When you shift into Reverse, the camera displays a live colour image on the head unit display along with guidelines to making parking easy. Plus, a rear view camera washer washes dirt off the lens to ensure a clear view.
Centre Console Box
The centre console box compartment is large enough to store your electronic devices like small tablets. There’s also a 12V power socket inside for your convenience.
Side Sill Steps
The rear side sill steps are wider, flatter, and have a slip-resistant surface for convenient roof rail use.
Cargo Features
The 12V power supply, rear seat folding switch, and bag hooks are consolidated in the same area for ease of use. The cargo net hooks are installed in the four corners of the cargo area for convenient luggage net use.

SUBARU BOXER Engine
A boxer engine, or a horizontally opposed engine, is an engine configuration in which its pistons move toward each other in a horizontal direction.
Subaru has been committed to the SUBARU BOXER engine for over 50 years for its many advantages over other engine types, providing durability and reliable performance in its vehicles.
Increased Stability
The low centre of gravity and flat design give it better side-to-side stability than other engine types.
Naturally Balanced
The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and self-balancing, generating less vibration than other engine types.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD distributes power to all wheels for better traction on wet and slippery roads.
Laid out in a horizontally symmetrical plane, this system has a well-balanced low centre of gravity design for a more stable and safer ride.
Lineartronic + Active Torque Split AWD
Lineartronic adjusts to any ratio in its range for smooth and stepless gear changes that keep the engine in its most efficient range for efficient and smooth acceleration, driving performance and better fuel efficiency.
It comes paired with Subaru’s active torque split AWD system.Its default torque is well-balanced front to rear and adjusts in response to real-time traction conditions.
Subaru Global Platform
The Subaru Global Platform (SGP) is the underlying platform that will underpin the next generation of Subaru vehicles. Enhancing all-around safety and performance, it goes beyond better
performance to offer a driving feel you can only find in a Subaru. It’s the future of Subaru—and delivers even more enjoyment and peace of mind to all drivers and passengers.
X-MODE
The Forester gives you total driving confidence with its fun-to-drive nature, responsive handling, and outstanding ride comfort. Balanced and stable around turns even with its SUV height, the Forester was carefully engineered to reduce fatigue on extended
adventures for an enjoyable driving experience for all. And with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the improved X-MODE standard on all models, you can reach your destination with comfort and peace of mind.
SUBARU FORESTER
Ready for Anything.
Do All the Things You Always Wanted to Do.
Visibility in all directions
Optimal driving position, window heights, and carefully arranged pillars provide excellent visibility in all directions to reduce blind spots, letting you easily check your surroundings.
Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection (SRVD)*2
Sensors placed in the rear corners of the vehicle alert you of vehicles in your rear blind spots for safer lane changes. It also warns you of potential collision danger while driving in reverse into a street with cross traffic.
Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH)
These headlights operate interconnectedly with steering input and vehicle speed to aim your lights in the direction your vehicle is turning, helping you see better around corners for safer nighttime driving.
Vehicle Dynamics Control System + Active Torque Vectoring
Vehicle Dynamics Control System adjusts AWD torque distribution, engine output, and brakes at each wheel to help keep the vehicle on course. And with Active Torque Vectoring, brakes are applied and less torque is distributed to the inside wheels and more to the outside wheels for more precise handling, helping you make sharp turns when necessary.
Auto Vehicle Hold
When the vehicle is at a complete stop, Auto Vehicle Hold keeps the vehicle in place even when the brake pedal is released, reducing driver fatigue in stop-and-go traffic.
Hazard Avoidance
Made possible by the SGP and Symmetrical AWD, the lower centre of gravity design, enhanced suspension system, and rigidity improvements provide a vehicle that responds immediately when evasive actions are taken, helping avoid hazards on the road.
Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame
The Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame makes better use of high-tensile steel panels and has been structurally redesigned for more efficient energy absorption from impacts in all directions.
Cabin-protecting Layout
The reinforced pillars and frame all work together within the Forester’s SGP design to absorb collision impact from all sides to protect all passengers. In the event of a frontal collision, the engine and gearbox are designed to be pushed below the vehicle instead of crashing into the cabin.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)* Airbags
Front SRS* airbags, front side SRS* airbags, curtain SRS* airbags, and a knee SRS* airbag come standard on the Forester to give all passengers a higher level of protection in the event of a collision.
EyeSight
EyeSight*1, Subaru’s cutting-edge driving support system, works like a second pair of eyes for the road ahead, using a pair of stereo cameras to capture colour images with excellent image recognition—nearly

Adaptive Cruise Control
When it senses a vehicle in front, Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead by continuously monitoring the distance and speed difference and adjusting the engine, transmission, and brakes to keep your speed in line with traffic flow from about 0 km/h to 180 km/h. Designed for use on freeways, highways, and similar roads, it can detect a lead vehicle and its brake lamps to keep pace in stop-and-go highway traffic, reducing fatigue on long drives.
Lane Sway and Departure Warning
At speeds of about 60 km/h or more, Lane Sway Warning helps you stay alert with a buzzer and flashing indicator if it detects lane drift or sway. At speeds of about 50 km/h or more, Lane Departure Warning sends you a buzzer alert and flashing indicator when it detects lane departure without signaling.
Lead Vehicle Start Alert
When you’re at a stop and traffic starts moving again, Lead Vehicle Start Alert prompts you to take action with a buzzer and a flashing indicator.
Pre-Collision Braking System*2
Pre-Collision Braking can warn you with a buzzer and flashing indicator when it senses an impending collision with an obstacle in front. If no evasive action is taken, the system can apply the brakes to avoid or reduce frontal impact. If evasive action is taken, the system can help the driver apply full braking force.
Pre-Collision Throttle Management
When there is an object in front and you put the gear in Drive instead of Reverse, Pre-Collision Throttle Management can alert you with a buzzer and a flashing indicator, and cuts engine power to minimise possible impact force and frontal damage.
