Tough, practical and virtually indestructible

With Subaru’s hybrid technology, the 2.0L petrol e-BOXER engine works seamlessly with the electric motor to deliver a more rewarding driving experience on every type of journey.

Whatever the weather, wherever you want to go, this reliable workhorse will get you there. It’s calm, understated and up for any challenge.

Your safety, Forester's priority

All-new Forester has a range of active and passive safety technologies as standard. It’s built on the Subaru Global Platform chassis for improved stability, higher rigidity, increased strength, better rolling resistance and more responsive steering. Forester’s superior safety credentials include the maximum 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

In fact, Forester achieved the highest ever score for a vehicle in its category in Euro NCAP’s Child Occupant Protection test.

Forester's multitude of safety technologies include EyeSight driver assist technology (including Adaptive Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Braking), Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection and a Driver Monitoring System.

Permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD) gives you optimum control. On and off road, Forester remains adventurous, and also reassuringly safe.

All-wheel capability, year-round confidence

Permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive gives the driver maximum confidence and control at all times by continuously shifting power to the wheels that have the most traction, ensuring excellent road-holding – whatever the weather or terrain.

With 220mm ground clearance, Forester effortlessly negotiates rocky tracks, shallow streams and more with all the dependability and reliability you’d expect from a Subaru SUV.

If you’re facing steep, extreme terrain, expert support is instantly at hand. At the twist of a dial, two-stage X-MODE with Hill Descent Control will manage the power, braking and SAWD system for you, ensuring optimal traction and grip when it matters – so you can concentrate on steering a safe route through the mud, ruts and rocks.

Designed with you in mind

Whatever your choice of activity and wherever you go to get your fresh air fix, all-new Forester will be by your side year after year, mile after mile – ready to take you and all your gear.

From planned holidays to spontaneous hiking expeditions, Forester has the capacity for any adventure. On or off road, you can make every trip in optimum comfort. Hitch up a trailer or caravan and you can tow loads of up to 1,870kg.

At the push of a button, the powered tailgate gives you instant access to Forester’s spacious boot. With a wide opening and square design, it’s easy to organise, load and unload any object – so there’s plenty of room to pack everything you need for every type of trip. Once you’ve loaded up, just tap the button on the tailgate to watch it automatically close and lock.
