While challengers have come and gone, the Subaru Forester has been a stalwart of the midsize SUV segment for more than 20 years. Now joined by competitors like the Mitsubishi ASX, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and Ford Escape, the Forester continues to trade on its genuine off-road ability and its reputation for reliability.
The Subaru Forester is also regarded as one of the most tech-savvy and safest cars in Australia, having achieved a 5 star ANCAP safety rating in 2019. Current pricing ranges between $33,840 (before on-road costs) and $41,940.
