The all-new Subaru Forester features a design reminiscent of the classic BMW X1, with its bold curves and relatively low roof giving it a sturdy, masculine, and contemporary appearance. However, some have criticized this new design for lacking charisma.
One notable aspect is the noticeable resemblance between the 2024 Forester and its Toyota RAV4 competitor, as evidenced by the square wheel arches and subtle folds on the D-pillars.
Meanwhile, the front of the new Forester boasts a square-shaped design, highlighted by a wider grille, enhanced headlights, and a slender LED daytime running light strip.
At the rear, the taillights have been reimagined with a more conventional style, featuring transparent lenses neatly connected by a black strip.
Inside, the all-new Forester boasts an infotainment system with a prominent vertical touchscreen on the dashboard, accompanied by a minimal number of physical control buttons. The base version incorporates a 7-inch screen, while higher-end models benefit from an expansive 11.6-inch screen, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Notably, the 2024 Forester retains analog gauges, reminiscent of the previous generation, instead of completely switching to digital instrument clusters. The leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel comes integrated with convenient control buttons.
Furthermore, all versions of the 2024 Forester are equipped with a panoramic sunroof and a power-adjustable rear trunk, conveniently operable through a foot sensor.
Powering the Subaru Forester 2024 is a 2.5L 4-cylinder boxer engine. While the maximum power has slightly decreased by 2 horsepower to 180 horsepower, the maximum torque has increased from 239 Nm to 241 Nm. Additionally, the new Forester benefits from a 10% stiffer frame structure and an electric power steering system inherited from the sporty WRX sedan.
Furthermore, the 2024 Forester boasts an improved EyeSight package, offering a wider field of view and enhanced detection capabilities for cyclists and pedestrians.
The base and Premium versions of the Forester come equipped with smaller 17-inch wheels, while the Limited version features larger 18-inch wheels. The Sport and Touring versions stand out with their 19-inch wheels, which are finished in a striking bronze color for the Sport variant.
