Safety
There’s finally a vehicle that cares about your family just as much as you do. Whether you’re driving the kids to school or going on a family road trip, the Subaru Forester will get you there every time.
To keep your family safe, the Forester comes standard with numerous safety features. While you’re constantly on the go and looking ahead to the next stop, the rear-vision camera will be on the lookout for what’s behind you. With standard daytime running lights, your path will always be lit – from the moment you start until it’s time for lights out. And with seven standard airbags, there’s plenty of love to go around.
Now with the available EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, you’ll always have an extra set of eyes on the road to protect those closest to you on your daily drives. From pre-collision breaking to adaptive cruise control, Subaru has taken safety to a whole new level.
For Subaru, safety doesn’t end on the production line. Even after you drive off the lot, your safety is still our priority. That’s why every Forester comes with 24-hour roadside assistance for 3 years or 36,000 miles. Whenever you and your family need it, help is just a phone call away.
When it comes to safety, no car manufacturer can compare to Subaru. It’s no surprise, then, that the Forester received a superior rating for front crash prevention from the IIHS, whereas the Escape only received a basic rating. Your family means too much for their safety to be anything less than a top priority. Plus, the Escape has a higher starting MSRP than the Forester. Why should you pay more money for a vehicle that provides less safety? It’s a no brainer – you shouldn’t. The intelligent and safe choice for your family is the Forester.

A vehicle’s performance speaks volumes about the brand’s overall philosophy. At Subaru, we believe that you need a dependable vehicle to accommodate your family’s busy lifestyle.

You’re not only a responsible parent, but also a responsible driver. That’s why Subaru has made the Forester a vehicle you can be proud to own. With 32 highway MPG1 and Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) status2, being on the move has never felt so good. Even when driving, you’re doing your part to preserve the environment for future generations. Now that’s what you call love.
The Escape comes standard as a front-wheel drive vehicle, meaning that only two wheels are in motion at all times. With your busy life, the to-do list is never-ending. You need a dependable vehicle that can get you to the next stop – no ifs, ands, or buts. When you don’t have the luxury of time, why would you get in the driver’s seat of a two-wheel drive vehicle?

Passenger & Cargo Space
The Forester has lots of room for lots of possibilities. With 108.3 cubic feet of cabin space, front and rear passengers alike can be comfortable on the drive. And, when you fold down the 60/40 split rear seats, 74.7 cubic feet of cargo space becomes available. That’s plenty of room for those soccer bags, backpacks, and whatever else you pick up on the way.
When inside the Escape, you’ll certainly be able to tell that space is limited. With only 98.1 cubic feet of passenger space, your family might get a little cramped. Why settle for less space in the Escape, when you can feel at home in the Forester? Your family can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
