If you're in the market for a small SUV that you can use both for commuting to work and going out on camping trips, then look no further than the 2023 Subaru Forester. It's a compact crossover that features the perfect combination of comfort and cargo space for those who plan to use it for a little bit of everything. It also has all the tech and safety features that Subaru owners have come to know and love over time.
We at Apple Subaru in York, Pennsylvania, have compiled the following information to help you discover more about what you can expect from the 2023 Subaru Forester.
Exterior
Subaru gave the Forester an overhaul last year, so you won't notice any dramatic differences between the 2022 and 2023 Subaru Foresters. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, as Subaru did an excellent job providing the Forester with a rugged look when they were redesigning it while working on the 2022 model.
From its aggressive grille to its wide body, the 2023 Subaru Forester looks like a compact crossover that can handle almost anything you throw at it. Whether you're heading out to the supermarket or the wilderness, you'll be ready for whatever the road may send in your direction.
Engine
There are six different 2023 Subaru Forester models for people to choose from, including the Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Wilderness, and Touring trims. No matter which one you decide to go with, you'll get access to the same engine, which is a 2.5-liter flat-four-cylinder engine that can produce up to 182 horsepower. Each trim will also come standard with a continuously variable automatic transmission in addition to Subaru's iconic all-wheel-drive system.
The 2023 Subaru Forester's engine might not blow you away with its power, but it'll prove to be a more than capable engine for most drivers. It'll also provide excellent fuel economy for a small SUV, as it's able to get up to 26 miles per gallon in the city and up to 33 miles per gallon on the highway. Additionally, the engine will produce a smooth, balanced ride that helps make the 2023 Subaru Forester one of the most comfortable compact crossovers around.
Interior
The 2023 Subaru Forester has a straightforward interior that is pretty much as practical as it gets. While you might be able to get access to optional features like leather upholstery and textured plastic trim in the Touring model, most of the Forester models will have few frills in them. What the interior of the 2023 Subaru Forester lacks in pizzazz, though, it more than makes up for with cargo space. It's equipped with about 27 cubic feet of cargo space regularly, and almost 75 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded down.
Technology
Each 2023 Subaru Forester comes outfitted with a touch screen infotainment system that utilizes Subaru's innovative Starlink interface. The Base, Premium, and Sport trims come with 6.5-inch touch screens, while the Limited, Wilderness, and Touring models all get 8-inch touch screens. Each 2023 Subaru Forester also comes with Apple AirPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment, and an in-dash navigation system is optional in each trim as well.
Safety
If you buy any Subaru model, you're going to feel safe when you drive around in it, thanks to Subaru's EyeSight suite of safety features. The 2023 Subaru Forester will provide you with many safety features, including automated emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.
Will the 2023 Subaru Forester Have a Turbo Engine?
Specific Subaru crossover models will provide you with a turbocharged engine that will produce more power than the engine found in the 2023 Subaru Forester. Currently, Subaru isn't offering Forester owners the opportunity to get access to a turbocharged engine in the 2023 model. That could always change in the future, but for now, Subaru is only using a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine in its Forester models.
Will the 2023 Subaru Forester Be Redesigned?
The 2023 Subaru Forester doesn't include any significant redesigns on either the interior or the exterior. It looks remarkably similar to the 2022 Forester model. But you should know that many of the features found in the 2023 Subaru Forester, including some of the safety features, have been improved compared to previous years. It's also worth pointing out again that Subaru made some significant changes to the Forester before releasing the 2022 model, and many of those redesigns have helped improve the 2023 model for the better.
How Much Is the 2023 Subaru Forester?
The price tags that you'll find on 2023 Subaru Foresters will vary quite a bit depending on which trim you would like to choose. The 2023 Subaru Forester's Base trim starts at $26,395, the Premium trim starts at $29,395, and the Sport trim starts at $30,965. The Limited trim, meanwhile, starts at $33,075, while the Wilderness trim starts at $34,020. And the top-of-the-line Touring trim starts at $36,495. These should provide the perfect price point for almost any budget.
