Efficient Versatile Efficient
Its available Lineartronic® CVT gives
you optimal MPG at every speed, and
combined with its efficient SUBARU
BOXER® engine, the Forester earns
up to 32 highway MPG.1
Versatile
Subaru Symmetrical AWD helps you drive with
confidence, while the available X-MODE® terrain feature
with Hill Descent Control2 helps you more easily navigate
steep and slippery roads with confidence. There’s also
8.7 inches of ground clearance, so you can take on
nearly any path.
Do what yoouu loovvee, and do it often.
Inspired to do more. Outstanding versatility, great fuel economy and
an impressive safety reputation make the 2018 Forester a favorite when
it comes to pursuing your passions with those you care about the most.

Get extra peace of mind for your daily drive with available
safety technologies like Blind-Spot Detection,3 Rear Cross-

SUBARU STARLINK™ Safety and Security is available as
well to help keep you and your Subaru safe and sound.5
SpaciousSpacious
Available reclining rear seats and generous leg
room make the cabin especially comfortable for rear
passengers, while the available power rear gate gives
you easy access to the large cargo area. To maximize
its cargo capability, we gave the Forester an extra-wide
rear opening as well.

STSTS ARA LINK™ Multimedia Navigation
Well-equipped Interior
There’s a lot to enjoy in the 2018 Forester like rich
materials and a large panoramic moonroof to give the
cabin a wide-open feeling. There’s also a 4.3-inch, full-
color multifunction display for accessing info like vehicle
settings, average fuel economy and the available EyeSight®
Driver Assist Technology.1
Plus, standard SUBARU STARLINK™ Multimedia gives
you access to music, news, navigation and other content
through Pandora,® Aha,™ available STARLINK™ apps and more
on either a 6.2- or 7.0-inch high-resolution touchscreen. It
displays the view from the standard Rear-Vision Camera
when you’re backing up, too. STARLINK™ Safety and
Security2 is also available to help keep you and your Subaru
safe with services like Automatic Collision Notification that
can send the appropriate first responder if an airbag deploys.
1 EyeSight is a driver assist technology, which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness
depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. See
Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations. 2 Activation with subscription is required. See your retailer for details.
Lots of room for lots of possibilities.

A driver ahead unexpectedly hits the brakes
or cuts you off. EyeSight®1 warns you, applies
brakes to help avoid impact and, at lower
speeds, can even help you stop your Subaru.
You accidentally drift to the edge of your lane
and begin to cross into another. EyeSight®
watches for lane markers and chimes to warn
you before you leave your lane, and it can
even help steer you back into your proper
course, thanks to Lane Keep Assist.
Pre-Collision Braking
Lane Departure and Sway Warning
with Lane Keep Assist
Traffic doesn’t always flow smoothly, so
EyeSight® doesn’t only keep a set speed.
The system looks ahead and helps auto-
matically adjust to keep your distance, even
in stop-and-go highway traffic.
Adaptive Cruise Control
If you put the car in Drive instead of
Reverse and EyeSight® sees an object
in your path, it cuts power to help you
avoid accelerating into it.

capability means you’ll have control, even in unfavorable weather. There are also
available features like Reverse Automatic Braking,2 as well as LED Steering
Responsive Headlights to help you see around corners more easily and available
High Beam Assist to automatically initiate and dim the high beams as needed.

driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. The Pre-Collision Braking System
is designed to provide automatic braking that either prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact. The Pre-Collision Throttle Management System is designed to reduce acceleration and minimize the severity
of certain frontal impacts. Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lane Keep Assist
operate only when the lane markings are visible and system effectiveness depends on many factors. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations. 11 Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change

details. 14 The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (airbags) affords the driver and the front and rear outboard passengers additional protection in moderate to severe frontal and side-impact 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 and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should
always be properly restrained in the rear seat. 15 Activation with subscription is required. See your retailer for details. 16 Based on IHS Markit U.S. vehicles in operation vs. new vehicle registrations in the Non-Luxury Compact

At Subaru, we’re committed to building a lasting, rewarding relationship with you and the world we share. We start
by building our vehicles to last—it’s why 98% of all the Subaru Forester vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on
the road today.16 We also share your desire for a cleaner, greener world. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.
(SIA) became the first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to reach zero-landfill status—nothing from its manufacturing
efforts ever goes into a landfill. Subaru is headquartered in a zero-landfill office in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

keep it cleaner and greener.
