TERRAIN
Subaru Forester

You’re the type of person who feels more at home in the untamed forest than on city streets. Luckily, the Subaru Forester feels the same and is designed to help you navigate beyond paved roads.

The Forester Accepts the Challenge of Spontaneous Off-Road Detours

In the rugged playground of nature, the Subaru Forester rises to the occasion with its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD). This technological marvel instills confidence in the face of unpredictable terrain. It optimizes traction by performing real-time evaluations and delivering power to the wheels that need grip the most.

Activate available X-MODE®, and suddenly, your Forester transforms into an off-road virtuoso, optimizing engine output and transmission ratios for a controlled and exhilarating ride through mud, rocks, and whatever challenges nature throws your way.

Capturing the Beauty of Nature in Its Rawest Form

For the adventure-driven explorer, capturing the raw beauty of nature goes beyond the lens—it extends to the essence of the drive itself. The Forester boasts off-road maneuverability and precise handling.

Having 360-degree views of the untamed landscapes makes every drive a visual feast, capturing nature’s grandeur from the comfort of your Forester thanks to features like:

  • Sliding panoramic moonroof
  • 9.2 inches of ground clearance
  • Hill Descent Control

These available features make traveling farther than the average explorer easier than imagined.
