Design
Compared to its direct competitors, the Subaru Forester looks quite simple. But this crossover has best-in-class visibility, which is provided by wide glazing all around. The Japanese model is equipped with a raised hood that rests on large LED head optics. The compact radiator grille is complemented by a small air intake, which is protected by a plastic trim.
Forester is characterized by a rather dynamic profile. At the rear of the Japanese model there are headlights of a non-standard shape with a “cutout” located on the side of the convex luggage compartment door. At the rear, it is also worth noting the presence of a pronounced rear wing and a massive bumper with metal protection at the bottom.
The shortcomings of the exterior are offset by the Forester’s interior, finished with high-quality materials and equipped with technologically advanced equipment. The interior of the crossover is decorated with two displays at once. One screen located on top of the front panel displays a picture from the rear camera and a navigation map. Below it is a touch monitor of the multimedia complex. The latter protrudes above the climate control unit.
An interesting feature of the Forester is that the backrests of the rear sofa, when folded, form a flat surface with the trunk floor. And the front seats are complemented by noticeable lateral support.
