Safety
There’s finally a vehicle that cares about you and your family just as much as you do. Whether you’re driving the kids to school or going on a road trip with family and friends, the Subaru Forester will get you there every time.
To keep you, your family and your friends 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. The base-model Rogue scored lower on both the NHTSA Front Driver and Front Passenger Crash Test than the Forester – yet has a higher starting MSRP. Why pay more for lower safety rankings? It’s a no brainer – you shouldn’t. The intelligent and safe choice for your family is the Forester.

Even when driving, you’re doing your part to preserve the environment for future generations. Now that’s what you call love.
The Rogue comes standard as a front-wheel drive vehicle, meaning that only two wheels are in control at all times. With your busy life, the to-do list is never-ending.
