New Subaru Forester for Sale near Somerville, NJ
The Subaru Forester is a well-rounded compact crossover, combining comfort, practicality, and capability in a conveniently sized package. It offers a spacious cabin, flexible cargo capacity, appealing features, and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. It's well-suited to various adventures, both on and off the road. Subaru recently redesigned the Forester for its sixth generation, giving it a quieter, more refined cabin, upgraded technology, and a handsome new look - and Somerville shoppers can find it here at Ciocca Subaru of Flemington.
Performance
The Subaru Forester's under-the-hood motivation comes from a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® powerplant with 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. This unique flat-four engine gets its name from the horizontally opposed piston layout, which enables capable performance with less engine vibration. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard across the Forester lineup, and all trims above the base model get added traction support of Subaru X-MODE®.
Wilderness®
While the Forester's sixth-gen redesign did not initially include the Wilderness models, the rugged trim level will continue as a 2024 model alongside the all-new 2025 Forester. The Wilderness trim elevates the Forester's adventure-ready capability with terrain-tuned suspension, increased ground clearance (9.2 inches), Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires, a dual-function X-MODE® system, plus Low Ratio Gradient Control for better hill climbing. Other attributes include a 180-degree Front-View Monitor and reinforced roof rails with a 700-pound stationary load limit - ideal for a rooftop tent.
Interior
The Subaru Forester delivers accommodations and practicality for all your Somerville outings, whether commuting to work up Bridge Street, enjoying an afternoon at Duke Farms, or taking in the scenery around the Washington Valley Reservoir. The cabin is spacious and modern, with an intuitive layout, ample headroom and legroom, and ergonomic seats. Most Subaru Forester models have a 27 cubic-foot cargo area for your luggage, gear, or groceries, which can expand to 69.1 cubic feet by folding the 60/40-split rear seats. However, as the base trim level doesn't include a panoramic sunroof, it offers even more carrying capacity: 28.9 cubic feet behind the second row and 74.2 cubic feet behind the first.
Numerous comforts and conveniences are available across the Forester lineup, including standard items like dual-zone automatic climate control, roof rails, and steering-responsive headlights. The All-Weather Package is included in all but the base trim, adding heated, power-adjustable front seats, heated side mirrors, and a windshield wiper de-icer. Depending on your selected trim level/option configuration, you can enjoy additional experience-enhancing amenities for your Somerville travels, including:/p>

Infotainment and Safety Technology
The Subaru Forester revamped its STARLINK® Multimedia system as part of its recent sixth-gen redesign. Beginning with the 2025 model year, the base trim includes dual 7-inch touchscreens (for infotainment and cabin controls), as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for convenient access to various smartphone features. All higher trim levels upgraded to an 11.6-inch STARLINK® Multimedia Plus touchscreen, plus cord-free connectivity courtesy of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a wireless charging pad.
Like all Subaru SUVs, the Forester comes standard with the Subaru EyeSight® suite of advanced driver aids. So, no matter what trim you choose, you'll get assistive technologies like:
- Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management

Additional driver aids are available via higher tiers and packages, including Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Reverse Automatic Braking, and a new-for-2025 360-degree Surround View Monitor.
