The full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides excellent traction and stability, while X-Mode with hill descent control helps the Forester tackle gravel roads, wet conditions, snow and more challenging terrain with confidence.
The X Sport stands out from the standard Forester with its distinctive sporty styling, including 18-inch black alloy wheels, black exterior trim, orange exterior accents and silver roof-rail tie-down points. Inside, the sporty theme continues with water-repellent upholstery and orange stitching, making it particularly well suited to an active lifestyle.
