The 2023 Subaru Forester does not really have any notable upgrades. However, the only thing it was granted was an extreme makeover last year. And for the next year, the only thing it is getting is a slight bump in the price tag. The Subaru Forester is one of the few all-around small SUVs that shines both on and off the roads. This two-row SUV from Subaru has passed all the tests possible. Not only that, but it also comes with some impressive off-roading capabilities. It may be humble, but it's definitely powerful. However, when it comes to the 2023 model, there are not many changes to this capable SUV. The Forester continues to be a well-balanced pick standing out among its competitors, which includes the Mazda CX-50, the Honda CR-V, the Kia Sportage, and the Volkswagen Tiguan. Nothing has been added or removed in any of the six trim levels of the Subaru Forester. This even applies to the various optional packages that come with them. The performance is very mature and sensible, but the flat four-engine has enough grunt to put a smile on the driver's face when it's taken off the road. The 2023 Subaru Forester still remains a driver's car, and the dynamics are livelier than ever. If you prefer going off-road more, then the best option for you is the Forester Wilderness. But in addition to that, there are five other trim levels. Either way, if you're looking for an affordable option in the small SUV space, then the 2023 Forester is still your best option. The slight price bump does not really cause that much of a difference. As we've seen, the 2023 Subaru Forester still comes in six different trim levels. These include Base, Premium, Sport, Wilderness, Limited, and Touring. The latest addition to this list is the Wilderness trim, and it brings about some major updates that Subaru granted to the Forester in 2022. The Base 2023 Forester trim comes with a starting price of $26,395, which goes up to $36,495 for the top-spec Touring trim. When you compare the 2023 model with the 2022 Forester, you will notice that the prices have increased by about $1,200 across the lineup. However, even with this increase, the competitive optional package pricing is unchanged for 2023, and it continues to provide some additional value to all the trims apart from the Touring trim. One thing about the 2023 Subaru Forester is that it still packs a tried and tested flat-four engine. Subaru remains to be the only automaker that packs a flat-four in bread-and-butter offerings. The 2023 Subaru Forester is still powered by a well-versed 2.5-liter flat-four engine that gives it about 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. All this power is distributed to all four wheels over a standard CVT gearbox. The Forester is quite strong, given that it can tow up to 1,500 pounds. The Wilderness trim is more powerful, towing double what the other trims can. This means that the Wilderness trim can tow about 3,000 pounds comfortably. However, even though this trim is not the most spirited, the Forester has enough low-end grunts to put a smile on your face. Subaru has ensured that the 2023 Forester is highly capable of going off-road. The 2023 Forester is an SUV with a much more dynamic and plated character on the tarmac. But when it comes to some loose soil, this Subaru shows the world what it's made of. It's a very capable machine. Subaru gave this SUV a raised ride height, rugged plastic cladding all around the lower half, and a peppy engine, all of which combine to make for a thrilling off-road experience. Most of the optional packages that are on offer with the 2023 Forester are all intended to make off-roading easier. For an additional $625, you can equip your Forester with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and a ladder-type roof rail. This rail system can carry a dynamic load of about 176 pounds and a static load of about 700 pounds. However, if you want to experience the full power of the Forester when it's off-road, then the Cool Wilderness trim is the one for you. It has extensive chassis and suspension upgrades that jack the ride up by about 9.2 inches, placing it about 0.5 inches higher than all other Forester trims. In addition, it also comes wrapped with Yokohama Geolander all-terrain tires for superior traction levels when it's on loose soil. So far, we've seen that the 2023 Subaru Forester is no different from the previous model, but what about the MPG figures and driving range? Well, the 2023 Forester still remains to be a very efficient all-arounder. Given that there are no tweaks on the powertrain front, the MPG figures are unchanged from last year. Considering the all-wheel drive layout and the athletic engine, the 2023 Forester can give you a combined 29 MPG, which is about 26 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. If you add in the ground clearance and the heightened capabilities of the Forester Wilderness, you will notice that this trim has a lower MPG. The Wilderness Forester gives you a combined 26 MPG, which is about 25 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. The 2023 Subaru Forester can go for about 481 miles on the full tank of gas. The interior of the 2023 Subaru Forester is rugged and full of technology. Subaru made sure that the 2023 model maintained its clever interior. It still has the same rugged style, and it packs the latest technological features there are. The cabin layout is no joke, and it has a straightforward design. The ease of usability and practicality are some of the key aspects that set the Forester's interior apart from its peers. The materials that have been used in the cabin are on the wild side, but they still flaunt a certain degree of plushness. The level of flexibility offered in the 2023 Forester is laudable, and it still comes with flat folding second row seats. These seats can take the 2023 Forester's cargo space from 28.9 cubic feet to about 74.2 cubic feet. All the 2023 Foresters have a standard 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment unit. There's also an 8.0-inch unit that is optional on the Sport trim, but standard on the top two trims. In both cases, the features are plentiful, and each comes with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the 2023 lineup, there are some extra features that are optional, such as more USB ports at the rear and in-built navigation. As much as the 2023 Subaru Forester gives off a lot of power, Subaru has also ensured that it has some clever safety features. The Forester was lauded for packing a commendable safety suite with EyeSight Driver Assist technology. And with that, the 2023 model of the Forester continues to pack some of the most impressive safety features. Each new Forester model has a standard 7 airbags, including a driver's knee airbag. The EyeSight Driver Assist technology includes some features such as automatic emergency steering, blind spot detection with lane-keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control comes standard across all trims. Subaru has not really changed anything with the 2023 Forester unless they fix a few things. The only thing they've changed is the pricing, which costs an extra $1,200 to $1,300 compared to the 2022 model. However, this is understandable given that the car was given a major upgrade for its 2022 model. Therefore, there's nothing new at all with the 2023 model.
