4 New Subaru Forester Features You Need To Know About
The all-new fifth-generation 2019 Subaru Forester arrives this fall and it gets new features you need to know about. The first reviews after the reveal were all about the lack of exterior design changes for the new model. But there’s more underneath that will benefit consumers.
Forester is all about safety
The new 2019 Forester now comes with standard EyeSight, Subaru’s driver assist technology with Pre-Collision Braking that’s been proven to reduce accidents.

The 2019 Forester gets a newly-upgraded 2.5-liter boxer engine with direct-injection now producing 182 horsepower with improved fuel economy (33 mpg highway). It’s not new, but Forester comes standard with Subaru’s Symmetrical all-wheel-drive for all-weather performance, 8.7 inches of ground clearance, and X-Mode for extreme off-road use.
