Subaru Forester Performance & Efficiency

The 2022 Subaru Forester is equipped with a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine. When combined with Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, this engine delivers up to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque.

Whether you're commuting in and out of the city or navigating snowy backroads, the Forester's Lineartronic® CVT (Continually Variable Transmission) effortlessly manages the right level of power, all while saving fuel. There's also the standard Auto Start-Stop System, which reduces idle time to increase fuel economy even further.

Speaking of fuel, the 2022 Forester was engineered to go the distance with help from its large 16.6-gallon tank and its EPA-estimated 26 city/33 highway MPG.* No matter what type of excursions you plan on taking, you'll be able to spend hours on the road before needing to stop and refuel.

On- & Off-Roading Capabilities

To help optimize the Forester's AWD system and reduce wheelspin, you'll find a full suite of performance-enhancing technologies, including:

  • Vehicle Dynamics Control
  • Active Torque Vectoring
  • Trailer Stability Assist

Overall, these systems are designed to create a remarkably smooth driving experience. Plus, with features like Brake Assist and a Brake Override System, you can rest assured that this vehicle has your back.

Furthermore, the Forester offers 8.7 inches of ground clearance with a base curb weight of 3,454 pounds. As a result, you can easily navigate over rocky terrain without damaging the underside of your automobile.

Standard Passenger & Cargo Room

When you step inside the Subaru Forester, you'll find a spacious cabin that can comfortably seat five people. In fact, even your taller passengers will have enough room to stretch out, as evident in the following interior dimensions:

When it comes to loading your gear, the Forester provides up to 28.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind its second row. However, this can quickly be expanded to 74.2 cubic feet once the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats are lowered.

There's even a special underfloor cargo area to secure your most important items. Whether you're hauling a new flat-screen TV home from the store or packing up for a week at the beach, you'll arrive in comfort.

2022 Forester Cabin Amenities

Perfectly configured for the daily commute or a long-weekend road trip, the 2022 Forester places an emphasis on being a flexible family hauler. It does this by including a long list of convenient features, such as:

  • Automatic climate control system
  • Multi-function center console with storage bin
  • Tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio controls

You'll also get a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat and a 4-way manually adjustable front passenger's seat. With these seating functions, you can get comfortable and be on your way in no time at all.

Cutting-Edge Technologies

In terms of staying connected when you're out on the open road, the 2022 Forester is loaded with premium entertainment features. These include:

  • Bluetooth® audio streaming
  • HD Radio®
  • SiriusXM® All Access Satellite Radio

This vehicle also comes standard with a STARLINK™ 6.5-inch Multimedia Plus infotainment system. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ functionality, you can simply plug in your phone to the SUV's USB port to have various apps appear on the display screen. You can then send text messages, access podcasts, and more, all without needing to handle your mobile device while driving!

Plus, with the standard 4-speaker sound system, your music and other media options will come into the automobile crisp and clear.

Advanced Safety Features

EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is an advanced safety suite that comes standard in the Subaru Forester. This group of driver-assistive technologies is designed to continually monitor traffic movement and automatically adjust to help keep you out of harm's way.

Included in the EyeSight® suite are features such as:

  • Pre-Collision Braking System: Will warn you if you start getting too close to a person or vehicle. If you can't react in time, this system will apply the brakes to help avoid impact.
  • Lane Keep Assist: If you start to unintentionally drift from your lane, this system will send visual and audible alerts. It can also use gentle corrective steering to guide you back into the center of your lane.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control: Helps maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you, no matter how fast you're going. If traffic begins to slow down, this system can slow down your vehicle as well to maintain that preset distance.

With these features in place, you can have peace of mind on every drive.
