New Forester Fully Redesigned Interior
The interior of the new Forester features Subaru’s latest design, improving comfort and convenience.
Its main feature is its large 11.6-inch full HD display . Its interface is similar to that of a smartphone and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Furthermore, quietness has been significantly improved . In addition to the extensive use of sound-absorbing materials and advanced welding techniques, the car also uses structural adhesives that reduce roof panel noise by 39%, resulting in a quiet and comfortable interior.
In addition,
- By moving the dashboard upward, knee space is increased.
- The 11.6-inch vertical full HD touch display allows intuitive operation of navigation, audio, vehicle settings, and more.
- The meter combines an analog meter with an LCD display, achieving both visibility and advanced technology.
- Improved rear seat comfort.
- The power tailgate can be opened and closed with a gesture of the toes.
- The luggage space has a wide opening and a square shape, improving loading capacity.
Various ingenuity has been put into the design, such as:
New Forester undergoes full model change with full inner frame structure
The new platform, “SUBARU GLOBAL PLATFORM (SGP),” can accommodate a variety of power units, including not only gasoline engines but also hybrids (HVs), plug-in hybrids (PHVs), and electric vehicles (EVs), all with a single design concept. This allows us to flexibly respond to diverse future demands.
The “full inner frame structure” used in the Levorg and Legacy Outback contributes to high rigidity. This achieves both high rigidity and light weight. In addition, by reducing the number of parts compared to conventional manufacturing methods and using spot welding to join the frames, a 10% increase in rigidity has been achieved. This also improves quietness and reduces noise entering the cabin on highways and other roads.
Furthermore, by adopting a “two-pinion electric power steering,” the motor assist axis and the driver’s steering axis are separate, resulting in a smooth, sporty steering feel with no response delay.
New Forester undergoes full model change with next-generation EyeSight X advanced driver assistance technology
The new Forester is equipped with the latest safety system, EyeSight, which significantly improves safety performance.
By switching from the conventional stereo camera to a triple camera, the field of view has been expanded by approximately 2 times. The image recognition software and control software have also been improved, allowing it to recognize a wider range.
The reason behind this evolution is a change in the stereo camera: the Hitachi-made camera has been replaced with a wide-angle camera made by Sweden’s Vionir, which has increased the resolution from 1.2 megapixels to 2.3 megapixels and widened the horizontal angle of view by just under two times.
Furthermore, in addition to the conventional rear-side radar and rear ultrasonic sensors, millimeter-wave radars have been installed on both sides of the front of the vehicle. By fitting the camera cover tightly to the windshield, the mounting position has been moved forward, widening the camera’s field of view, which also contributes greatly to improved safety performance.
Additionally, the EyeSight’s response speed has been improved by changing the brake booster to an electric type, and the hardware has also evolved, with the adoption of Xilinx’s FPGA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (multi-processor system-on-chip) processor.
Thanks to these improvements, the new Forester achieves high safety performance on par with the Crosstrek, Impreza, Levorg, and Legacy Outback, which all dominate the top spots in the NASVA (National Agency for Automotive Safety and Victims’ Aid) overall automobile safety performance rankings.
The car is also equipped with EyeSight X, which uses information from 3D high-precision maps, GPS, and the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System Michibiki to accurately pinpoint the vehicle’s position and realize advanced driving assistance functions. Various functions are available, including deceleration before curves, hands-off driving in traffic jams, lane change assistance, and a system to respond to driver abnormalities.

EyeSight X
The new generation EyeSight has an add-on “Advanced Driving Assistance Function,” which utilizes a 3D high-precision map unit developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric and high-precision GPS information from the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System “Michibiki.”
Hands-off assist in traffic jams
You can take your hands off the steering wheel when driving at speeds below approximately 50 km/h.
Start assist in traffic jams
When using ACC, the time it takes for the vehicle to automatically restart from a stopped position has been extended from the previous 3 seconds to approximately 10 minutes. This is due to the addition of a front radar and an expanded field of view of the stereo camera, which allows for more accurate detection of vehicles cutting in front of the vehicle.
Active Lane Change Assist
When driving at a speed between 70 and 120 km/h, steering assistance is provided when the turn signal lever is operated, assisting with lane changes.
Speed control before a curve
Controls the speed to an appropriate level for curves. Speed control before toll gates Controls the speed to an appropriate level for passing through ETC gates.
Driver emergency response system
If the system detects a driver abnormality, it will automatically activate the hazard warning lights and horn to alert those around, and slow down or stop the vehicle. This function only works when Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is activated and the lane centering and leading vehicle steering functions are activated. These functions are primarily intended for use on expressways, toll roads, and other roads for motor vehicles only. Use on general roads is not recommended. If the system determines a sharp curve based on 3D high-precision map data, it will reverse the vehicle and stop, but will not pull over to the shoulder.
High-precision 3D map data
It is updated four times a year.

New Forester Fully Redesigned Engine
At its financial results briefing on May 12, 2022, Subaru announced plans to reorganize its domestic production system to expand and accelerate the development of electrified vehicles. As part of this plan, production of the next-generation e-BOXER, which uses Toyota Motor Corporation’s hybrid system “THS (TOYOTA Hybrid System),” and vehicles equipped with the strong hybrid “S:HEV” is scheduled to begin in the mid-2020s.
At its financial results presentation for the fiscal year ending March 2024 held on May 13, 2024, Subaru announced that production of the next-generation e-BOXER and strong hybrid “S:HEV” will begin at the renovated Kitamoto Plant (Kitamoto City, Saitama Prefecture) in the fall of 2024. The official launch is said to be in early 2025.
The new Forester will be equipped with Toyota’s hybrid system, the THS, and Subaru’s next-generation e-BOXER S:HEV, which uses a horizontally opposed engine and symmetrical AWD (4WD) . This is really exciting.
The current e-BOXER is inferior to Toyota’s hybrid “THS II” and Honda’s hybrid “e:HEV” in terms of fuel efficiency, so it will be interesting to see how close the next-generation e-BOXER “S:HEV” will be in terms of fuel efficiency.
Subaru’s X-MODE (with hill descent control) continues to be adopted, and by simply selecting the mode according to the road conditions, the car will appropriately control the drive force and brakes of all four wheels, helping you to smoothly escape from rough roads.
New Forester full model change specs
The next-generation e-BOXER strong hybrid employs a 2.5L horizontally opposed 4-cylinder DOHC + motor (THS). Key specifications of the strong hybrid (based on internal prototype measurements) include an engine with a maximum output of 118kW (160PS) at 5,600 rpm and a maximum torque of 209Nm at 4,000-4,400 rpm. The drive motor employs an MC2 AC synchronous motor with a maximum output of 88kW (119.6PS) and a maximum torque of 270Nm. The drive battery is a 1.1kWh lithium-ion battery, and the fuel tank capacity is 63L. Fuel economy is significantly improved, reaching 18.4km/L to 18.8km/L under WLTC mode, compared to the previous mild hybrid model’s WLTC mode fuel economy of 14.0km/L. A 1.8L turbo engine is also available.

History of the Forester
Subaru’s Forester is a crossover SUV beloved worldwide since its debut in 1997. To date, more than 2.6 million units have been sold in the United States alone. It shares the same platform as the Impreza and is a monocoque-structured SUV. All models come standard with a horizontally opposed engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Subaru is the only Japanese manufacturer of horizontally opposed engines. The combination of a high ride height that allows for rough terrain, a low center of gravity, and a high-output engine delivers excellent handling stability even on paved roads. These features make the Forester an SUV that excels in all situations, from everyday life to outdoor adventures.
Looking back at the history of the Forester, which is now in its sixth generation, the historical pattern has been a complete overhaul every five years. The latest fifth-generation SK series underwent a major overhaul in August 2021, but it’s unlikely there will be another change anytime soon. However, the next full model change is likely to occur between 2023 and 2024. This is because a full model change is necessary to incorporate the next-generation EyeSight X, an 11.6-inch full HD large screen display, and a 12.3-inch full LCD meter in the digital cockpit. Considering that other models are adopting these features, the Forester is also expected to undergo major changes in the near future.
