Ready for long items, or long weekends
Bigger ideas for smaller items
The Forester is well prepared to keep up with your life, from
planned vacations to spontaneous shopping. The cargo area
can accommodate four large suitcases while an array of hooks
helps secure smaller items. For longer items, the rear seats
fold flat with an available one-touch folding rear seat button on
either side.
Ingeniously designed, useful storage abounds throughout
the cabin, including bottle holders in the doors, an overhead
console, and a multi-function centre console with an adjustable
padded armrest.1 An especially thoughtful treat for rear-seat
passengers is a retractable centre armrest with cup holders.2
Child Step
Side Sill
Power Rear Gate 3
The backseat step was designed to ease
entry and exiting for small children. The
wider, non-slip surface has been well
placed so children’s knees land on softer
floor mats instead of harder plastic.
The side sills have been designed to be
as low as possible, making it easy to get
in and out. The side sills also help prevent
snow and dirt from collecting inside the
door frame, helping to keep your clothes
and the interior looking clean.
The power rear gate will take some of the
work out of loading so you can do more
living. One touch of the button on the
instrument panel, the rear gate or key fob,
and it opens automatically.
