Countless places to explore. Endless room for adventure. THE DIFFERENCE: A smart interior design blends spaciousness, flexibility and high levels of comfort to meet the demands of an active lifestyle — either within the confines of the city or the expanse of the great outdoors. THE ADVANTAGE: In an SUV that makes things easy, you never have to think twice about where you want to go, what you’re able to take with you or whom you want to bring along for the ride.
Utility: It’s supposed to be an integral part of every SUV — after all, that’s what the “U” stands for — but some vehicles meet the definition better than others. With standard roof rails, a generous 1087-kg towing capacity and a compact double-wishbone rear suspension system
2.5X Convenience Package with PZEV Option
that creates a wider, more useful cargo area, the Forester is right at the top of the list.
17
A world of discovery awaits. An expansive cabin with thoughtful features throughout. Countless bins, pockets and trays, each one cleverly designed to give your belongings a place to belong. And 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats that create up to 1,934 litres of storage space. The Subaru Forester works hard to fit it all in.
READY FOR LONG ITEMS OR LONG WEEKENDS The Forester is uniquely prepared to keep pace with your life, including everything from well-planned vacations to spontaneous shopping trips. The cargo area can accommodate four large suitcases or four golf bags, while an array of hooks help secure smaller items in place. For lengthier cargo, the 60/40-split rear seats fold flat with releases on the seatbacks. 18
BIGGER IDEAS FOR SMALLER ITEMS The Forester is the model of smart interior design. There are useful storage compartments within easy reach, including bottle holders in the doors, an overhead console and an illuminated, multi-function centre console. Rear-seat passengers have not been forgotten either, as evidenced by the available, illuminated retractable cushion table with built-in cup holders.
EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE, EVERYTHING SECURE The available cargo cover, with its lightweight aluminum frame, is easily retractable or removable, making it perfect for keeping your valuables hidden from sight. When not needed, it can be conveniently stowed under the cargo floor. Meanwhile, the optional cargo tray is equally useful in keeping everything in the cargo area well-organized.

2.5X Limited Package
Stay connected. Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive Symmetry gives you balance. Balance gives you control. This is why Subaru has spent nearly 40 years developing and perfecting the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system. Enhanced by the SUBARU BOXER engine for an almost perfectly symmetrical layout, it maximizes power delivery with exceptional traction and generates balance and stability for better control in all conditions. More control inspires more confidence behind the wheel and a more gratifying driving experience overall.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE Exceptional traction, courtesy of Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD, makes acceleration feel immediate and exhilarating. Combined with its symmetrical drivetrain layout, the Forester is able to deliver responsive handling, stability in the corners and a unique feeling of control at all times.
CONSTANT CONTACT
Drivetrain for illustrative purposes only.
The more your tires are engaged with the road, the more control you have. This is why power is routed to all four wheels while the vehicle is in motion, so the AWD system doesn’t have to react to potential hazards like puddles, bumps or potholes in the road. Instead, the system is able to keep the tires connected to the road as closely as possible at all times.
AGILITY IN AN EMERGENCY In poor weather, or in the precious seconds it takes to react to a sudden situation, the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system — which is almost perfectly balanced side-to-side — provides the stability, agility and traction that help you steer away from danger.

Stay balanced. SUBARU BOXER engine Few other SUVs offer the sheer, unbridled driving pleasure of the Subaru Forester. So it’s not surprising that this has been achieved through an innovative design that gives this SUV a clear advantage over the competition. The horizontally opposed configuration of the SUBARU BOXER engine places the pistons 180 degrees apart, creating a lower and flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine — and, therefore, the whole vehicle — a lower centre of gravity and a better sense of balance. Furthermore, the opposing movement of the pistons inherently counteract each other, naturally helping to reduce vibration and increase driving comfort.
INCREASED STABILITY Because the engine block has a flatter profile and sits lower in the chassis, the vehicle is more balanced and resistant to side-to-side motion than other engine configurations.
SMOOTH POWER At any rpm level, the engine delivers immediate, responsive power that comes on smooth. This occurs because the pistons lay flat and work against each other to reduce vibration, making the ride as easy and comfortable as it is exciting.
LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and self-balancing, generating less vibration than V-type and most in-line engines for exceptional durability and reliable performance.
25
It packs a solid punch. And a powerful counter-punch. THE DIFFERENCE: The horizontally opposed design of the SUBARU BOXER engine fires with a powerful punch-counterpunch action. THE ADVANTAGE: It’s naturally balanced for exceptional smoothness, inherently rigid for greater strength and has a lower profile for better handling.
THE NEW SUBARU BOXER — BETTER THAN EVER The new generation of SUBARU BOXER engines takes a superior concept and builds on it to stay one step ahead of the competition. A longer stroke, optimized components and more precise control of air, fuel and temperature combine to reduce friction, emissions and fuel consumption. These engines are also quicker off the line and more responsive on the open road, yet they maintain a reputation for smooth power delivery and more balanced handling.

The new generation, naturally aspirated 2.5-litre DOHC engine powering the Subaru Forester is more efficient and energetic than ever. The intake, combustion chambers, fuel injectors and cooling system have been optimized to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Meanwhile, the redesigned cylinder heads and Active Valve Control System help to create rewarding response across a wider range of engine speeds, transforming this SUV into a sports car in disguise.

PZEV EQUIPMENT
The naturally aspirated 2.5-litre DOHC SUBARU BOXER behind the new Subaru Forester features improved low-end torque, better mid-range response and increased fuel efficiency. Plus, the addition of optional Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) equipment helps reduce smog-forming emissions to near zero with no compromise in performance, allowing this smart SUV to meet California's Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) tailpipe standard. One of the cleanest gas-powered vehicles on the road today, the Forester with the PZEV Option* is also SmartWay速 certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, signifying that it achieves strict, predetermined levels for fuel economy and tailpipe emissions. *PZEV Option available on 2.5X Convenience Package (4EAT) only.
27
In touch with every move. THE DIFFERENCE: A refined chassis, low centre of gravity, all-wheel drive and stability control system add up to composure, self-assurance and cornering capabilities far beyond those of ordinary SUVs.
Drivetrains for illustrative purposes only.
THE ADVANTAGE: Every meticulously crafted component works together to make the Forester confident in every corner, surefooted on any surface and satisfying in every season.
LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY While the Forester offers a commanding view of the road and generous ground clearance — as you would expect in an SUV — it also features a low-profile SUBARU BOXER engine and symmetrical full-time AWD that brings the centre of gravity significantly closer to the road. The result is a truly great handling SUV with exceptional stability and razor-sharp reflexes that ordinary SUVs simply cannot match.
28
SUBARU DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL CONCEPT (DC 3) The thinking behind Subaru DC 3 takes the inherent balance, composure and response of the Forester to new heights and new levels of refinement. The super-strong body, rigorous steering components and advanced long-stroke double-wishbone rear suspension — combined with a further-reduced mounting height for the engine — deliver a smoother ride, better impact management, and a more accurate and more natural steering feel.
SUSPENSION The Forester’s strut-type front and double wishbone rear suspension have been refined to inspire even greater handling and driver confidence. The rear bushings and shock absorbers have been fine-tuned and optimized to minimize harshness and contribute to more precise steering for greater control and improved comfort. Driver feedback is also crisper, while the vehicle has a more solid, planted feel. Combined with a long stroke, wide track and impressive 220 mm ground clearance (225 mm on 2.5XT Limited), the Forester delivers a unique combination of rugged capability and refined handling that sets new standards for this class of vehicle.
4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION + MULTI-PLATE TRANSFER CLUTCH AWD For instant and seamless response to varying driving conditions, the available 4-speed automatic transmission with Manual Mode (4EAT) utilizes a multi-plate transfer clutch AWD system. This transmission allows the driver to choose from two fully automatic modes (Normal and Sport) and a manual-shift mode. The AWD system maintains a 60/40 torque split (front/rear) for more predictable handling and automatically adjusts up to a 50/50 split under hard acceleration or when conditions warrant.
5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION + VISCOUS-COUPLING LIMITED-SLIP CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD Standard on two Forester models is a slick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission paired with an AWD system using a viscous-coupling limited-slip centre differential. This system maintains a 50/50 torque split and incorporates Vehicle Dynamics Control to ensure sporty performance under all conditions. This is the transmission of choice for those who crave maximum control and maximum driving pleasure.

a Subaru always starts with peace of mind.

32
Secure in your surroundings. THE DIFFERENCE: Agile response, all-wheel drive and other advanced active safety systems help keep you in control at all times, even when you encounter unexpected situations and challenging conditions. THE ADVANTAGE: Every Subaru is proactive about your protection because the best way to walk away from an accident is to avoid it altogether.
ACTIVE SAFETY, TO AVOID A COLLISION Many of the same features that make the Subaru Forester fun to drive also help keep you out of harm’s way. For example, the position of the SUBARU BOXER engine creates a low centre of gravity and enhances the performance capabilities of the entire symmetrical full-time AWD system resulting in precise, surefooted and stable handling. Furthermore, the standard Vehicle Dynamics Control system, responsive steering, anti-lock brakes and large windows are all designed to help the driver stay confidently in control.
VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM
BRAKING SYSTEM
The standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system† uses an array of sensors to analyze if the Forester is following the driver’s intended path. If the vehicle approaches the limits of stability, VDC instantly adjusts the AWD torque distribution*, engine output and brakes at each wheel to help keep the vehicle on course.
Standard 4-wheel disc brakes feature a 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution to automatically adjust front/rear braking pressure when vehicle load changes. Electronic Brake Assist also provides greater braking force in emergency situations. And the Hill Holder‡ system holds the brakes for an extra second to help prevent rollback when starting on an incline. ‡ Manual transmission models only.

Surrounded by security. THE DIFFERENCE: A full complement of passive safety features — from the ultra-strong body structure to the comprehensive array of restraint systems — work in concert to reduce the chance of injury should an accident prove unavoidable. THE ADVANTAGE: An all-encompassing approach to safety leaves little to chance — especially comforting when it comes to the well-being of your passengers.
PASSIVE SAFETY, TO LESSEN THE CHANCE OF INJURY IN A COLLISION
SEATS, SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS
The Forester is engineered to protect the driver, passengers and even pedestrians with a network of advanced passive safety systems. The body, including the advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame, is strategically strengthened, to help minimize impact energy from all directions. An array of airbags, active front-seat head restraints, collapsible pedals and 3-point seatbelts help protect occupants even more. It’s a core value at Subaru that driving enjoyment starts with security and peace of mind.
Standard on every Forester are front, front side-impact and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors, as well as height-adjustable front seatbelts with pretensioners to hold occupants firmly in place and load limiters to ease peak forces to the chest. In addition, whiplash-reducing active front-seat head restraints automatically move forward in a rear collision to better support the head and neck.
RING-SHAPED REINFORCEMENT FRAME The advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame strengthens the passenger cabin from the roof to the doors, pillars and floor. This design helps to dissipate impact energy and divert it away from occupants in a collision. The front crumple zone is also engineered to compress gradually and allow the SUBARU BOXER engine to slide underneath the cabin in a severe frontal impact.

Subaru Protection Plan
As a Subaru owner, you have expectations for a pleasurable, trouble-free ownership experience — now and into the future. Once your 36-month/60,000-km New Vehicle Limited Warranty period ends,* our Subaru Protection Plan (SPP) — the only vehicle service contract endorsed by Subaru Canada for Subaru vehicles — can prolong your hassle-free ownership experience with three levels of extended service contract coverage tailored to your needs: Powertrain Protection; Major Protection; or Complete Protection (best level of coverage to complement the 60-month/100,000-km Major Component Limited Warranty). SPP offers comprehensive mechanical and electrical coverage and a number of additional features and benefits, such as Roadside Assistance and Alternate Transportation, for up to 7 years or 160,000 km from your vehicle’s in-service date. Whether your vehicle is purchased or leased, SPP protects you and your investment. Be sure to ask your dealer for details or visit subaru.ca. *If you already own a Subaru vehicle and it is still within the 36-month/60,000-km New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, you are still eligible for SPP!

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS airbags) affords the driver and passenger additional protection in some collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment. The combination of SRS and seatbelts provides the best protection in a serious accident.
