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.
Pros Powerful six-cylinder engine delivers quick acceleration More cargo space than most rivals Handles and brakes like a sport sedan
Cons Too many creaks and squeaks from interior trim More road and wind noise in the cabin than in competitors Some controls are needlessly complicated
Following a more thorough refresh for the 2021 model year, the F-Pace is largely unchanged for 2022 and continues to offer the same powertrains, features, and designs as last year's model.
Pros Inspired handling for an SUV, refined engines, roomy cargo bay.
Cons Infotainment system needs some kinks worked out, ride is stiff on larger wheels, cabin’s storage cubbies are dinky.
Pros Athletic ride and handling Muscular optional engines Spacious, high-end interior Intuitive infotainment system
Cons High starting price Underwhelming power with base engine
