Subaru Forester Specs

An SUV like the Subaru Forester is an ideal option for running errands and driving through rough weather. Is it the right vehicle for you, though? To show drivers in the Parsippany, Wayne, and Morristown areas what it's capable of, Paul Miller Subaru takes a closer look at the Subaru Forester specs to help you decide.

Performance & Fuel Economy

The 2020 Subaru Forester runs on a 2.5L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine that gets up to 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque. This works with an efficient Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Together, they'll provide you with great fuel economy, both in the city and on the Jersey turnpike, with an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway.

The Forester can also help you bring some extra cargo on your next vacation. With its 1,500-pound towing capacity, you'll be able to hook a utility trailer, a fishing boat, or a couple dirt bikes to the back of your SUV.

Subaru Forester Dimensions

The Subaru Forester is built to be both versatile and comfortable. At 182.1 inches long, it's easy to parallel park and pull a U-Turn. It offers a tight turning radius of only 35.4 feet. It's also prepared for rugged terrain. It's 8.7-inch ground clearance allows you to drive over bumpy roads and up rocky trails.

The Forester's frame measures 81.3 inches wide. This gives it an extra-wide cargo hold that features 31.1 cubic feet of space. If you need to pack more, you can use the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats to get up to 76.1 cubic feet of cargo room.

With the back seats up, the cabin features seating for five with 111.9 cubic feet of passenger room. When you're behind the wheel, you can kick back and relax with 41.2 inches of headroom and 43.3 inches of legroom. The second row gives your passengers 39.6 inches of headroom and 39.4 inches of legroom. It's also wide enough for three people to sit together comfortably with 57.2 inches of shoulder room.

Subaru Forester Safety

Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard to give you peace of mind in even the toughest driving conditions. It includes both a Traction Control System and Vehicle Dynamics Control. While they'll provide you with a stable drive, the available dual-function X-MODE® lets your SUV adapt to different kinds of terrain. It includes selectable driving modes such as Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud.

While the drivetrain keeps you in control, EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology comes standard to help you avoid accidents. It looks out for what's around your SUV using the following features:

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

If an accident does occur, you'll be protected by seven airbags. The front seats feature a driver's knee airbag, a pair of front airbags, and front-seat side-impact airbags, while a set of side-curtain airbags covers both rows of seats.
