Subaru Forester is getting a mid-life makeover for 2022. It has a revised headlight, foglight, front bumper and grille treatment as well as numerous technology and suspension upgrades.
Retuned front suspension coil springs and dampers improve ride comfort, steering responsiveness and handling. New aluminium engine mount bracket reduces vibrations and noise.
Foresters with the Driver Monitoring System gain gesture-controlled temperature adjustment for the air-conditioning, a new feature for Subaru that enables drivers to adjust the temperature via a simple hand gesture.
In all models other than the Forester 2.5i, Adaptive Driving Beam is updated to an array headlight system.
An eight-inch touchscreen is now standard across the range, previously the Forester 2.5i, 2.5i-L and Hybrid L had 6.5-inch screens.
An updated instrument panel design is introduced in Forester 2.5i Premium, 2.5i Sport and 2.5i-S.
Forester 2.5i Sport has a circular foglight design with six LED lights and geometric black door mirrors Inside, there are gunmetal and orange interior highlights throughout the cabin
Forester 2.5i-S and Hybrid S have new alloy wheel designs. The Forester 2.5i-S gets platinum coloured armrest inserts.

Subaru Australia General Manager, Blair Read, said: “We’ve never had greater demand for Subaru SUVs and current generation Forester is leading the charge.
