Responsible. Reliable.

Ready to join the family.

At Subaru, we’re committed to building a lasting, rewarding relationship with you and the world we share. We start by building our vehicles to last—it’s why 94% of all the vehicles sold in the last 12 years are still on the road today.1 We also share your desire for a cleaner, greener world. Every 2015 non-turbo Forester achieves Partial Zero Emission Vehicle—PZEV2—status, because of its exceptionally low emissions. What’s more, in 2004 Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., (SIA) became the first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to reach zero-landfill status— nothing from its manufacturing efforts ever goes into a landfill. Subaru is headquartered in a zero-landfill office in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Introducing the 2015 Subaru Forester

Information Provided by:

The Forester is all about potential. To do what you enjoy with those closest to you and to be there for those that need you. It’s efﬁcient, achieving 32 highway MPG1, versatile with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with available X-MODE® featuring Hill Descent Control, and roomy with a large cabin and ample cargo room. It’s safe too, having been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick for eight years running (2007–2014) and a 2014 Top Safety Pick Plus when equipped with optional EyeSight®.

Efﬁcient Versatile Safe

Thanks to its Lineartronic® CVT, you’ll get optimal MPG at every speed from its efﬁcient SUBARU BOXER® engine, up to 32 highway MPG.

1 EPA estimated fuel economy for 2015 Forester 2.5i CVT at 32 highway MPG. Actual mileage may vary. 2 Ratings based on Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS’s) 40-mile-per-hour moderate overlap frontal crash test, 40-mile-per-hour small overlap frontal crash test, 31-mile-per-hour side-impact test, 20-mile-per-hour rear-impact test, and roof-strength test. Top Safety Pick Plus rating requires optional EyeSight Driver-Assist System. For more information, contact IIHS or visit their website at www.iihs.org. 3 EyeSight is a driver-assist system which may not operate optimally under all driving conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations. Please remember to turn off EyeSight when going through a carwash.

Subaru Symmetrical AWD helps you drive with control and conﬁdence, while the available X-MODE® featuring Hill Descent Control helps you more easily navigate the steep and the slippery.

In addition to seven standard airbags, Forester features the available EyeSight® Driver-Assist System,3 offering added peace of mind and convenience for your daily drive.

Roomy

There’s plenty of room to spare throughout with rich materials, top tech and available reclining rear seats for extra comfort. Plus, there’s an available power rear gate to give you hands-free access to it all.

Not Dimmed

Auto-dimming Mirrors with Approach Light

Make it easier —and safer—to come and go with the accessory Exterior Auto-dimming Mirrors with Approach Light.

When the doors are opened or unlocked with the key fob, LED lights on the side-view mirrors will help light the way, casting light on all four doors and the ground near the vehicle.

They can also help reduce headlight glare in trafﬁc. When the Interior Auto- dimming Rearview Mirror detects excessive light from the rear of the vehicle, the side-view mirrors asutomatically dim, helping to keep the light out of your eyes. The brighter the light, the dimmer the mirrors and the better you’ll be able to see.

1 Exterior Auto-dimming Mirrors with Approach Light are accessory equipment. Requires Interior Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror accessory.
