2024 Subaru Forester: Overview

The Subaru Forester has always been a popular SUV and is a top choice for families and adventure enthusiasts. So, what will the 2024 Forester bring? With the anticipated design, technology, and powertrain option updates, this next-generation model promises to be an exciting continuation of the Forester legacy. Keep reading as our team at Huffines Subaru Corinth shares more on what you can expect.

The Subaru Forester’s Current State

The Subaru Forester debuted in 1997 as a compact crossover SUV that perfectly blended practicality, safety, and performance. Over the years, the Forester has had multiple redesigns and upgrades to meet evolving consumer needs and changing automotive trends.

With the current model year (2023), the Subaru Forester stands out with its spacious cabin, excellent safety scores from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, standard EyeSight driver assist technology and impressive cargo space. Looking ahead to the anticipated design and technology updates for the 2024 model year leaves no doubt that Subaru will continue impressing drivers worldwide.

The 2024 Forester’s Redesigned Exterior and Interior

Heading into its sixth generation, we expect the 2024 Subaru Forester to undergo a complete overhaul, making it more appealing than ever. Taking cues from recent Subaru trends, the exterior will likely feature meaner-looking headlights and an increased use of black plastic cladding, giving it a bolder, more rugged appearance.

On the interior, you can expect a spacious, comfortable cabin with excellent outside visibility, perfect for families or adventurers. The 2024 Forester may include a larger 11.6-inch vertically aligned touch-screen display to improve driver convenience.

The 2024 Forester’s Enhanced Performance and Efficiency

One critique of the current-generation Forester is its slow acceleration and average fuel economy, leaving ample room for improvement. While we await official announcements from Subaru, industry experts anticipate a new powertrain offering better performance or increased fuel efficiency for this popular SUV.

Subaru plans to have electric options for every car by the 2030s, so there’s potential for a hybrid engine in line with the brand’s goal of “strong hybrids and electric vehicles” by 2025. One possibility is using the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid’s engine.

The 2024 Forester’s Advanced Safety Features

Subaru has always prioritized safety in its vehicles. The current models boast excellent safety scores and feature Subaru’s EyeSight suite of driver assist and active safety features. With a likely redesign in the 2024 Forester, you can expect hardware upgrades to the EyeSight suite and potentially new safety technologies to keep you and your passengers safe on the roads in Corinth.

The 2024 Forester’s Off-Road Capability

The Forester Wilderness trim, which Subaru introduced in 2023, has been a popular choice among adventure seekers with its raised suspension, thicker underbody skid plates, improved low-end torque response, and reprogrammed X-Mode off-road drive mode. We anticipate that the 2024 Forester will continue offering this off-road-focused trim — or something similar — providing you with even more ruggedness and capability as you explore nature’s playground.

Subaru will likely also continue enhancing the off-road capabilities of other Forester trims. With increased ground clearance and advanced all-wheel-drive systems, you can expect the 2024 Forester to be ready for any terrain.

The 2024 Forester’s Technology Upgrades

Not only do we predict the 2024 Subaru Forester will have an updated touch-screen display, but it may also come with additional tech features to keep you connected and entertained. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration will likely remain standard, while higher-end trims could offer enhanced audio systems or more USB ports for charging devices.

The 2024 Forester’s Anticipated Arrival

Though we don’t have an exact date for when the 2024 Subaru Forester will hit dealership lots, it could debut in 2023 as a 2024 model or in 2024 as a 2025 model. All we know is that if you’re a Subaru enthusiast, you’re no doubt eagerly awaiting its arrival and excited to see what this next-generation SUV will offer.

Pricing and Trim Levels: the 2024 Subaru Forester vs. the 2023 Model

While Subaru hasn’t released official pricing details for the 2024 Forester, we can make educated guesses based on the 2023 model year, giving the 2024 Forester a similar pricing structure and trim level lineup, with possible adjustments to accommodate new features or improvements, as outlined below:

• Base: This entry-level trim, starting at an MSRP of $26,495, features standard EyeSight driver assist technology, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, LED steering-responsive headlights, and a generous 74.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
• Premium: This trim starts at $29,695 and adds keyless access with a push-button start, a panoramic power moonroof, and an available power rear gate.
• Sport: This sport-focused trim, which starts at $31,265, features unique exterior accents, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alerts, and two-tone cloth upholstery.
• Limited: This luxurious trim starts at $33,375 and offers leather-trimmed upholstery and 18-inch machine-finish alloy wheels.
• Wilderness: At $34,320, Subaru introduced this trim in 2023 as an off-road-ready option that includes raised suspension (9.2 inches of ground clearance), thicker underbody skid plates, matte-black finish alloy wheels with Yokohama Geolandar all-terrain tires, water-repellent StarTex upholstery, and exclusive anodized copper-finish accents.
• Touring: As the top-tier trim with pricing from $36,795, it comes with exclusive Saddle Brown leather-trimmed upholstery (available), the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System, a 10-way power driver’s seat, an eight-way power front passenger seat, and an all-weather package with heated front and rear seats.

When the 2024 Subaru Forester arrives, we can anticipate similar trim levels with possible feature updates or pricing adjustments to reflect any enhancements.
