Versatility. Security. Agility.
In total harmony.
Passenger Protection
Our body structure design, with the Ring-
shaped Reinforcement Frame, is engineered to
be exceptionally strong for maximum resistance
to impact energy, while an array of airbags —all
1
standard—further help prevent injury.
Always wear seatbelts. Children should be properly

restrained in the rear seat.

Interior Versatility
Insightful features like the multifunction center
console, and the retractable rear tray 2 help keep
your stuff neatly under control. While a spacious
cargo area and a 60/40 split-folding rear
seatback make loading, hauling and handling
cargo easy.
Subaru Symmetrical AWD
With an almost perfectly symmetrical layout, our
unique all-wheel drive system offers better balance
for stability and a more efficient flow of power to all
four wheels for greater grip and control.
Exceptional Control
The balance and stability of the SUBARU BOXER
®
engine and the grip of Subaru Symmetrical AWD
help give you the power to avoid danger. That poise
is combined with VDC electronic stability control,
which can intervene to help you stay in control.

Rewarding Technology
Set your desired temperature and available
dual-zone automatic climate control will
manage your comfort, while standard iPod ®
control and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity
®
keep you connected and entertained. Add
available HD Radio™ with iTunes ® tagging and
satellite radio for even more fun on the go.
Ground Clearance
It may have the driving manners of a sedan,
but the Forester features a rugged, 4-wheel
independent suspension with up to 8.9 inches
of ground clearance—enough to allow you to
indulge your adventurous side.
