Ultra-versatile,
capable and adventurous

Athletic and adventurous, the 2023 Subaru Forester features a muscular, aggressive, yet aerodynamically sculpted design. The bold front fascia, front grille, bumper, under guard, fog light surrounds and LED headlights combine to create a powerful first impression. The stylish rear fascia and distinctive LED tail light assembly emphasize the high ground clearance. The wide stance speaks to a planted and more dynamic driving experience and the generous glass area provides a commanding view of the road ahead. The Forester Wilderness™ takes things even further with higher ground clearance, more rugged body cladding, underbody skid plates, a rubber rear bumper step pad and an even tougher-looking front grille and bumper. As with past Foresters, the 2023 Subaru Forester continues to make a bold statement that’s well-suited to an incredibly capable compact SUV.

Auto-dimming Power-adjustable Mirrors

These available auto-dimming side mirrors are designed for superior visibility, heated to keep the glass surface clear and foldable to prevent damage in tight spaces. The mirrors are also aerodynamically sculpted to reduce wind noise and boost fuel efficiency. For vehicles equipped with the optional Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection (SRVD) system, the LED indicators are relocated on the mirror housing for even better visibility. The Limited and Premier trim levels also have an auto-tilt feature for the passenger-side mirror that kicks in when reversing.

Panoramic Sunroof

This generation of the Forester features an available large power sunroof and increased headroom compared to previous generations. This means that even tall passengers have space to enjoy the panoramic view of the sky above and the fresh air rolling in. For extra-hot days, a manual sunshade blocks the sun and helps keep the cabin cool.

Power Liftgate

Featured on the Touring trim level and above, the power liftgate can be operated via the key fob, allowing for quick and easy access to the cargo area. This innovative design also features an auto-close function, an integrated safety sensor that detects objects in its path and a stop-position memory function to set the opening height. On the Sport trim level and above, there’s also an LED cargo light on the liftgate, allowing you to see more clearly at night.

Aluminum Alloy Wheels

There are five different aluminum alloy wheel packages available on the 2023 Subaru Forester. The Touring trim features daring 6-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels with a machined finish. The Sport trim level features bold and adventurous 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels with gunmetal painted finish. The Forester Wilderness™ showcases rugged 5-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels with a matte black painted finish. The Limited trim level has stunning 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels with machined finish. Lastly, the Premier trim level rolls on spectacular 5-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels with a black and machined finish.

2023 Forester LED Steering Responsive Headlight.

LED Headlights

These LED headlights, designed to project a much bolder look, are standard equipment on all Forester trim levels. On the automatic setting, the headlights turn on under low-light conditions, casting a whiter and brighter beam for greater visibility. All models also feature Steering Responsive Headlights, which follow the direction of the vehicle while cornering.

Fog Lights

There’s no doubt about it: The better your lights, the more you see. On the Touring and Limited trim levels, multi-reflector halogen fog lights cut through murky conditions, improve nighttime discernibility and boost levels of active safety. The Sport trim level features vertical LED fog lights, the Premier trim level has round LED fog lights with two bulbs and the new Forester Wilderness™ gets round LEDs with six bulbs in a hexagonal pattern. All LED fog lights feature a brighter, wider beam for improved visibility.
