2023/2024 Subaru Forester Comparison in Bay City

2024 Subaru Forester


2024 Subaru Forester Compared to the 2023 Subaru Forester 
 

How does the 2024 Subaru Forester compare to the 2023 Subaru Forester? Going from the 2023 model year to the new 2024 iteration, Subaru has kept its popular SUV largely unchanged. As such, fans of the series will adore the consistency the brand continues to demonstrate with its lineup. What makes the Forester so special in Central Michigan? A peppy powertrain, Symmetrical AWD, and a whole host of interior features in a spacious cabin await the lucky driver and their family when they step into a new 2024 Forester for a drive around the Great Lakes Bay Region 

Performance 
 

  • 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® Engine Carried Over from the 2023MY Forester to the 2024MY 

  • Standard Symmetrical AWD Platform Returns for Another Year of Elite Handling Precision 

When drivers step behind the wheel of a new 2024 Subaru Forester and experience the peppiness of the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® engine under the hood of the SUV, they will know they are piloting a family cruiser that will provide memorable rides around the Central Michigan region. When partnered with the Continuously Variable Transmission that also comes back for the 2024 model year SUV, the ride is smooth under acceleration to ensure that everyone in the vehicle is treated to the seamless cruising experience they deserve. Throughout the year in Michigan, the reliability of the Symmetrical AWD platform delivers the confident handling drivers need when dealing with road conditions such as snow and ice when winters arrive in the region.  

 

Interior Features 
 

  • Plenty of Space in the Cabin Is Another Welcome Returning Element of the 2024 Forester 

  • Everyone in the SUV is Treated to a Diverse Array of Interior Amenities  

Subaru designed the interior of the Forester to be roomy while still maintaining a well-equipped selection of interior amenities. This remains unchanged going into the 2024 model year version of the SUV. Throughout the range of Forester models, the comfort capabilities of the family cruiser can be elevated through technology such as available heated front seating in trim levels starting with the Premium version of the Forester. Through the Subaru STARLINK® system, occupants get the welcome convenience of integrated Wi-Fi®, connectivity to various smartphone applications for compatible devices, and available amenities such as satellite radio capability and integrated navigation.  

 

Safety Features 

  • Symmetrical AWD is the Superior All-Around Drivetrain for Mid-Michigan 

  • Subaru EyeSight® Technology Helps with Everyday Driving Situations in the State 

No matter what season a driver of the 2024 Subaru Forester takes their SUV out for a drive around town or on the highway, the Symmetrical AWD platform that remains a Subaru staple caters to their handling needs. This elite maneuverability versatility is enhanced through the selection of Subaru EyeSight® Driver-Assistance technology. This suite of safety systems has been directly carried over from the 2023 iteration of the SUV to help drivers of the new version have that confident level of active monitoring and protection they deserve. City navigation in busy traffic is made easier through systems such as Automatic Emergency Braking. For the wide-open highways in Michigan, Adaptive Cruise Control makes the experience much less exhausting for the driver to undertake.
