Exterior Styling

The 2024 Subaru Forester has gorgeous styling. It has a spirited profile with both a professional and a fashion-forward look, letting it fit in in most scenarios. The Forester has an active stance, making it look like it is ready to take off on an adventure. The aerodynamic design comes toward the front fascia, which points toward the center, emphasizing that forward-facing look. The headlights, fog lights, and air intakes all point toward the center, where the small, hexagonal grille is accented by a slim bar and the Subaru logo. 

Black cladding runs the length of the vehicle, including over the wheel wells. There are black door handles and black roof rails, leading to a small rear spoiler. The rear end includes a claw-shaped tail light reaching in toward the center, as well as black cladding around the window and along the bottom edge.

The Premium trim level includes 17-inch aluminum-alloy dark metallic wheels with a machine finish. The wheels are wrapped in all-season tires. The Premium trim also adds LED fog lights to the steering-responsive LED headlights. Instead of black folding mirrors, the Premium trim comes with dark gray folding side mirrors for a sophisticated look. 

Other exterior upgrades on the Premium trim level include a panoramic power moonroof, heated side mirrors, and windshield wiper de-icer.

The Premium trim level also includes Subaru Intelligent Drive, or SI-DRIVE, which enables two modes for vehicle performance by regulating the engine control unit and the transmission control unit. The SI-DRIVE also adjusts the electronically controlled throttle to fine tune the performance.
