Everyday adventures, extraordinary compact SUV

The fifth-generation Subaru Forester is more capable, versatile and adventurous than any Forester in history. This dynamic compact SUV is the go-to choice for anyone in search of supreme agility, versatility, comfort and convenience. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, this Forester is longer, wider, more spacious, quieter, safer and better handling than previous generations. The SUBARU BOXER® engine creates more power and the Lineartronic® CVT generates increased efficiency compared to past models. At the same time, the 2023 Forester retains its essential “Forester-ness,” courtesy of standard adventure-ready technology, such as Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, X-MODE®, SI-DRIVE® and Hill Descent Control. Introduced last year, the even more rugged and capable Subaru Forester Wilderness™ continues to tackle all challenges. So, no matter which direction your life may take or the sheer size of the family adventure you’ve planned, the Forester is ready to roll.

Ultra-versatile, capable and adventurous

Athletic and adventurous, the 2023 Subaru Forester features a muscular, aggressive, yet aerodynamically sculpted design. The bold front fascia, front grille, bumper, under guard, fog light surrounds and LED headlights combine to create a powerful first impression. The stylish rear fascia and distinctive LED tail light assembly emphasize the high ground clearance. The wide stance speaks to a planted and more dynamic driving experience and the generous glass area provides a commanding view of the road ahead. The Forester Wilderness™ takes things even further with higher ground clearance, more rugged body cladding, underbody skid plates, a rubber rear bumper step pad and an even tougher-looking front grille and bumper. As with past Foresters, the 2023 Subaru Forester continues to make a bold statement that’s well-suited to an incredibly capable compact SUV.

Auto-dimming Power-adjustable Mirrors

These available auto-dimming side mirrors are designed for superior visibility, heated to keep the glass surface clear and foldable to prevent damage in tight spaces. The mirrors are also aerodynamically sculpted to reduce wind noise and boost fuel efficiency. For vehicles equipped with the optional Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection (SRVD) system, the LED indicators are relocated on the mirror housing for even better visibility. The Limited and Premier trim levels also have an auto-tilt feature for the passenger-side mirror that kicks in when reversing.

Panoramic Sunroof

This generation of the Forester features an available large power sunroof and increased headroom compared to previous generations. This means that even tall passengers have space to enjoy the panoramic view of the sky above and the fresh air rolling in. For extra-hot days, a manual sunshade blocks the sun and helps keep the cabin cool.

Power Liftgate

Featured on the Touring trim level and above, the power liftgate can be operated via the key fob, allowing for quick and easy access to the cargo area. This innovative design also features an auto-close function, an integrated safety sensor that detects objects in its path and a stop-position memory function to set the opening height. On the Sport trim level and above, there’s also an LED cargo light on the liftgate, allowing you to see more clearly at night.

Aluminum Alloy Wheels

There are five different aluminum alloy wheel packages available on the 2023 Subaru Forester. The Touring trim features daring 6-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels with a machined finish. The Sport trim level features bold and adventurous 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels with gunmetal painted finish. The Forester Wilderness™ showcases rugged 5-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels with a matte black painted finish. The Limited trim level has stunning 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels with machined finish. Lastly, the Premier trim level rolls on spectacular 5-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels with a black and machined finish.

LED Headlights

These LED headlights, designed to project a much bolder look, are standard equipment on all Forester trim levels. On the automatic setting, the headlights turn on under low-light conditions, casting a whiter and brighter beam for greater visibility. All models also feature Steering Responsive Headlights, which follow the direction of the vehicle while cornering.

Fog Lights

There’s no doubt about it: The better your lights, the more you see. On the Touring and Limited trim levels, multi-reflector halogen fog lights cut through murky conditions, improve nighttime discernibility and boost levels of active safety. The Sport trim level features vertical LED fog lights, the Premier trim level has round LED fog lights with two bulbs and the new Forester Wilderness™ gets round LEDs with six bulbs in a hexagonal pattern. All LED fog lights feature a brighter, wider beam for improved visibility.

Versatile, spacious and high-quality comfort

There’s been no stone unturned in the design and engineering of the interior of the Subaru Forester. The Subaru Global Platform and ring-shaped reinforcement frame structure combine to reduce noise and create a surprising amount of space for all passengers. Advanced aerodynamics, plenty of damping material and the use of sound-insulating glass combine to create a quiet and peaceful passenger cabin. The seats are very supportive, the surfaces feature abundant soft-touch materials and there’s a range of highly engaging infotainment systems available. This is your home away from home.

6.3-inch Multi-function Colour Display

The perfect travelling companion, this available information screen reveals the time, temperature and, for models equipped with navigation, turn-by-turn instructions. The centrally mounted display also features an inclinometer that shows the degree of a climb or a descent, and an advanced environmental efficiency gauge that can track fuel economy on-the-fly or compare the fuel-efficiency for different trips.

Ultra-Versatile Cargo Area

The current-generation Forester features a cargo area design that’s both wider and bigger than previous generations. The cargo opening is wide enough to accommodate a tour-sized golf bag, the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats fold much flatter, and there are four tie-down hooks, two upper cargo hooks and four utility hooks to better secure loose items. An integrated drive unit for the available power liftgate frees up even more cargo space, and the liftgate itself has available automatic closing and locking functions. The Sport, Wilderness, Limited and Premier trims also feature an LED cargo light on the liftgate for added convenience.

Crowd-Pleasing Levels of Comfort

The passenger cabin of the Forester features ample shoulder room for the driver and co-driver, while those riding in the back will enjoy plenty hip- and legroom. All the seats offer elevated levels of support, especially important on those long drives. The standard heated front seats feature a wide coverage area to better comfort you; the Limited and Premier trim levels also have rear outboard heated seats. On the Touring trim level and up, the driver gets a 10-way power seat with lumbar support. Finally, the Limited and Premier trim levels include 10-way power driver seats with memory function, while the co-driver enjoys 8-way power seats.

More strength and safety, more confidence

The current-generation Subaru Forester pushes the edge of the safety envelope, incorporating the very latest thinking in active and passive safety technology. Highlights of this model include the ultra-strong Subaru Global Platform, enhanced Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, available dual-function X-MODE® and the available award-winning Subaru DriverFocus® system. These advances serve to increase the strength and inherent safety of the Forester and take driver confidence to uncommon heights.

Standing on guard, driving with confidence

All versions of the 2023 Subaru Forester come standard with class-leading active safety systems, including Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, Active Torque Vectoring, Traction Control, Vehicle Dynamics Control and EyeSight®◊ Driver Assist Technology. These systems are supported by striking agility, superior visibility and, on select trims, the available DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System. This advanced approach to active safety brings greater levels of confidence into sharp focus.

Superior Visibility

The Forester is designed and engineered for exceptional visibility. The A-pillar and partition windows are integrated into the front doors to reduce the size of blind spots. The side mirrors are placed on the door panels instead of the windows to improve visibility, forward and back, and they feature a large glass surface area. The windshield, windows and rear hatch are all large as well, giving the passenger cabin a greenhouse effect. These decisions, combined with the classic high seating position, create a supremely confident feeling behind the wheel.

Rearview Camera

When the Forester is shifted into reverse, this standard rearview camera projects a crystal-clear image of what’s behind the vehicle onto the centre console screen. A washer system helps ensure that camera lens is always clear of dirt, mud and grime, making this safety feature an invaluable addition in all sorts of everyday driving conditions.

Subaru DriverFocus® – Distraction Mitigation System (DMS)

Available on the Limited and Premier trim levels, this award-winning system utilizes a camera angled at the driver’s face and facial recognition software to monitor fatigue or lack of attention. When the driver begins to lose focus, DriverFocus® sends out a helpful alert, like an automated co-driver. The system is also able to adjust climate control settings by reading hand gestures. DriverFocus® also stores the preferences for up to five drivers, including the position of the seats and side mirrors, climate control settings and gauge readouts on the multi-function display.

Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection (SRVD) System

Available on the Touring trim level and up, SRVD has three distinct and very useful functions. Blind Spot Detection identifies vehicles travelling in your blind spots. When changing lanes, Lane Change Assist detects fast-approaching vehicles coming from behind. Lastly, when reversing out of a parking space or driveway, Rear Cross Traffic Alert signals the driver of any vehicles or pedestrians approaching from either the left or right.

Reverse Automatic Braking

Available on the Touring trim level and up, this system automatically applies the brakes whenever the risk of collision with someone or something behind the vehicle is high. The system also incorporates a rear obstruction warning feature, which signals drivers using different alarm patterns that change based on the distance from the obstruction.

High Beam Assist (HBA)

Standard on all Forester trim levels, this system automatically controls when the high beams switch on and off. When the system detects an oncoming vehicle or the distance to the vehicle in front has reduced, the high beams automatically switch off. When other vehicles are far enough away, the high beams switch on again. Simple and effective.

Steering Responsive Headlights

Standard on all trim levels, these headlights automatically turn in the direction that the driver is turning the steering wheel. When the vehicle is turning left, the headlights angle to the left; when turning right, the headlights arc to the right. This feature helps illuminate the road ahead, even when that road isn’t straight, bringing increased visibility and safety into sharp focus.

Braking System

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) incorporates the latest active safety technology to generate increased confidence, particularly in times of need. Electronic Brake-force Distribution automatically adjusts front/rear brake pressure according to different vehicle loads. Brake Override cuts engine power when the brake and accelerator pedals are applied at the same time. Brake Assist automatically boosts stopping power in emergency braking situations. In addition, the responsiveness of the Pre-Collision Braking feature is now enhanced with an electric brake booster.

Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)

Standard on all trim levels, this advanced system utilizes multiple sensors to monitor vehicle dynamics, assess road conditions and determine whether the vehicle is following the driver’s intended course. When the vehicle nears the limits of stability, the system automatically adjusts the AWD torque distribution, engine output and braking force at each wheel to help keep the vehicle on-course. The Active Torque Vectoring system, incorporated into VDC†, also applies braking force to the inside front wheel and engine torque to the outer front wheel to aid in cornering. These advanced systems give drivers of all abilities the feeling of added security and increased confidence under all possible driving conditions.

† VDC is also known as electronic stability control.

Stands and delivers

The 2023 Subaru Forester features a wide range of advanced passive safety systems designed to deliver class-leading levels of protection. The Subaru Global Platform is the starting point, setting the stage for an ultra-strong frame that envelopes all occupants like a suit of armour. In the event that an accident proves unavoidable, the frame and other systems work together to minimize damage to the vehicle and ensure greater peace of mind.

Advanced Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame

This proprietary advanced frame design was reengineered for the current-generation Forester and absorbs more impact energy than on previous versions. The design incorporates more high-tensile strength steel, which creates stronger joints and a superior structure overall. The frame channels impact energy coming from all directions and diverts it away from the passenger cabin. A front crumple zone provides superior protection in the event of a frontal impact, while ultra-tough bumper beams and a reinforced counterforce support provide protection in all types of collisions, including a rollover.

Airbags

A full complement of supplemental restraints is standard equipment on all Subaru Forester trim levels and a key reason why safety ratings for the vehicle are so consistently strong. This comprehensive approach to passive safety includes dual-stage deployment front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors for front and rear outboard occupants, and a driver’s knee airbag.

Injury-reducing Seats and Seatbelt Systems

The front seats utilize ultra-strong frames, energy-absorbing mounting and active headrests to reduce the chance of whiplash in the event of a collision. Height-adjustable front seatbelts with pretensioners and rear outboard seatbelts with pretensioners hold passengers firmly in place, while load limiters ease peak forces to the chest. The locking tongue system is designed to lock the front seat lap belts to better restrain occupants and reduce the chance of injury. The lower anchor bars of the ISO FIX/LATCH system are positioned for easy access and to protect younger passengers riding in compatible child safety seats. All trim levels come equipped with the Rear Seat Reminder and Rear Seatbelt Reminder.

Break-away Engine

In the event of a head-on collision, the SUBARU BOXER® engine and Lineartronic® CVT are designed to absorb impact energy and then break away from the vehicle structure entirely. Once free from the structure, the engine and transmission drop down to the ground to ensure they don’t intrude into the passenger cabin.

Quality engineering for reliability and durability

The Subaru Forester has been an engaging and popular SUV right from the get-go—and this fifth-generation model adds to the reputation. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, stiffer and more rigid than the previous platform, the Forester leads the way in terms of strength, safety and stability, allowing for more precise tuning of the suspension system. The powerful and efficient SUBARU BOXER® engine is linked to an equally efficient and smooth Lineartronic® CVT. The Forester also features the world-famous Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system and, on certain models, a dual-function version of X-MODE®. The Subaru Forester Wilderness™ continues into 2023 with a revised transmission engineered to tackle bigger towing challenges and even more ambitious adventures.

The legendary SUBARU BOXER® engine

The naturally aspirated 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder is lighter than the previous engine and incorporates direct injection for superior horsepower, torque, driveability and fuel efficiency. All trim levels are equipped with the SI-DRIVE® engine management system with the eco-friendly Intelligent (I) mode. Most trim levels also feature the Sports (S) mode, while the Sport and Wilderness™ trim levels feature the Sport Sharp (S#) mode for superior responsiveness. This advanced engine management system places control in the driver’s hands and helps to extract maximum performance, efficiency and sheer fun at all times.

Lineartronic® CVT + Symmetrical Full-Time AWD

The Forester comes equipped with a well-engineered and efficient Lineartronic® CVT that’s been tuned to showcase the strengths of the SUBARU BOXER® and the Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system. This design delivers predictable handling at all times and under all conditions, shifting engine torque to the wheels with grip under hard acceleration or in low-traction conditions. Available paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel and the optional manual shift mode deliver even more control and crisp response. The Forester Wilderness™ comes equipped with a CVT oil cooler to boost towing capacity and tackle more rugged adventures.

Next-generation X-MODE®

The Forester line features two versions of the advanced X-MODE® system, which allows you to tackle the steepest of inclines with increased confidence. On the standard version, the dial controls the operation of the VDC and X-MODE system. On the available dual-function version, this dial lets you select between two settings tailored to specific driving conditions—namely, snow/dirt and deep snow/mud. The dual-function X-MODE is available on the Sport model trim and above.
