Appearance

The compact Forester crossover SUV has a tall profile with subtly angled design lines and smooth doors. The classic Subaru grille stretches wide and sits above a geometric fascia. Sharp-angled fog light ports flank this fascia. The LED headlights have a fascinating look with a diamond-like shape and a wraparound light ribbon that spins off on one side. The Outback is a wagon-like crossover with a pinstripe accent line on the door panels and enhanced molding over the wheel wells and door panels. Molding also rises up on the nose to connect with the modern LED headlights. The Outback also shows off the classic Subaru grille, styled with a metallic mesh pattern. The fog lamps are circular and are integrated with the narrow bumper.
