Discover The 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness Edition
Whether you buy or lease a Subaru Forester, one thing remains the same: all-weather, all-terrain confidence. With hallmark features like Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE®, and optimal ground clearance, the Subaru Forester is a versatile champion among its crossover SUV competitors. But as any wilderness explorer knows, serious adventures require even stronger capabilities.
Many overlanders and off-roaders choose the Forester as a starting point and add aftermarket modifications to achieve those capabilities. But aftermarket modifications aren't always the best solution. That is why the brand created the Subaru Forester Wilderness package. It's your way to get desirable aftermarket off-road customizations without the typical voided warranty or aftermarket-fitment headaches.
Unleash the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness Specs
It starts with increased ground clearance — the key to clearing tougher obstacles. With a lift to 9.2-inches of ground clearance, the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness soars above ruts, rocks, and muddy pits. But getting through without a scratch is only possible if the bodywork is optimized for the task. Redesigned front/rear bumpers give an impressive 23.5-degree approach and 25.4-degree departure angle, standard skid plates join in to protect vital components, and hexagonal LED fog lights help illuminate the path ahead.
The third ingredient to conquering obstacles is unwavering traction. Thanks to standard Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires wrapped around distinct 17-inch alloy wheels, the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness can push through the most challenging stuff (a full-size spare tire is also included for added confidence). The 182 horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER® engine sends power through a standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with re-tuned transmission ratios that have been optimized for low-speed crawling and climbing on grades of up to 40 percent.
An upgraded dual-function X-MODE® takes the traction even further with new tricks like angle detection. Other additions include a glare-reducing hood accent. A 180-degree front camera system. Reworked roof rails that can hold more weight. Rugged blacked-out body cladding. And an upgraded towing capacity of 3,000 pounds1 when properly equipped. With all this and more, the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness is ready for any expedition. And with up to an EPA-estimated 25/28 MPG (City/Highway),2 those expeditions can go further.
Take Command of the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness Interior
Custom all-terrain exploration vehicles aren't complete without an adventure-optimized interior; the 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness offers you precisely that. You'll find all of the "regular" Forester SUV's competitive spaciousness, advanced safety features like EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, and lifestyle-ready connectivity like an 8-inch touchscreen SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia infotainment system greeting you in the Forester Wilderness.
But, the Wilderness Edition transforms it with easy-cleaning StarTex® upholstery, LED interior lighting, exclusive Subaru Wilderness badging, Anodized Copper finish trim all around, an all-new EyeSight® Automatic Emergency Steering feature, and more. Increased liftgate opening width makes loading up your gear even easier and allows up to 69.1 cubic feet of cargo to be brought along.
The 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness has a competitive passenger volume of 107.6 cubic feet, letting five occupants enjoy the adventure with plenty of room to stretch after those long hours on your favorite trail. While that spacious volume will make it feel like a much larger SUV on the inside, its agile exterior size will let you brush through tight trail sections with ease.
From features to inherent strength, The 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness is a comfortable, confidence-inspiring way to get out there and explore trails to their fullest.
