The 2023 Forester comes with a 2.5L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine that produces 182 horsepower. This engine produces consistent power for merging and passing on the highway. It also delivers a composed, balanced ride thanks to its Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). That power helps the Forester tow up to 3,000 pounds.
To help you deal with inclement weather and rough trails, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard. Several other features enhance its capability, including its standard 8.7-inch ground clearance and available X-MODE®.
The Forester provides seating for five people in spacious, comfortable seats. The front and rear seats have ample head and legroom for adults to stretch out and relax. There are also several available amenities that enhance the interior comfort, such as a panoramic power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and reclining rear seats.
How much are you bringing with you? Whether it’s just enough for a day trip or everything you need on a long weekend, the Forester has room. It boasts 28.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. When you lower the rear seats, it opens a maximum cargo space of 74.2 cubic feet.
