness), the Forester handles rutted forest roads and potholes with ease. If you want to see how the Forester compares to other SUVs, browse our new SUVs to compare ground clearance across different models, or explore used SUVs if you’re looking for proven Oregon capability.
X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control optimizes engine output, transmission, and AWD power distribution when roads turn slippery. Activate it when heading down icy hills or climbing snowy grades. Dual-function X-MODE (Sport, Wilderness, Limited, Touring) adds specific settings for deep snow and mud, perfect for spring breakup conditions or accessing remote areas.
For even more control, Subaru Foresters have vehicle dynamics control and active torque vectoring that work together to maintain stability when roads glaze over unexpectedly. These systems automatically adjust power and braking to individual wheels, helping to prevent slides and improve cornering on unpredictable roads.
