The 2017 Subaru Forester 2.5i Limited stands as a definitive, highly reliable benchmark in the compact crossover segment, masterfully engineered for business professionals, daily commuters, and weekend adventurers who demand absolute all-weather traction alongside premium interior comfort.

It functions beautifully as a quiet, reassuring mobile office during the workweek, yet effortlessly transforms into an unstoppable, trail-ready overland asset on the weekend.

Core Performance and All-Weather Dynamics

• Subaru BOXER® Core: A highly balanced 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder Horizontally Opposed BOXER® engine generating a responsive 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque.

• Lineartronic® CVT: Power is managed by a fluid, highly efficient Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) featuring a specialized manual shift mode, delivering a seamless and linear wave of daily commuter acceleration.

• Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: Standard, legendary Symmetrical AWD network that permanently distributes power to all four wheels simultaneously, automatically calculating grip thresholds to guarantee absolute flat-folding traction control through severe rainstorms, muddy trails, or freezing winter road hazards.

• Advanced X-MODE® System: A center console-mounted control switch that instantly optimizes engine output, transmission ratios, and the AWD power split while activating Hill Descent Control to handle steep, slippery, or uneven downhill off-road slopes with absolute mechanical poise.

Refined Contemporary Exterior Styling

• A bold, high-profile front fascia anchored by a sleek chrome-framed main grille layout, muscular lower body cladding, and automatic projector-beam halogen headlamps.

• Elegant, wind-tunnel-carved body contours complemented by a sweeping roofline, integrated roof side rails, deep-tinted rear privacy glass, and a large Panoramic Power Moonroof.

• Aerodynamic, body-color heated power side mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators that actively prevent ice accumulation during freezing morning commutes.

• Striking 17-inch machine-finished aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance all-season tires that perfectly complement its towering 8.7 inches of ground clearance.

• A clean, modern rear profile equipped with a standard roofline sport spoiler, a rear window wiper, and a highly convenient power-adjustable lifting tailgate.

Tech-Forward Leather Sanctuary

• Premium Leather Accommodations: Deeply cushioned comfort front seats draped in premium, heated genuine leather upholstery featuring a 10-way power driver's adjustment, power lumbar support, and driver seat memory settings.

• Serene Cabin Architecture: Engineered with newly standard acoustic laminated front door glass windows, thicker floor mats, and enhanced door seals that actively block out harsh highway road noise.

Practicality, Efficiency, and Safety Shield

• Massive Cargo Versatility: Opening the Power Liftgate reveals a highly generous, class-leading 31.5 cubic feet of cargo trunk space behind the second row. Utilizing the electronic quick-release levers to drop the 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks completely flat, the cabin expands to a cavernous 68.5 cubic feet of flat load volumeto transport professional camera gear, large travel luggage sets, or commercial marketing inventory.

• Exceptional Fuel Capacity: Backed by a substantial 15.9-gallon fuel tank, this optimized crossover achieves an efficient, budget-friendly EPA-estimated 26 MPG city / 32 MPG highway (28 MPG combined), yielding a reliable long-distance highway driving range of over 500 miles on a single fill-up.

• Advanced Safety Safety Cage: Built on an ultra-high-strength steel ring-shaped reinforcement frame safety cage engineered to absorb heavy impact forces, securing a perfect 5-star overall crash test safety rating from the NHTSA.

• EyeSight® Driver Assist (Available): Standard active electronic safety nets include Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) with traction control and a high-resolution Rear Vision Camera. When equipped with the available EyeSight® safety package, the vehicle deploys standard:
