Design & Performance

Design

The design of the Forester is just like other Subaru SUVs, a wagon-like body on an SUV frame. This results in ground vehicles offering a higher ground clearance than Wexford or Gibson shoppers might expect. Head into the cabin, and you'll find the Wilderness, which is just like every other Forester model. It has a good driving position, great outward visibility, and a nicely finished cabin. The back seat is plenty spacious, offering enough room for adults. The expansive cargo area offers room for 11 carry-on suitcases and 23 with the back seats folded.

Performance

Every Subaru Forester, including the Wilderness, is powered by a 2.5-liter flat-four-cylinder engine that produces 182 horsepower and 176 lbs. of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard and routes the engine's power to Subaru's all-wheel-drive system. However, unlike other Forester models with a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, the Wilderness has increased towing to 3,000 pounds. According to the EPA, every Forester has an estimated fuel economy of around 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Technology

Equipped in every Forester model is a touchscreen infotainment system using Subaru's latest Starlink interface. While a 6.5-inch display is standard, the Wilderness offers a larger eight-inch unit. Two USB ports are offered in the front, while two more are optional for the back console. Navigation is also optional, but Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and onboard Wi-Fi via a 4G LTE data connection is standard.

Safety Features

To ensure you stay safe as you traverse the street of Wilderness near Cranberry Township, Subaru has outfitted the Forester Wilderness with LED fog lights and a front skid plate. Every model also comes with Subaru's EyeSight suite of camera-based driver-assistance features. These include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Crosstrek and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Forester back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
