The Premium trim adds several comfort and convenience upgrades over the base model while retaining the Foresters practical, utility-focused layout. Key factory features - Powertrain and chassis - 2.5L horizontally opposed (boxer) H4 engine rated at 170 hp and 174 ft-lbs of torque. - Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for full-time AWD traction. - Subaru Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) as the drivetrain pairing on Premium models, tuned to provide smooth, efficient acceleration and improved highway response. - Independent suspension tuned for a comfortable ride and stable handling in a variety of road conditions. - Exterior - 17-inch alloy wheels. - Integrated roof rails for carrying cargo or mounting crossbars and carriers. - Front fog lights and body-color exterior trim accents. - Heated exterior mirrors to help maintain visibility in cold weather. - Interior and comfort - Cloth seat trim with a focus on durable, easy-care materials. - Heated front seats for driver and front passenger. - 60/40 split-folding rear seats that recline and fold flat to expand cargo capacity. - Power windows and door locks with remote keyless entry. - Tilt/telescoping steering column and a leather-wrapped steering wheel on Premium trim levels. - Climate and convenience - User-friendly HVAC controls with efficient cabin airflow and multiple vents for rear passengers. - Cruise control and convenient steering-wheel mounted controls for basic audio and phone functions. - Multiple storage cubbies, cupholders, and a center console designed for daily practicality. - Infotainment and connectivity - Subaru STARLINK infotainment system with touchscreen interface. - Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming. - USB and auxiliary inputs for device connection and charging. - Multi-speaker audio system tuned for clear, balanced sound. - Safety and security - Comprehensive passive and active safety systems, including front, side and curtain airbags. - Anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution. - Vehicle Dynamics Control (stability control) and traction control to help maintain control in slippery conditions. - Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and LATCH anchors for child seats. - Factory security and immobilizer system. Notes on options and packages - Subaru offered a number of optional packages and factory add-ons (for example, the EyeSight driver-assist suite, navigation, upgraded audio, and other convenience features) that were available on Premium-trim Foresters but are not part of the standard equipment list. Factory standard items listed above reflect the typical baseline specification for the 2.5i Premium trim. This configuration is oriented toward buyers who want practical interior space, dependable AWD capability, and a comfortable set of creature comforts without moving up to the highest luxury or technology levels in the Forester lineup.
