The new-generation Subaru Forester doesn't stray too far from the functional aesthetic of the previous models, but it's loaded up with new tech and more premium cabin quality.
This new generation makes Subaru's EyeSight camera system standard equipment, bringing with it standard adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
Subaru's global platform underpins the 2019 Forester, which shares its 2.5-liter engine and all-wheel drive powertrain with Subie's Impreza and Crosstrek.
The StarLink Plus infotainment system features a large 8-inch display, an intuitive menu system and, perhaps most importantly, standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
One of the most unique features the 2019 Forester debuts is the camera-based DriverFocus attention monitoring system that uses facial recognition to determine if the driver is distracted, dozing or incapacitated.
