New Subaru Forester - Belknap Subaru

The Subaru Forester slots into the Subaru SUV lineup as a bold and compact SUV that features seating for up to five, a deceptively roomy cabin, and a robust array of tech and comfort features. Additionally, the Subaru Forester comes with an impressive set of standard features, including standard symmetrical all-wheel drive and a bundle of driver assistance features (EyeSight). If you're in the Laconia or Plymouth area searching for an SUV that's capable of handling tough winters and modern tech needs, then the new Subaru Forester is a must consider. The new Subaru Forester is available in five trim levels: Forester, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring.

Subaru Forester Wilderness Trim

The latest model year gets an all-new off-road-oriented trim: Wilderness. The Wilderness flexes an array of features, including textured StarTex upholstery, fold-down rear seats with protective seat back material, a unique rugged exterior design and increased ground clearance (9.2-inches). Other notable additions include an enhanced dual-function X-Mode, matte black finished wheels with all-terrain tires, and standard all-wheel drive.

What's new to the Subaru Forester?

The latest model year of the Subaru Forester gets a smattering of minor updates and changes that make more for quality-of-life improvements than grand overhauls. The biggest change that comes to the Subaru Forester is the addition of the Wilderness trim. Other new features include steering-responsive LED headlights standard along with automatic high beams and rear seat belt reminder. The Premium trim level now offers Laconia drivers keyless entry/ignition along with fog lights. The Sport trim gets some updates, too. The Sport trim now includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert. Lastly, the Limited trim gets a simulated 7-speed manual mode for its continuously variable transmission.

Performance

The Subaru Forester keeps things simple in the power realm by offering up just one engine option. All trims of the Subaru Forester are powered by a 2.5-liter flat-4 engine that makes 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. Symmetrical all-wheel drive comes standard with all trims along with a continuously variable transmission.

Technology

The Subaru Forester covers modern connectedness needs by including a host of standard and available tech features. The base Forester trim comes outfitted with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 6-speaker audio system, a CD player, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display. The Sport trim makes improvements to the standard set of tech features by replacing the 6.5-inch infotainment display with an 8-inch variant while also adding in an 8-speaker premium Harman Kardon audio system. In-vehicle Wi-Fi is also available.

Interior

Comfort and convenience features range from standard offerings like cloth-trimmed seats and automatic climate control to available offerings like heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and leather-trimmed seats. The Limited trim includes a heated steering wheel, as well.
