Why Buy a New Subaru Forester?

Enjoy All-Terrain Performance and Capability

The Subaru Forester comes equipped with a Subaru BOXER four-cylinder engine. You'll get good horsepower with even better fuel economy for your trips around San Diego County. The BOXER engine is a unique setup in that the pistons travel horizontally. This design assists with performance and fuel economy.

The transmission is a CVT with a seven- or eight-speed manual mode available. A symmetrical all-wheel drive setup is standard equipment for all trim models that we carry in our new inventory. The all-wheel drive tech detects if one wheel is slipping and provides more torque to the other wheels. A dual X-Mode is standard on select trim levels and provides a customizable drive mode. There is a snow/mud drive mode for better traction for your off-road journeys near Oceanside, CA.

The new Forester can tow items around Encinitas, including jet skis, canoes, a boat trailer, or a teardrop camper. If you opt for the Wilderness trim model, the towing capacity doubles and allows you to tow items such as a small boat, a small cargo trailer, or a pop-up camper around Vista, CA.

Equip Your Adventures with Modern Technology and Safety

Wireless Apple and Android integration comes standard with the Subaru Forester. There is a multimedia touchscreen in all models, and TomTom's hands-free navigation service is available in select trims. Subaru also has a strong lineup of standard safety features for the new Forester. These amenities include:

  • Pre-collision braking and throttle management
  • Lane departure and sway warning
