2024 Subaru Forester vs 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness

Serving Fairfax, VA

The compact Subaru Forester crossover has six trim options. These are the base, the Premium, the Sport, the Wilderness, the Limited and the Touring. While all trim levels are remarkably equipped with progressively more advanced features as you walk up the lineup, the Wilderness stands apart from others with its off-road-ready engineering and features.

Performance

Across the full trim lineup for the 2024 Subaru Forester, including the Wilderness trim level, you will benefit from a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine. This system produces 182 horsepower and features all-wheel drive and a continuously variable auto transmission. The Wilderness trim level adds taller ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and a front skid plate for enhanced functionality. Its towing capacity is 3,000 pounds, while the other trim levels have a 1,500-pound towing capacity.

Appearance

The 2024 Subaru Forester expresses its modern appeal and strong capabilities through its individualized aesthetics. From the side view, you can admire the tall profile with a gentle descent through the roof and smooth, subtly contoured door panels. A layer of hard-wearing molding runs from end to end. The innovative headlights with an LED accent bar that links to the grille also define the Forester's personality. The vertical fog lamps sit in wide, angled portals—the wide grille trends inward as it carries down to the bumper fascia. The Forester has up to 19-inch wheels, raised roof rails, tinted rear windows, and a wiper de-icer. The Wilderness adds exclusive 17-inch wheels, a roof rack, and an anti-glare decal on the hood.

Features

The Wilderness trim level exclusively has an 8-inch touch display screen and water-resistant upholstery. Its other features are included in the Forester's additional trim levels. These are evasive steering assistance, a blind-spot warning, a six-speaker sound system, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, a forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and several other features.
