A Cabin Designed Around Comfort and Visibility
One thing drivers notice right away about the Subaru Forester interior is how open and airy it feels. Subaru has long prioritized outward visibility, and the Forester continues that tradition with large windows and a spacious feel throughout the cabin. Front legroom is an impressive 43.3” and rear-seat passengers get an impressive 39.4” to go with up to 41.2” of headroom—a little less if you opt for the panoramic moonroof, but hey, you get a panoramic moonroof. Whether you're a driver or a rear-seat passenger, there's a sense of roominess that's hard to overlook in this class.Accessibility and ease of use are top priorities in the Forester. The upright seating position makes it easy to get in and out—a small consideration that makes a big difference. Wide door openings, an extra-wide rear gate opening, and an available foot-activated rear gate all contribute to a hassle-free experience. The setup is especially helpful for families or anyone who spends a lot of time on the road.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
The Forester's interior also delivers on the technology front. Up to an 11.6” touchscreen serves as the hub for navigation, audio, and wireless phone connectivity, giving you easy access to the features you use most. Available wireless charging adds to the cord-clutter-free spaciousness of the cabin. Connected Navigation is available, giving you live, real-time routes, while the available Harman Kardon® premium sound system immerses you in your playlists wherever the road takes you. Subaru's driver-focused layout means controls are positioned within natural reach, so you're not searching for buttons while you're driving. For drivers in Idaho Falls, ID, who deal with varied road and weather conditions throughout the year, having intuitive controls can make a real difference.Safety Technology Built Into Every Drive
With a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA, the Forester’s interior reflects Subaru’s commitment to safety in every aspect of your drive. The Forester is equipped with EyeSight® driver-assistance technology that helps protect everyone onboard, and Subaru's engineering team has put a great deal of thought into how safety systems are integrated without overwhelming the driver. EyeSight® uses dual-color stereo cameras to give you extra awareness and step in when you need it most. Core features include Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warning, Pre-Collision Throttle Management, and Adaptive Cruise Control, all of which guide you and your vehicle, provide alerts to hazards, and can brake or gently steer to help avoid accidents. More features are available to back you up. This focus on protection is part of why families consistently return to the Subaru brand year after year. The Forester's interior layout supports clear sightlines and minimizes distractions, which complements the vehicle's active safety features.Cargo Space and Everyday Practicality
The Forester’s interior shines when it comes to versatile cargo capacity. Even when you have a full house of passengers, you’ll have at least 27.5 cu. ft. of space in the rear cargo area for everyday stuff like groceries and sports gear. That expands to a max of 74.4 cu. ft. with the rear seats folded, accessible by that extra-wide rear gate with available hands-free activation.The Forester’s long trim list means you have plenty of choices when it comes to materials, amenities, and add-ons. From durable cloth upholstery to sumptuous leather, available heated and ventilated seats, reclining rear seats, a multi-function center console, and dual-zone climate control are all on the table for you. The Forester Wilderness trim takes that practical foundation and adds rugged styling for drivers who want to push a little further off the beaten path.
