Forester Performance

X-mode

Confidently conquer the wild off-road, by engaging Subaru’s intelligent X-Mode at the push of a button. Together with SI-Drive, X-Mode offers enhanced off-road capability with tailored traction modes to help you safely negotiate bad roads, uneven surfaces and inclines with confidence. On selected Forester variants*, 2 mode X-Mode provides even greater versatility-allowing you to choose between two dedicated settings for optimised control across varying low-grip conditions.

The Hill Descent Control function further supports you by maintaining stability and grip on slippery or steep descents. By constantly monitoring the traction available to each wheel and centralising control of the engine, transmission, brakes and other components, X-Mode delivers uncompromising performance in challenging terrain.

Legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Conquer gravel, bitumen, dirt and snow with the Forester's capability and Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD). This full-time AWD system provides optimal traction and stability across varied terrain and weather conditions to help keep you grounded – even when you’re off-road.

Smooth and responsive drive

The all-new Subaru Forester refuses to be confined. With balanced power delivery, excellent torque at low speeds and efficient performance for both everyday driving and weekend adventures, Forester believes in having fun along the way. Plus, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) offers two driver-selectable modes to customise the driving performance and characteristics to the road conditions – and your mood.

Heart and soul

Subaru Forester's iconic Boxer engine delivers an inherently low centre of gravity for confident handling and optimal overall vehicle stability. This dynamic performance is enhanced by the Subaru Global Platform, which has been engineered to optimise steering response for superior cornering and control - thanks to increased rigidity and lower centre of gravity. This intrinsic stability boosts the Forester’s performance, comfort and safety, while the platform reduces noise and vibration for a quieter, more refined cabin experience.

A truly capable Hybrid SUV

Take your adventures further in a hybrid SUV variant designed for everyday ease and weekend capability. Subaru's all-new strong Hybrid e-Boxer system brings a more effortless, confidence-inspiring drive to drivers who want added fuel efficiency, versatility and the freedom to go further.

All-round visibility

The Subaru Forester has always been celebrated for its exceptional all-round visibility — a true hallmark of the nameplate. And that hasn't changed. Discovering more means being open to seeing more - and the all-new Subaru Forester continues that with a cabin to enhance driver visibility. The new more open cabin design has been carefully engineered for panoramic-style visibility. You'll experience improved sight lines and a commanding view of the road, thanks to an expansive glasshouse design, slender pillars and minimal blind spots. An airy sunroof floods the cabin with natural light reinforcing the open and connected feeling inside.

And because life is unpredictable, integrated cameras provide added confidence by showing what's behind you.

Track your road in style

Configured for adventure, the all-new Subaru Forester is one of a kind – with seven dynamic variants waiting to be unleashed. Each one hits the road with a striking balance of style, robust performance and distinctive alloy wheels. Contemporary silver 18" alloys distinguish the Subaru Forester AWD, Forester AWD Premium, Forester AWD Touring and Forester AWD Hybrid, while 18" dark metallic alloys define the Forester AWD Sport. New 19" bronze alloy wheels set the Subaru Forester AWD Hybrid Sport apart and the Forester AWD Hybrid Touring features exclusive 19" dark metallic alloy wheels for a modern, sporty look.

You will see how this feature activates automatically* and can bring the vehicle to a controlled stop plus alert other road users should you become unresponsive while driving.

Safety Systems - Subaru Vision Assist

Subaru's Vision Assist enhances driver awareness and confidence by using smart sensors and cameras to detect blind spots, approaching vehicles and potential obstacles.

Reverse Automatic Braking

Sonar sensors on Forester's rear bumper and the integrated reverse camera help you reverse with confidence, by detecting obstacles, alerting the driver and if necessary, taking action to apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.

Blind Spot Monitoring

Blind Spot Monitor uses rear and side sensors to make lane changes safer, by warning of vehicles detected in the blind spot.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

The Rear Cross Traffic Alert warns the driver that another car is approaching when reversing out of a car space.

Panoramic 360 Degree View Monitor

The 360 Degree View Monitor uses multiple cameras to create a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings, helping you spot obstacles with ease. In park, you can switch between different angles around the vehicle for added confidence when manoeuvring.

Safety Systems - Subaru's Driver Monitoring System (DMS)*

An advanced driver-assist technology that uses facial recognition to enhance safety and convenience - alerting drivers to signs of distraction or drowsiness, while also personalising cabin settings for up to five recognised users.*

^{*Auto door mirror and auto driver’s seat adjustment only is only available in the Forester AWD Hybrid Sport}

Safety Design - Subaru Global Platform

The Subaru Global Platform (SGP) delivers protection for all Subaru Forester occupants via a carefully engineered body structure, featuring a ring-shaped passenger safety cell. The passenger safety cell which cocoons occupants, has been designed to absorb and direct the impact of a collision around the cabin, rather than through it.

Safety Design - Subaru Boxer Engine

The Subaru Boxer engine is smarter and safer than traditional engines. Sitting lower and flatter, the iconic Boxer gives you a low centre of gravity and better handling. Plus, if a severe frontal collision occurs, it will slide below the cabin – not through it.
