Subaru's continuous improvement results in numerous enhancements for the 2010 Forester, which was an all-new, third-generation model for 2009. The new-generation Forester became the best-selling Forester ever and achieved the highest safety ratings.

For 2010, the Forester includes Bluetooth wireless capability for the available navigation system in Limited trim lines, with a microphone in the overhead console. A revised instrument cluster features easier-to-see colors. In addition, a new map light door interlock switch enables the owner to select the map lights to illuminate with door opening.

The 2010 Subaru Forester blends positive SUV attributes, including a high seating point and interior versatility, with passenger car comfort, handling and fuel efficiency.

All Forester models for 2010 feature standard side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, and the Vehicle Dynamics Control stability and traction control system and Brake Assist safety system are standard. Manual-transmission models also feature Incline Start Assist, which can momentarily prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when being driven away from a stop on an incline.

Forester is offered in five trim lines for 2010. The Forester's 2.5-liter normally aspirated Boxer engine delivers 170 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft. of torque. The Forester 2.5XT models are powered by a revised 2.5-liter turbocharged/intercooled Boxer engine delivering 224 horsepower and 226 lb.-ft. of torque.

As with all Subaru models, the 2010 Forester comes equipped as standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
