    Subaru Forester 2024

    Subaru Forester 2024

    FROM
    $33,440

    The 2024 Subaru Forester range of configurations is currently priced from $35,990.

    Our most recent review of the 2024 Subaru Forester resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Journalist Chris Thompson had this to say at the time: Don’t let the 7.5/10 make you think the Forester is not a good car. For the person who needs a practical, off-road-capable mid-size family SUV without too many complications, it’s extremely hard to look past this thing.

    This is what Chris Thompson liked most about this particular version of the Subaru Forester: Hard to beat practicality, Easy driving experience, Ride height and capability

    The 2024 Subaru Forester carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    The Forester’s interior is decidedly traditional with its gearshifter, CD player and press-buttons and dials. The dashboard and doors feature heavy cutaways and ledges, making it look robust and capable.

    The dashboard is headlined by two screens – an 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system and a smaller 4.2-inch information panel. While the instrument panel is a mix of analogue and a 6.3-inch digital panel.

    A large sunroof is available on higher grades.

    Subaru Forester 2024 FAQs

    Issues with brakes in a 2024 Subaru Forester

    Any time the brakes (or any other system of a car) start to feel different than they have done since you bought the car, there’s probably something wrong. If it was an older car, I’d suggest a brake fluid change as the first step, but that’s unlikely to be the reason in an almost-new car. The problem sounds like there’s air in the braking system (there should only be brake fluid, and no air) but, again, that’s a wild card in such a new vehicle.

    In any case, you’re doing the right thing by having the car independently tested. If the results come back suggesting a problem, you have good ammunition to get the dealership to fix this as a warranty matter. Make sure you get a written report from the mechanic detailing the braking system’s performance, and don’t be afraid to go over the dealer’s head to Subaru Australia’s customer service department.
