If you pay attention to the vehicles on the roads around Lafayette, you've likely come across the new Subaru Forester on more than a few occasions. The Subaru SUV remains popular due to its versatility, capability, and spacious design. Since Subaru makes multiple trims of this model, drivers in the New Iberia region have a great opportunity to find a new Forester that meets their exact preferences. The Subaru Forester lineup starts with the base model, and it continues with the Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring.
Our Subaru sales specialists understand that Opelousas drivers have many reasons to purchase the Subaru Forester SUVs. Some of the top features of this model include:

As you can see, the Forester has plenty of advantages for Alexandria drivers. The Forester SUV has two comfortable rows of seating with a good-sized cargo area in the back. The second-row bench has a 60/40 split, so you get some flexibility as to how you arrange your cabin. The lower trims have cloth upholstery, while the others could have sport cloth or leather. Heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel reflect some available upgrades.
The Forester feels strong and capable. You can drive around Lake Charles with confidence, thanks to the powerful engine. While it comes with more than 180 horsepower, the Subaru Forester remains efficient. Even better, the Forester comes standard with a symmetrical all-wheel drive system. It can make the right adjustments so you can have excellent traction.
Of course, we can't go over the benefits of driving a Forester without touching on the technology aspect. Subaru used advanced sensors and mitigation systems as part of its Eye-Sight safety package. It also gave the Forester smartphone compatibility and either a 6.5-inch or 8.0-inch touchscreen. Navigation, a premium audio system, and Wi-Fi capability remain available options for our Lafayette customers.
