Subaru definitely holds a firm place in the unending list of excellent and quality things that came out of Japan. 2023 Subaru Forester crossover SUV might be dropping soon, but the things that will be altered are what have left car buffs speechless.

Even though Subaru has held on to a place in the automobile industry and is known for its reliable vehicles, it is still not in league with Toyota or others in the league when it comes to reliability. 

But when it comes to Honda, it can cross paths as the higher end with subcompact SUVs as it offers a good number of features, variants but the same cannot be said in other versions like sedans, mid or large SUVs or hybrids or any of their variants. As Honda leads those fields compared to Subaru.

But, Subaru Forester maintained its loyal customers and kept them in the loop. Subaru Forester 2023 may come as a surprise in that area.

When will the 2023 Subaru Forester be available?

According to Subaru HQ, the 2023 Subaru Forester will be available in December 2022. Thus retaining its 2023 version name, and it looks like the car will have no delay and drop by this year-end.

What are the updated features in Subaru Forester 2023?

The most essential part that stunned every Subaru loyal fan was that the 2023 model comes with no updated features but just an updated price.

This is a new trend followed by many hiking the price just to keep the fans guessing something should be updated. Even though this culture is not good, we cannot help stop it.

It is common for car manufacturing giants to lay low for some years and not give new feature updates that happen when it is mostly planning on updating something big and laying low and trying to come up with something that could set it apart in every manner.

In those times, it is customary not to give newer versions. So, Subaru Forester better come up with an updated, revolutionised version sooner.

What all features remain intact?

The 2023 Subaru Forester will retain the 2.5-litre flat-four engine with 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque with a continuously variable automatic transmission. 

And the best feature of all Subaru vehicles is all-wheel drive which makes it the perfect fit for rough weather and all terrain. It has an estimated gas mileage of 33mpg. 

2022 saw some significant updates in Subaru Forester, including updates in the front and interior. It also introduced a more rugged Wilderness trim level that adds more ground clearance over other trim levels.

This compact SUV considers its rivals to be some most prominent names in the SUV market. So, it better step up. Some of the competitive rivals of the Subaru Forester are Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Chevy Equinox, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-50, and Volkswagen Tiguan.

With Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V  coming up with some revolutionary updates to their 2023 version, Subaru Forester might face some step back. 

While Subaru Forester still remains the same, that does not make it necessarily bad unless you look at the additional hike in price. You can still go for it if you like what Subaru offers, particularly for touring and rough terrain, this remains one of the default choices.
