The Forester line features two versions of the advanced X-MODE^® system, which allows you to tackle the steepest of inclines with increased confidence. On the standard version, the dial controls the operation of the VDC and X-MODE^® system. On the available dual-function version, this dial lets you select between two settings tailored to specific driving conditions—namely, snow/dirt and deep snow/mud. The dual-function X-MODE^® is available on the Sport model trim and above.

There’s been no stone unturned in the design and engineering of the interior of the Forester. The Subaru Global Platform and ring-shaped reinforcement frame structure combine to reduce noise and create a surprising amount of space for all passengers. Advanced aerodynamics, plenty of noise dampening material and the use of sound-insulating glass combine to create a quiet and peaceful passenger cabin. The seats are very supportive, the surfaces feature abundant soft-touch materials and there’s a range of very engaging infotainment systems available. This is your home away from home.

Standard on all Forester models, EyeSight^® is an award-winning driver assistance system that uses two cameras to monitor the road ahead, identify hazards and assist the driver when he needs it most. The system includes several functions: Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Pre-Collision Throttle Management, Lane Centering Assist, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, Lane Keep Assist and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.
