2024 Subaru Forester features

2024 Subaru Forester

Subaru is a name many consider synonymous with exceptionally robust engines and drivetrains. It’s no surprise that the 2024 Subaru Forester comes with unrivaled performance capabilities for its price point.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

The 2024 Subaru Forester‘s powertrain features a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission system. This engineering masterpiece comes with adaptive control and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, providing better traction, stability, and responsive handling on all kinds of roads.

Efficient Boxer Engine

Under the 2024 Subaru Forester’s hood, you’ll find a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER four-cylinder engine delivering an output of 182 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the turbocharged engines on previous generations of the Forester, the SUBARU BOXER engine is significantly more lightweight, reducing the vehicle’s curb weight. This weight reduction improves fuel efficiency,  since the engine doesn’t work as hard to move lighter loads. With this eco-friendly and robust engine design, the 2024 Forester gets 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway, allowing for excellent driving performance on city roads or off-road adventures.

Innovative Safety Features

The new Subaru Forester takes vehicle safety to new heights with an exciting array of contemporary safety features.

EyeSight Driver-Assist Technology

All trims of the 2024 Forester feature standard EyeSight driver-assist technology. Some of its notable safety and driver-assist features include adaptive cruise control with vehicle hold, lane departure and sway warning, lane-centering assist, lead vehicle start alert, pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, high-beam assist, and automatic emergency steering.

Subaru DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System

On higher trims such as the Limited and Premium, you’ll find additional safety and driver-assist technology as part of the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System. This safety system uses an infrared camera to monitor your face and eyes for signs of distraction or fatigue. It provides visual and auditory alerts to prompt you to refocus, ensuring your safety on Fort Worth’s roads. It also employs facial recognition technology to automatically set your memory power seat and mirror to your preferences.

Spacious and Versatile Interior

If your top priority is a roomy and comfortable SUV interior, you’ll feel at home inside the 2024 Subaru Forester. Its ring-shaped reinforcement frame structure gives the Forester a generous cabin space with plenty of room to accommodate five people comfortably.

Generous Cargo Space

The Forester also offers a generous amount of trunk space and plenty of versatility for all situations. The SUV provides 26.9 cubic feet of cargo space when all seats are in use, enough to fit up to a dozen carry-on suitcases. Lowering the rear seats expands the trunk capacity to 69.1 cubic feet. During our performance testing, we managed to fit 22 carry-on suitcases behind the front seats, which is impressive for a two-row SUV.

Comfortable Seating

Standard heated front seats on all but the base trim come with good padding, offering support and comfort, particularly during long drives. Both front and rear seats provide ample legroom, while additional features, such as its lower anchors and tethers for children system, heated rear seats, and power-adjustable driver’s seat, allow more customization for peak comfort and safety.

Advanced Technology

Whether you’re a tech-savvy Subaru enthusiast or a complete novice, the Forester’s cabin technology will leave you in awe.

SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia

With its SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services, the Forester delivers unrivaled connectivity, contributing to a more engaging and fun driving experience. The centerpiece of its infotainment system is a 6.5-inch capacitive HD touch screen, which comes standard on the Base, Premium, and Sport trims. A larger 8-inch touch screen is available on the Sport trim and standard on the Wilderness, Limited, and Touring trims. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support enable access to all your vital apps from the touch screen. Other standard connectivity features include the following:

Harman Kardon Premium Audio

The Forester offers a premium Harman Kardon sound system with nine speakers on the lower models for all your music-listening pleasures on the road. It’s a standard feature on the high-end Touring trim.

Off-Road Capability

Many consider the Subaru Forester the quintessential off-road vehicle, and it’s easy to see why. Numerous features complement the Forester’s engineering and design.

X-MODE With Hill-Descent Control

X-MODE allows the SUV to excel on challenging terrains by adjusting the engine, transmission, and symmetrical all-wheel-drive systems. It optimizes torque distribution, minimizes wheel slippage, and enhances traction control, ensuring superior performance on uneven surfaces. Working in tandem with the X-MODE is a hill-descent control feature that improves performance on challenging terrains by automatically maintaining a steady speed during descents. It ensures better vehicle control and safer navigation on steep slopes.
