Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

New Wilderness trim level.

Pros
Standard all-wheel drive
A full complement of driver assist features are standard
Enhanced off-road capability thanks to better-than-average ground clearance
Generous cargo capacity

Cons
Engine is underpowered
Modest tow rating limits maximum utility

Subaru has refreshed the Forester SUV for 2022 with blockier-looking front headlamps, a reworked grille, and new wheel designs. A Wilderness trim joins the lineup and, like the Outback Wilderness, it adds additional ground clearance and a rugged appearance package. Inside, the Forester benefits from new optional gesture controls for the climate control system and a panoramic sunroof as standard equipment on all but the base trim.

Pros
Plenty of cargo space,
comfortable two-row layout,
smooth ride.

Cons
Poky acceleration,
base model is spartan,
not as cool as the Outback wagon.
