The 2023 Subaru Forester is packed with innovative features that enhance comfort, convenience, and safety. From advanced technology to practical functionalities, the Forester offers an impressive array of options to cater to a wide range of needs. In this article, we will explore the top features that make the 2023 Subaru Forester stand out.
Automatic Vehicle Hold (AVH)
AVH is a driver-selectable feature that reduces driving fatigue. It lets you bring the vehicle to a complete stop and remove your foot from the brake. Whether you’re sitting at traffic lights, dealing with heavy traffic, or waiting for a train, this feature holds the vehicle in place, providing convenience and reducing driver effort.
Memory Tailgate
To accommodate different parking situations, the Forester features a Memory Tailgate. This allows you to program the exact height to which the tailgate will raise for your specific circumstances. If you park in a garage with limited space, you can set the tailgate to a height that ensures it won’t rise too high. Watch the video below to learn how to program the Forester tailgate.
Panoramic Sunroof Function
The 2023 Forester boasts a spacious and stunning panoramic sunroof. While it opens seventy percent of the way by default, you have the option to extend it fully by simply holding the button again. This feature lets ample natural light and fresh air into the cabin, enhancing the driving experience and creating an open, airy atmosphere.
Rear Camera Wash Feature
Maintaining clear visibility is crucial, particularly when using the rear backup camera. The Forester addresses this concern with its Rear Camera Wash Feature. If the camera lens becomes dirty, you can easily clean it by utilizing the windshield washer function. Simply push the washer knob forward, and it will clean both the windshield and the rear camera lens, ensuring a clear view while reversing.
Remote Start from Smartphone
The 2023 Forester offers the convenience of remote start through your iPhone. With Subaru’s Starlink safety and security subscription, you can program the Forester’s climate control, set the windshield defroster and heater fan speed, lock and unlock the car, and even turn on the lights, all from the convenience of your smartphone. This feature adds a new level of control and comfort to your driving experience.
Reverse Automatic Braking
Enhancing safety during reversing maneuvers, upper trim levels of the Forester come equipped with Reverse Automatic Braking. If you’re backing out of a blind spot and the vehicle detects an approaching vehicle that you cannot see, the Forester will automatically engage the brakes to prevent a collision. Before the braking occurs, an audible alert will notify you of the potential danger, providing an additional layer of safety.
