The 2024 Subaru Forester represents a refreshed version of the fifth generation of Subaru’s compact crossover SUV, which initially debuted in 1997. The current generation was launched in 2018 and received a facelift a few years ago, featuring a new front end and slightly tweaked rear bumper while keeping the same powertrain. Notably, all Forester models now come equipped with Subaru’s updated fourth-generation Eyesight driver-assist system. Additionally, a new off-road-focused Wilderness model was introduced to the lineup.
