Performance Features for Weekend Adventures
Tackle any adventure with confidence in the Forester SUV. The Forester's' 182-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine provides responsive power for merging and passing. Combined with the Lineartronic CVT, it returns up to an EPA-estimated 33 mpg on the highway in select builds. The steering wheel paddle shifters allow you to select gears for winding backroads. The CVT continuously adjusts ratios for optimal efficiency.
Subaru's Active Torque Vectoring system applies brake pressure to the inside front wheel for sharper handling when cornering. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance in most trims, the Forester easily traverses rutted dirt roads to trailheads or campsites. The dual-mode X-MODE optimizes engine output, transmission gearing, and traction control for maximum grip on slippery terrain. Whether you're exploring backwoods trails near Smithville or headed to the beach, the Forester has the right features to get you there and back.
Rugged Exterior Styling
The Forester combines SUV capability with eye-catching design. Distinctive LED headlights flank Subaru's large grille, while sculpted lines and black trim accentuate the rugged body. The panoramic moonroof, available on select trims, floods the cabin with natural light. The optional power rear liftgate makes loading bulky cargo simple.
With a spacious interior and up to 74.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded in the Base trim, the Forester easily fits gear for camping or tailgating in the Brentwood area. Roof rails provide attachment points for cargo carriers, allowing you to pack even more for a weekend getaway. Whether you're packing for a day in the city or a long road trip, the Forester has the space to handle it all.
