Subaru Forester 2024

Forester is the choice for people who want a compact SUV that is built around visibility, usable cargo space, and standard all-wheel drive. By our assessment, the Subaru Forester 2024 stays close to that formula, with a practical upright cabin, generous glass area, and a calm chassis that suits rough pavement and bad weather more than showy driving. What it gives up is flair and speed; the shape is plain, and the engine-and-transmission feel is usually more utility than fun. In daily use it comes across as honest and unhurried, with an easy step-in height and the sort of layout that makes errands and road trips feel straightforward. Against other small SUVs, it usually stands out for traction and outward sightlines, while the ceiling is set by modest performance and an interior that is functional before it is fancy.
