Performance and Capability
Under the hood, the Subaru Forester Wilderness features a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. The revised drivetrain gearing paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) improves low-speed climbing on steep inclines and an 8-speed manual mode controlled by paddle shifters mounted on the backside of the steering wheel. Featuring an upgraded CVT cooler to help keep the transmission cool, the Forester Wilderness has an improved towing capacity of up to 3,000 pounds.
Off road, the Subaru Forester Wilderness provides drivers up to 9.2 inches of ground clearance and a front skid plate to help traverse rough terrain in Elkins without worrying about damaging components underneath. In addition, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system features an Enhanced Dual-Function X-MODE that's upgraded and tuned for snow and dirt or deep snow and mud. With redesigned bumpers that help improve approach and departure angles, the Forester Wilderness is ready to tackle your adventures around Grafton.
Exterior and Interior
Sitting on 17-inch matte black wheels with all-terrain Yokohama GEOLANDAR® A/T tires, the Forester Wilderness has a rugged appearance thanks to plastic cladding, and Anodized Copper finish accents. Sunlight and headlight glare from oncoming travelers have been reduced thanks to the anti-glare hood finish that helps you see better on the trail or at night. In addition, the Forester Wilderness comes standard with redesigned roof rails that are ready to accept Genuine Subaru Accessories, storage solutions, or even a rooftop tent.
Climbing inside the cabin of the Subaru Forester Wilderness, drivers will be greeted by a cozy interior that screams comfort. Textured StarTex upholstery provides a durable water-repellent seating surface that is easy to clean, while copper-accent trim subtly reminds you that this Forester SUV is unique. The Forester Wilderness seats five passengers comfortably while also storing 26.9 cubic feet of gear in the trunk. With the rear seats lowered, storage capacity improves to 69.1 cubic feet. With standard heated front seats and a reclining rear seatback, your passengers won't want to leave this sporty Subaru after your Elkins commutes and adventures.
Modern Technology
Featuring an 8.0-inch touchscreen STARLINK® Multimedia system, the Forester Wilderness keeps you connected on the go through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. These programs allow you to pair a compatible phone for hands-free access to phone, music, and navigation applications. Above the infotainment display sits a 6.3-inch color multifunction display that provides drivers with access to fuel economy, weather, audio, climate control, and a standard 180-Degree Front View Monitor to help you see obstacles in front of the vehicle when traveling around Buckhannon.
Standard Safety
At the heart of every Subaru is the core value of safety. Featuring the Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, the Forester Wilderness provides drivers with various active and passive safety features that improve confidence on the roads of Clarksburg. From city streets to country backroads, the Forester Wilderness constantly monitors the road ahead to provide features such as Automatic Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Centering, and Adaptive Cruise Control. As a bonus, Subaru calibrated the EyeSight® system to account for the increased ground clearance and off-road upgrades of the Forester Wilderness.
