November: 2024 Subaru Forester imagined

The new Forester may only been two weeks out from its big unveiling, but we couldn't resist imagining how it might look.

Looking to Subaru's latest new models for inspiration, along with the current fifth-gen Forester and even the Solterra EV, our mate Theottle has whipped up these renders of the new model.

Importantly for we fans of old-school turbo petrol Forester models, the news of a new XT variant gave us plenty of enthusiasm for rendering that variant. Bonnet scoop, baby!

What do you think of this look? We'll know exactly what to expect on November 17, but in the meantime, would you be happy if the new Forester looked like this?

November: 2024 Subaru Forester reveal date set

The upcoming new sixth-gen Subaru Forester will be unveiled on November 17, Australian time, at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The popular Japanese brand is revealing little else for now, although it's offered up on small detail: A cropped photo of an alloy wheel, likely belonging to the anticipated XT flagship – expected to be available immediately from launch.

The full plan is to launch the next-gen Forester with two drivetrains – the existing 2.5-litre petrol flat-four and a “stronger”, more powerful evolution of Subaru’s relatively mild 2.0-litre petrol-hybrid flat-four, which will hopefully improve acceleration and efficiency.

Subaru says the new medium SUV is "an all-new fully redesigned vehicle", but we expect it'll continue the largely familiar and evolutionary styling worn by its latest line-up.

Get more details on the new Forester in our comprehensive story linked in our August update below.
