Frequently Asked Questions
How many miles to the gallon does the Subaru Forester get?
The Subaru Forester has been EPA-rated for up to 26 miles per gallon on city streets with 33 miles per gallon on the highway. The Forester Hybrid offers up to 35/34 miles per gallon, while the Forester Wilderness is rated for 24/28.
Subaru Forester vs. Subaru Outback? What's the Difference?
While the Subaru Forester and Subaru Outback are both five-seat Subaru SUVs with standard all-wheel drive, there are several elements that differentiate them. Most notably, the Subaru Forester is a small compact model while the Subaru Outback hails from the midsize segment.
While the Forester is still a roomy and versatile family-friendly favorite, its smaller size means less cargo room than the Outback. The Forester offers up to 29.6 cubic feet of rear cargo room with the seats up, compared to the Outback's 32.6 cubic feet.
The biggest difference between the two, however, falls in the performance department. The Forester, with its lower ground clearance and more humble 180-horsepower powertrain, is better for Mulino and Happy Valley drivers with more casual needs. The Outback, meanwhile, offers a higher ground clearance and can be equipped with a more powerful turbocharged powertrain. This includes a peak output of 260 horsepower with 277 pound-feet of torque.
What Makes the Subaru Forester So Popular?
High ground clearance and Subaru-standard symmetrical all-wheel drive makes the Forester nimble and capable in tough road conditions. Foldable seats and a hatchback mean it can easily carry cargo. For enthusiasts, the Forester's sport-tuned suspension and powerful BOXER engine deliver fun and performance on twisting roads. The Forester is road trip ready with comfortable seating and available active driver-assist safety systems.
How much can the Subaru Forester tow?
All Subaru Forester SUVs have a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. As a bonus, all models are available with a Class II Receiver Hitch and feature standard Trailer Stability Assist (TSA), automatically applying the brakes to specific wheels to combat swaying trailers.
Is the Subaru Forester AWD?
All Subaru Forester SUVs come standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for improved traction throughout changing conditions. In addition, standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) with Active Torque Vectoring provides incredible stability, adjusting braking force and engine throttle input to help you take every corner with precision.
Is the Subaru Forester good for camping?
Subaru Forester models are great for camping due to their spacious interior, up to 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and wide rear gate for easy access to your gear.
Which Subaru Forester has leather seats?
Subaru Forester trims such as the Limited and Touring come standard with leather-trimmed upholstery. Limited models receive black or gray leather upholstery, while the Touring can be had with black or Saddle Brown Leather.
Why are Subaru Models So Reliable?
Subaru leaves no stone unturned when engineering its vehicles. Models like the Forester are over-engineered for supreme durability. At the heart of this engineering is the long-standing Subaru BOXER engine design, which orients cylinders horizontally opposed to one another to achieve more power with less engine stress.
