Subaru’s Forester is a small crossover SUV that’s big on off-road performance and practicality. Its fuel-efficient engine, premium interior, and feature-rich multimedia system mean it’s a fantastic value for its affordable pricing. Here’s your quick guide to the 2023 Subaru Forester!
Basics About the 2023 Subaru Forester
Engine and Transmission
A robust 2.5L DOHC flat-four engine motivates every model with its 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. Its Active Valve Control System (AVCS) takes in a multitude of vehicle data to help improve power delivery, reduce emissions, and achieve excellent fuel economy at an EPA-rated 33 MPG highway. Paired with the motor is Subaru’s Lineartronic continuously variable transmission that offers adaptive gear changes and a 7- or 8- speed manual mode.
Also standard with every Forester, Subaru Intelligent Drive lets drivers choose between two different driving modes for emphasizing performance or fuel savings.
Off-Road Handling
Subaru vehicles are famous for their off-roading prowess, and the rugged Forester is no different with its standard Symmetrical AWD system. This system continuously monitors driver inputs, cornering, and vehicle speed in order to optimize traction. The instant it senses that a wheel is losing grip, it sends extra power to prevent any slipping. X-Mode is available on most models and provides snow and mud settings.
Passenger Cabin
At over 111 cubic feet, the Forester’s inviting interior provides noticeably more passenger space than many of its competitors. Cargo space is also exceptional at more than 74 cubic feet when the 60/40-split seats are folded down flat. Throughout the cabin, you’ll find a generous amount of soft-touch materials and well-textured trim. Many models come with heated seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
If you spend much of your time roughing it in the great outdoors, you’ll definitely appreciate the extra-durable, water-repellent StarTex upholstery of the Wilderness model. You’ll also love the Forester’s panoramic moonroof, which blocks 95% of UV light and opens up to give occupants a great view of the stars.
Infotainment and Connectivity Options
Providing plenty of entertainment and convenience features, including standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the Forester’s Subaru Starlink Plus touchscreen infotainment system is available on 6.5- or 8-inch displays. The system lets users take advantage of Bluetooth wireless technology and a mobile 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Up to four USB ports allow passengers in the front and rear to connect their devices.
The available voice-activated navigation system helps get you to your destination with TomTom software and turn-by-turn directions. An optional Harman Kardon premium audio system features nine speakers and a 576-watt-equivalent amplifier for powerful sound.
With its strong on- and off-road performance and comfortable riding experience, the Forester is the ideal compact SUV! Head on over to Subaru Superstore of Surprise today and see the latest model for yourself!
