Spacious, High-Quality Interior with Impressive Cargo Room
The Forester offers high-quality, soft-touch materials and contrast stitching inside its stylish, comfortable cabin. There's plenty of room for everyone, too, with up to 111.9 cubic feet of passenger volume. That's more interior passenger room than the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, or Ford Escape.In back, you get up to 76.1 cubic feet of cargo space, and an extra-wide rear gate opening makes loading and unloading large items easier. A Power Rear Gate is available to allow opening and closing even when your hands are occupied, and you can open, close, and lock the entire vehicle with the touch of a button.
Built for the Long Road Ahead
The Forester will be with you on all the journeys ahead - 97% of Forester vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today - Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 can't say the same. Its long-lasting quality is one reason why the Forester has the highest residual value in its class for five years running, according to ALG, and earned both the best resale value and the lowest 5-year cost to own in its class for 2020 from Kelley Blue Book.
