From the leather steering wheel and gear shift, to the heated front seats on selected variants. Rear passengers enjoy reclining seats, while the one touch electronic folding rear seats create a mountain of extra cargo space in the boot.

Voice commands let you effortlessly choose playlists, play podcasts, get directions and send texts. Or leave the song selection to someone else with the crystal-clear, fully integrated DAB + Digital Radio* so every road trip rocks. Turn it up.
Is your SUV up to the Outback?
Discover a world of spontaneous trips driven by Subaru Forester’s design appeal and unrestrained attitude. See more and be seen with the high visibility of striking LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED front fog lights. The bold black front bumper, grille and front fog lights surrounds reflect Forester’s robustness, while selected variants boast a large electric sunroof. The rear is highlighted with a sporty Crystal Black rear spoiler and striking 18" alloy wheels with 5-spoke silver design for Subaru Forester 2.5i-S AWD and Forester Hybrid S AWD variants.

Your safety is our priority
For generations, Forester has put safety first, front to back. And the Forester takes protecting your family to another level. Revolutionary facial recognition technology monitors the driver’s attention*, Reverse Automatic Braking* detects trouble you don’t see coming, and EyeSight® Driver Assist acts as a second set of eyes on the road. And that’s just the beginning.
Subaru Driver Monitoring System
Distractions can happen at any moment, just ask any parent. Forester’s revolutionary Driver Monitoring System* uses tech to keep you tuned in to the road. Driver Focus uses a camera to monitor the driver for signs of fatigue or distraction and warns them if it detects that the driver is not focused or keeping their eyes on the road ahead, for whatever reason. Forester's Driver Monitoring System* also features advanced temperature adjustment, allowing you to have complete control of the temperature through simple hand gestures. This amazing feature helps you stay focused on the journey ahead.
Subaru Vision Assist
Subaru’s Vision Assist can give drivers a greater awareness of the world around them. Using EyeSight® Assist Monitor, lights are projected onto the lower windscreen to alert the driver when the various safety functions are engaged. Blind Spot Monitor uses rear sensors to make lane changes safer, by warning of vehicles detected in the blind spot. Meanwhile, Lane Change Assist can detect fast approaching vehicles from behind in the adjacent traffic lane and warn the driver of their presence. Rear Cross Traffic Alert can warn the driver that another car is approaching when reversing out of a parking space. Meanwhile, if the vehicle sensors detects an obstacle behind the vehicle while reversing, Reverse Automatic Braking* on selected variants can apply braking if the driver doesn’t react first. Front View Monitor* on selected variants uses a grille mounted camera to capture images of the area in front of the vehicle to help avoid damage when parking. Side View Monitor* on selected variants uses a camera in the passenger door mirror to show the distance of the front passenger side of the vehicle from the kerb or a parked vehicle. Meanwhile, Adaptive Driving Beam* on selected variants automatically adjusts the headlight beam to prevent dazzling other detected nearby road users, while maintaining a high level of light and visibility.
Subaru Global Platform
An overwhelming feeling of protection is underpinned by Subaru Forester’s carefully engineered body structure and Subaru Global Platform (SGP), including the ring-shaped passenger safety cell. The ring-shaped passenger safety cell that cocoons occupants has been designed to absorb and direct the impact of a collision around the cabin, rather than through it. Meanwhile, the symmetrical layout of the All-Wheel Drive system and horizontally-opposed Boxer engine is designed to allow the engine to ‘submarine’ under the floor during a severe frontal collision – protecting the cabin’s occupants. In addition, the chassis structure has been engineered to include crushable zones, absorbing collision energy to effectively protect passengers. While Subaru can’t control every variable on the road, the inclusion of seven SRS* airbags in Subaru Forester can help reduce the possibility of serious injury in the event of a serious accident.
Subaru Financial Services*
When you fall in love and know it’s the one, you don’t want to wait. So why should you? Subaru Financial Services* brings you and your Subaru together, faster. It’s like a Vegas wedding, with a bit more class and a lot better with numbers. And the only thing better than your new Subaru, is your next one.

X-mode
When your adventures go off-road, simply engage Subaru’s intelligent X-Mode at the push on a button. X-Mode is designed to help you safely negotiate bad roads, uneven surfaces and inclines with confidence; while the Hill Descent Control function provides improved grip and traction in low speed and slippery conditions. By constantly monitoring the traction available to each wheel and centralising control of the engine, transmission, brakes and other components; X-Mode delivers uncompromising performance in challenging terrain.
Hybrid Hero
From the moment you press the accelerator, the Subaru Forester Hybrids express ingenuity. Boasting intelligent electric/petrol hybrid technology, the Subaru e-Boxer combination delivers better low-speed acceleration and torque combined with super responsive handling, impressive driving efficiency and lower fuel consumption. The dynamic plug-free hybrids seamlessly team power from a compact battery and quiet electric motor, with the petrol engine for the ultimate in driving efficiency.
All-round visibility
Discovering more, means being open to seeing more, from the cabin of Subaru Forester which has been engineered for superior driver visibility. See every trip through clearer eyes thanks to the open glasshouse cabin design, slender pillars, minimal blind spots, and airy sunroof which lets in plenty of light. Plus, because life is unpredictable, cameras even let you see behind you to help ensure everyone’s safety
Equipped for ease
Whether travelling light, or with a family-sized load, Subaru Forester makes light work of packing more into every trip. Secure your gear with cargo hooks and cargo ceiling hooks, plus handy pull-out cargo area tie down points. Take advantage of the 60/40 split folding rear seats to create more flexibility and cargo space. Forester boasts a generous cargo volume of 498 litres or 1060 litres with the rear seats folded down, with up to 509 and 1071 respectively in Forester Hybrid variants. There are Isofix child restraint anchor points for easy, secure attachment of child seats and a sturdy, retractable cargo blind to keep all your gear out of sight.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Gravel. Bitumen. Dirt. Exploring new routes and off‑road tracks is full of unpredictable road conditions, however you’re always on the right track with Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All‑Wheel Drive system to keep you grounded.
Subaru Global Platform
The Subaru Global Platform has been engineered to optimise steering response for enhanced cornering and handling, thanks to the increased rigidity and lower centre of gravity. The inherent stability increases Forester’s performance, comfort and safety, while the platform decreases noise and vibration for a quieter ride and soothing cabin environment.
Track your road style
On slick city streets or outback roads, every Subaru Forester is driven by a distinctive look. With seven dynamic variants, each Forester features modern alloy wheels offering a striking balance of style and robust performance. Contemporary silver 17" alloys distinguish the Subaru Forester 2.5i AWD, Forester 2.5i‑L AWD and Forester Hybrid L AWD, while 18" silver alloys adorn Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium AWD. Subaru Forester 2.5i‑S AWD and Forester Hybrid S AWD express their style with 18" alloy wheels with a striking 5‑spoke, silver design. The Subaru Forester 2.5i Sport...

Forester’s LED Steering Responsive Headlights follow every turn, and the hawk‑eye shaped headlights brilliantly illuminate what’s in front of you, giving you more time to react.

The Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) is the minimum future value of your vehicle as determined by Subaru Financial Services (SFS) and set out in your contract. At the end of the term, you can select from three options: (1) sell or trade in the vehicle and repay your loan balance; (2) return the vehicle to us; or (3) retain the vehicle by paying the GFV amount, which is a lump sum amount owed to us at the end of the loan term. Total interest payable on the loan will be higher than a loan with no GFV. Monthly repayments will be lower compared to a similar loan term with no GFV or no equivalent balloon final payment. Available on new and demonstrator Subaru vehicles for selected models only. Vehicle eligibility is subject to change. If you decide to return your car at the end of your term, SFS, or another person or entity with SFS's agreement will purchase the vehicle from you for the GFV, which will be applied to reduce your outstanding loan amount. However, you will need to pay us an additional amount if the vehicle is damaged or you have travelled excess kilometres. Terms, conditions, fees and charges apply. Approved applicants only.
