2020 Subaru Forester Review

The Subaru Forester is a stylish SUV with rugged capabilities. It's a smart choice for both families and commuters who want to pack lots of cargo and conquer trails and winter weather. How do you know if it's the right SUV for you?

Paul Miller Subaru helps drivers near Parsippany, Wayne, and Morristown decide by looking at what it has to offer in this 2020 Subaru Forester review.

2020 Forester: Specs & Capability

The Subaru Forester runs on a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine that gets up to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. With this type of output, you'll be able to tow up to 1,500 pounds, so you can bring a utility trailer or some recreational vehicles along for the ride.

Feel free to take your cargo over tough terrain, too. The Forester has an 8.7-inch ground clearance and comes with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Plus, the available X-MODE® gives you selectable driving modes, like Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud, to adjust to your driving conditions.

On top of its versatility, the Subaru Outback can also provide you with reliable fuel economy. The Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) delivers efficient shifting that helps it get up to an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway.

Subaru Forester: Interior Dimensions

Inside the Subaru Forester, you'll find comfortable seating for up to five people. Both cloth and leather seats are available with lots of room to stretch out. There's 111.9 cubic feet of passenger space, including 41.2 inches of legroom up front and 39.6 inches of rear legroom.

You'll also have lots of room in the trunk. There's an extra-wide rear gate opening that makes packing up easy. If you need to pack more, you can use the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats to create up to 76.1 cubic feet of cargo room.

Safety Features of the 2020 Subaru Forester

In addition to its standard all-wheel drive, the 2020 Subaru Forester gives you peace of mind with seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag and side curtain airbags that cover both rows of seats. The interior also keeps passengers safe with front seatbelt pretensioners and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) in the back seats.

You'll also have lots of awareness during your drive. For example, the Rear-Vision Camera lets you check behind your SUV when you're backing up. The standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology system can help prevent accidents before they occur with features such as:

• Pre-Collision Braking System
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control

For an even more reliable drive, there are more driver-assistance features available, including the DriverFocus™ Distraction Mitigation System. It monitors how you're driving and reminds you to keep your eyes on the road if it detects that you're drowsy or distracted.
