Family Car of the Year
The Forester has been named Best Family Car of the Year by DRIVEN Car Guide and Autocar, powered by Auto Trader NZ.
For generations, Kiwi families have trusted Forester to carry what matters most. Built for real life, it delivers Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for confidence in all conditions, advanced EyeSight Driver Assist technology for peace of mind, and the space and versatility families rely on every day.
Now smarter, safer, and more capable than ever, with a bold new design, cutting-edge technology, and the new Strong Hybrid e-Boxer engine, Forester delivers efficiency without compromise and confidence without question.
Reimagined design that invites adventure
Blending a head-turning new look with its signature rugged personality, the all-new Subaru Forester is a true expression of its proven capability.
Staying true to its roots, it features a bold new grille, striking headlight design, geometric trim accents, and muscular contours, while still delivering the outstanding driver visibility Subaru Forester is known for. Slimline pillars and expansive windows offer a commanding, panoramic view that keeps you connected to your surroundings. New intelligent cornering lights enhance visibility when turning, helping deliver a safer, more confident driving experience, so you can own the road and conquer the wild.
Safety that gives you peace of mind
The all-new Subaru Forester features advanced safety technology, giving you greater awareness and confidence wherever you go.
The latest generation EyeSight® Driver Assist includes a new Wide-Angle Monocular Camera and Front Side Radar, offering a broader field of view to help detect potential hazards earlier and prevent collisions more effectively.
Subaru’s Vision Assist also introduces a 360-Degree View Monitor, enhancing visibility and precision when parking, navigating tight spots or tackling tricky situations.
And when it comes to all-terrain confidence, Subaru Forester delivers – built on an improved Subaru Global Platform, with outstanding all-round visibility and Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive at its core.
Tackle challenging terrain
With 220mm of ground clearance* and an enhanced X-Mode system that now activates even in reverse, the all-new Subaru Forester is engineered to tackle rough and uneven terrain with confidence.
This off-road capability is underpinned by Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, delivering constant traction and stability across all four wheels for maximum control in all conditions.
To further adapt to changing surfaces and driving styles, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) lets you fine-tune engine response with two distinct drive modes—so you’re always ready for whatever lies ahead.
*Ground clearance at kerb weight.
