Used Subaru Forester for Sale

What's New in the 2021 Subaru Forester?

For 2018, Subaru introduces a new Black Edition package for the 2.5i Premium model. Black Edition Foresters include black wheels and trim, steering-responsive LED headlights, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and four paint choices: Crystal Black Silica, Dark Gray Metallic, Crystal White Pearl and Ice Silver Metallic. The Forester 2.0XT gains standard torque-vectoring technology, while Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist system and navigation are made standard on the Touring trim. Models equipped with EyeSight also gain automatic high-beam assist and reverse auto braking.  See the 2018 Subaru Forester models for sale near you

Which Forester is the Best?

If fuel economy and some modest creature comforts top your shopping list, the 2.5i Premium with the CVT, the All-Weather package and a power rear liftgate would be our pick. On the other hand, if power and performance are paramount, then the turbocharged 2.0XT would be our choice. Inexplicably, Subaru doesn't offer EyeSight or navigation on the 2.0XT Premium trim, which means if you want either you'll have to move up to the 2.0XT Touring. However, once you reach the Touring trim level, be prepared to pay a premium on par with what you'd pay for a similarly equipped Outback.  Find a Subaru Forester for sale
