The Subaru Forester is a great package for buyers looking for a comfortable, spacious SUV package with some legitimate off-road credibility.
As a complete package, the Forester ticks all the important boxes families are looking to tick thanks to its advanced safety technology, spacious interior and on-road manners.
Subaru has updated the Forester lineup with a pair of fuel-efficient hybrid engine options, while the company’s famous symmetrical all-wheel drive system means it’s got confidence in the wet and while off-roading.
The interior offers acres of headroom for taller front occupants, while a set of large windows adds to the sense of space inside the cabin.
Better yet, Subaur’s generous features list means the base model comes equipped with all the necessary entertainment and safety tech you need, while higher-ranking members pick up a range of more premium touches.
