2022 Subaru Forester Premium

The 2022 Forester is a compact SUV that puts standard all-wheel drive and a tall greenhouse ahead of style, competing with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The Forester handles with a light, accurate feel that makes it easy to place in traffic, though acceleration is modest when merging onto highways. The ride is absorbent over most surfaces, and the seats are supportive for long trips, making it a comfortable daily driver. Cargo space is generous for the class, and the boxy shape means the rear seats fold flat for bulky items like furniture or camping gear. Stepping up to the Premium from the Base adds a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, and the larger 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. X-Mode with Hill Descent Control is standard here, giving you genuine low-speed trail capability that most compact SUVs can't match.
