The higher-end Limited, the Touring models, and the rugged-looking Wilderness trim are perfect choices if you're looking for more luxury and off-road prowess. Our experts at Ciocca Subaru of York have compiled this guide to explore the 2024 Subaru Forester's interior features and dimensions to help you make a more informed purchase decision.
Interior Comfort and Cargo
The 2024 Subaru Forester's cabin is a straightforward, ruffle-free affair with a good driving position and great outward visibility. Higher trims, such as the Touring model, feature nicely finished interiors with caramel-colored leather on the seats, dash, and door panels. Textured plastic trim layered on the elegant cabin looks and feels high quality.
The Forester truly shines when it comes to cargo capacity. With the rear seats in place, you can fit an impressive 11 carry-on suitcases behind the back seat. When you fold the rear seats, this number jumps to a whopping 23 carry-ons, surpassing many of its competitors in the compact crossover segment, such as the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4.
The Forester's cargo area is spacious and well-designed, with a wide, square opening that makes loading and unloading a breeze. The low load floor and minimal intrusion from the wheel wells further enhance the vehicle's practicality. If you need even more storage space, the Forester offers roof rails as standard equipment, allowing you to attach a cargo box or bike rack easily.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Every Forester trim includes a touch-screen infotainment system featuring Subaru's newest STARLINK interface as standard. A larger 8.0-inch screen is optional on the Sport model and standard on the Limited and Touring trim levels. The Base, Premium, and Sport models have a 6.5-inch multimedia display. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities are both standard, providing seamless smartphone integration and turn-by-turn directions broadcast from the user's device.
Navigation is optional, but even if you decide to stick with a lower model, you can still utilize the standard smartphone integration features for guidance. Onboard Wi-Fi via 4G LTE technology is standard on all trim levels except for the base Forester, ensuring that you and your passengers stay connected on the go. The front and back areas feature two USB ports each, with the rear having optional ports, allowing your passengers to charge their devices.
The STARLINK infotainment system is user-friendly and responsive, with clear graphics and intuitive menus. The available 8.0-inch display is particularly impressive, offering a wide viewing angle and crisp resolution. The system also includes a variety of apps and services, such as SiriusXM satellite radio, travel information, and access to Subaru's STARLINK Safety and Security services, which include automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle recovery, and remote lock/unlock.
Interior Dimensions
The 2024 Subaru Forester offers a generous amount of passenger and cargo space. With a passenger volume of 108 cubic feet, there's plenty of room for five adults to sit comfortably. The base model has a maximum passenger volume of 111.6 cubic feet.
The cargo area provides 26.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and can reach a maximum of 74.2 cubic feet with the back seats lowered, which is more than adequate for large camping gear or a week's worth of groceries. The Forester's wheelbase measures 105.1 inches, contributing to its stable ride and spacious interior. The vehicle's overall length is 182.7 inches, while its width and height come in at 72.2 inches and 68.9 inches, respectively.
The Forester's interior dimensions are among the most generous in its class, rivaling those of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The front seats offer 43.3 inches of legroom and 40.2 inches of headroom, while the rear seats provide 39.4 inches of legroom and 37.6 inches of headroom. The wide door openings and elevated seating position make getting in and out a breeze, even if you're tall or have limited mobility.
Interior Features and Options
The 2024 Subaru Forester comes well-equipped across all trims, with standard features, such as a touch-screen infotainment system, wireless audio support, and the EyeSight suite of camera-based driver-assistance features. This comprehensive package includes an adaptive cruise control system, automated emergency braking, and lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist for optimal vehicle safety and peace of mind.
Stepping up to the Premium trim adds several desirable features, such as a panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with natural light, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat for optimal comfort, reclining rear seatbacks, an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker sound system. The Sport trim offers a more dynamic appearance with unique exterior and interior accents and the option for the larger 8.0-inch infotainment display.
