There is no vehicle segment around Belmont and Rockford in greater demand than the compact SUV. One of the models that is taking the market by storm is the Subaru Forester, a dynamic compact model that truly offers the total package.
The Subaru Forester is a two-row compact SUV that sits up to five people. Its strengths revolve around its spacious interior, driver-friendly fuel economy, and smooth handling.
It also features satisfying performance, a wealth of standard features, state-of-the-art driver-assistance technology, and trim level options that feel substantial. On top of it all, the next-generation 2020 Subaru Forester is endowed with the same legendary DNA that has made the brand so popular, headlined by its Boxer Engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
Under the hood, the 2020 Forester is powered by a 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer engine that comes paired to a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This powertrain produces a performance output of 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque alongside a fuel economy of 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.
Augmenting the Forester's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is its hill descent control feature as well as X-Mode. X-Mode is designed to limit the slip in the tires by leveraging five different forms of control.
The 2020 Subaru Forester comes loaded with standard technology features thanks in large part to the Starlink infotainment system. It's controlled via a 6.5-inch touchscreen that is installed with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your favorite music and podcasts come through with a crystal clear fidelity on the Forester's four-speaker sound system as will the standard HD Radio and satellite radio. Rounding out the rest of the standard features.
As you might expect, you also have the option to add on several available features to create a more comprehensive experience. These option add-ons include a larger tablet-like eight-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, an upgraded nine-speaker sound system by Harmon Kardon, a navigation system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
When it comes to safety, the 2020 Subaru Forester doesn't mess around. A rear-seat reminder and rearview camera comprise the base features, but Grandville drivers will also have access to EyeSight Driver Assist Technology right off the bat. This suite of features is comprised of adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, pre-collision throttle management, lane departure and sway warning, lane departure prevention, and lead vehicle start alert.
Higher trim levels unlock even more safety features that serve to augment the core package. These features include blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking. Another highlight is the high-level Subaru Forester Touring trim coming with DriverFocus, which tracks drivers for signs of fatigue or sleepiness.
Despite its compact body size, owners and lessees will be impressed with the surprising amount of size that the 2020 Subaru Forester brings to the table. Behind its back row, the Forester features 35.4 cubic feet of space that multiplies to 76.1 cubic feet when you fold down the 60/40 split-folding seats.
The Forester also sits very tall thanks in large part to a ground clearance of 8.7 inches, which serves it well when off-roading. Towing is also a strength as the Subaru Forester, when properly equipped, can tow up to 1,500 pounds.
The 2020 Subaru Forester comes in five different trim levels, and they are as follows:
