Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a cornerstone of the Subaru brand, and the Forester Limited is equipped with an extensive array of protective technologies.

Additional features like Active Torque Vectoring, Brake assist, and Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH) contribute to a confident and secure driving experience in any environment.

Elegant Exterior and Purposeful Design

The exterior of the Forester Limited is finished in a striking Crimson Red Pearl, a color that exudes sophistication and depth. The design is highlighted by 18-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, giving the vehicle a planted and premium stance. The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) are directionally adaptive, illuminating corners as you turn, while the LED front fog lights and LED daytime running lights ensure maximum visibility and a modern lighting signature.

Practicality meets style with the inclusion of Roof rails and a Rear lip spoiler, enhancing both the utility and aerodynamics of the SUV. The Active grille shutters optimize airflow for improved efficiency, and the Heated door mirrors with integrated Turn signal indicators add both safety and convenience.
