You’ll want a high-performance vehicle to make your treks into the wilderness genuinely exhilarating. The Forester Wilderness is that and so much more. We’ll kick off things under the hood, where you’ll find its powerful 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque.

As for the drivetrain, you’ll be treated to the legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which will help with traction on any road or terrain. The unique dual-function X-MODE® offers a Deep Snow/Mud setting to optimize traction on off-road paths. There’s also 9.2 inches of ground clearance, so you can clear big boulders and fallen trees that stand in your way.

If you’re taking a trailer with you, the Forester Wilderness provides standard Trailer Stability Assist to help you stay in full control. This is in addition to its 3,000-pound maximum towing capacity.

Style meets performance with the Subaru Forester Wilderness. When it’s bright, and the sun is glaring down on you, the Forester Wilderness can absorb that light with its matte black anti-glare hood finish, which makes for better daytime visibility.

Speaking of matte black, the standard all-terrain tires with 17-inch matte black alloy wheels will pop any time of day.

The spacious cabin features a maximum cargo capacity of 69.1 cubic feet, so toss in your camping and climbing gear. Do you have your new rooftop tent? The standard raised roof rails come with Anodized Copper finishes, and they can hold 800 pounds of static weight. You could say you’re living the high life from up there.

Staying comfortable and entertained inside your vehicle is essential regardless of where you’re going or what you’re doing. Unique to the Forester Wilderness are the StarTex® water-repellent seats. Whether it’s mud, sand, or a spill from your morning cup of joe, they can be cleaned with ease. The front seats are also heated and can be adjusted 10 ways, so you can personalize your comfort.

The Wilderness is one of only three Forester trims to come standard with a dual-zone automatic climate control system. This will make both you and your front-seat passenger happy. They’ll be able to set their individual temperature to stay ideally cozy.

If you’re looking for entertainment, you’ll find it in the Forester Wilderness. An 8-inch infotainment screen has Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities that allow you to access your music and podcasts seamlessly. Plus, an available 9-speaker premium audio system by Harman Kardon® will let you blast your tunes as loudly as you want.
