2017 Subaru Forester

 What's New for the 2017 Subaru Forester?

Perhaps the most notable change for the 2017 Forrester is the addition of brake-based torque vectoring, a safety mechanism that automatically corrects for understeer. This feature is unique among the crossover class and truly sets the Forrester apart from its competitors. And speaking of safety features, the 2017 model year has been updated with the new version of Subaru's Eye Sight system, incorporating driver assist technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and departure warning, blind-spot detection, forward-collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The distinctive look of the Forrester has only been slightly altered with this refresh, which adds a new hexagonal grille, LED accent lights in both the front and rear of the car, and a new wheel design. The interior features a reshaped steering wheel and improved insulation, resulting in a hushed, soothing ride.

Minor revisions to the engine and transmission result in better fuel economy for the Forrester, with 26/32 city/highway miles per gallon compared to 24/32 mpg for last year's model.

Off-roading capability is another attribute that makes the Forester unique among its class. Drivers who plan to take their new crossover out on the trails will be happy to note that X-Mode traction system and hill-descent control are now standard equipment on all CVT-driven Premium, Limited, and Touring models.
