The 2024 Subaru Forester: A Trusted Companion for Every Journey

Unlike many other compact crossover vehicles on the market today, the Forester is a capable and rugged machine that can take you just about anywhere. That’s because it was built from the ground up with off-roading performance in mind and features a slew of trail-conquering technologies. At the same time, passengers will be able to enjoy a spacious, inviting cabin. Let’s explore the 2024 Subaru Forester, which you can find at your San Jose Subaru dealership!

 

Dependable Power

Coming standard across the Forester lineup is a 2.5L flat-four engine that mates to Subaru’s Lineartronic continuously variable transmission, which features an 8-speed shift mode for Sport, Limited, and Touring trims. 180 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque get distributed to all four wheels with the help of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a full-time system improving grip and handling in both dry and slippery conditions.

In addition to featuring an advanced traction control and active torque vectoring, almost every trim gets hill descent control and the X-Mode system. X-Mode offers additional drive modes, such as Deep Snow/Mud, and makes subtle power delivery and AWD system adjustments to make you feel more in control. Despite the Forester’s impressive capabilities, the vehicle has earned an EPA-rated fuel economy of 33 MPG highway.

Functional, High-Quality Interior

The Forester’s passenger cabin sports a sophisticated design with user-friendly controls and ergonomic driver positioning. Thanks to the vehicle’s thin pillars and large windows, visibility is outstanding. Passenger space is exceptional, as well, and includes up to 41.2 inches of front headroom and 39.4 inches of rear legroom. Base models boast a cargo space of 28.9 cubic feet, expandable to 74.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.

Premium cloth upholstery is standard, but other trims can be had with genuine leather or water-resistant StarTex. Other standard amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control and a multi-function center console that has a storage tray, a rear compartment, and two cup holders. The Touring model adds a heated steering wheel and a driver memory system for the seat and power side mirrors.

Feature-Packed Infotainment System

While the base Forester gets a 6.5-inch touchscreen for its Subaru Starlink infotainment system, other trims offer an 8-inch display. Both setups allow for Bluetooth hands-free calls and audio streaming, SiriusXM satellite radio support, and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration. An available mobile Wi-Fi hotspot provides internet while on the go.

Along with a powerful 9-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, the Touring lets users take advantage of connected navigation complemented by SiriusXM Travel Link and live traffic updates.

You can depend on the Forester’s remarkable performance and versatility, no matter where your trip takes you. Head down to Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara, CA today and check it out!
