The Subaru Forester debuts revised styling, new driver assist technologies, more interior comfort, and better fuel economy for 2017.

The exterior of the 2017 Forester receives several updates including a refined front bumper cover and a new hexagonal grille. The redesigned headlights have a sleeker look with Subaru's signature C-shaped motif and a black inner bezel, while the rear combination lights also feature a prominent C shape with LED illumination.

2017 Forester models now feature an updated steering wheel design with intuitive audio, Bluetooth and cruise control switches.

Also new for 2017 is a quicker steering ratio for an improved feel. Additional enhancements include added soundproofing, thicker door glass and restructured door seals to reduce wind noise, underfloor insulation and an acoustic windshield which create a quieter, more refined interior.

The 2017 Forester 2.5i is available in standard, Premium, Limited and Touring trims and is powered by a 170-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder BOXER engine. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard for the 2.5i and 2.5i Premium, with the CVT available as an option.

In Forester Premium, Limited, and Touring models with CVT, driver-selectable X-Mode engages to optimize control of the engine, transmission shift pattern, all-wheel drive system, brakes, and other critical systems to provide better wheel control on slippery surfaces and steep inclines.

The Forester 2.0XT is available in both Premium and Touring trims and powered by a 250-hp 2.0-liter intercooled, turbocharged 4-cylinder BOXER engine.

For 2017, Forester gets an update to Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, incorporating color cameras that provide a wider, longer field of vision. The revised system now includes Lane Keep Assist, which can gently guide the vehicle back to the center of its lane if sway is detected.
