The Subaru
Forester
Stand out in the middle of nowhere in the Subaru Forester SUV.
With looks to thrill, and the power of our 2.5L Boxer or e-Boxer engine and legendary All-Wheel Drive, the Forester SUV is designed to turn heads in the city, while navigating the rugged demands of our wild backcountry.
The SUV that recognises you
The Forester is the first Subaru that can recognise its owner (and four other drivers). You have the ability to program it to adjust to your personal cabin preferences such as seat, door mirror, air-conditioning and favourite settings just by hopping behind the wheel.
Technology that puts your family first
Like all Subarus, the Forester earned a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. With updates to our clever crash-avoidance technology EyeSight®, along with a host of vision assist features, the new Forester has an extra pair of eyes on the road ahead. And with the Driver Monitoring System when you’re out and about, the Forester can detect if you’ve taken your eyes off the road and monitor if you’re getting drowsy.
Subaru performance. SUV styling
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, an improved low-slung Boxer engine, and updated X-Mode means you don’t just get an SUV body, but all the performance benefits of a Subaru utility vehicle.
Subaru e-Boxer Hybrids on sale now
The new e-Boxer Hybrid doesn’t just handle our wild coastlines, mountainous ranges and the roads which connect them. It handles them with care.

Reviews
"What makes the Forester stand out is the advance technology and safety features in the SUV... But it’s the driver monitoring system that is the next step in safety. It uses facial recognition software in dash-mounted cameras that monitor the driver’s eyes and head for drowsiness or distraction, such as turning around to tell off the kids."
"In rougher stuff it really impresses with an unruffled ride over rocks and ridges. It's still essentially a road car underneath, but with AWD, X-Mode and impressive ground clearance (minimum 220mm), it'll go much further into the rough than most owners would be willing to take it...Forester is the real deal. And a real contender on price and equipment."
