Interior Design
Inside the cabin, the Forester focuses on comfort and quietness. The ring-shaped reinforcement frame, noise dampening materials, and insulated glass work together to reduce road noise and vibration. Heated seats are included for added comfort during cold weather. Some trims also offer a 10-way power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support and available memory settings. Dual-zone automatic climate control allows the driver and front passenger to set their own preferred temperature. The rear seats feature a 60/40 split-folding design, making it easy to expand the cargo area when carrying larger items. Additional storage space is available in the centre console and other practical areas throughout the cabin.
Performance
Powering the 2024 Subaru Forester is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with dual overhead cam and direct injection. This engine produces 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT and the brand’s symmetrical full-time all-wheel-drive system. This setup helps deliver smooth performance and strong traction on different road surfaces.

A centrally mounted 6.3-inch multi-function colour display provides useful information such as time, temperature, vehicle data, and navigation details.
