The Subaru Forester is a well-known vehicle in the compact crossover SUVs lineup. It's now got plenty of competition from rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5. For the 2024 model year, exterior is refreshed by the addition of blockier-looking front headlamps, a reworked grille, and new wheel designs. New trim named Wilderness is also added. The Interior is refreshed with new optional gesture controls for the climate control system and a panoramic sunroof as standard equipment on all trim. The EyeSight suite of driver-assistance features gets upgraded camera sensors and a new Automatic Emergency Steering system is also added. Subaru offers the Forester in six trim levels: Base, Premium, Limited, Touring, Wilderness, and Sport. Let's have a look at the base trim of the Forester.
