Money matters when it comes to finding a vehicle that fits your lifestyle both financially and with the features that make your life convenient. The Subaru Forester has everything you need and more, like standard all-wheel drive on every model. You won't have to pay extra for superior traction and performance in the Subaru Forester, unlike the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, which offer all-wheel drive at a higher price point or as an optional upgrade. Overall, the Subaru Forester is the most affordable vehicle without sacrificing any features you need.

Subaru Signature All-Wheel Drive

Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is legendary because it delivers the capability to handle tricky road conditions like unpaved, rutted roads or sudden weather changes so common in Vermont. With standard symmetrical all-wheel drive on every model, you can feel confident that no matter which Subaru you choose on our St. Alban's lot, you'll be able to handle tricky road conditions and off-road trails for fun with confidence. All-wheel drive is typically a premium feature for other car brands like Toyota and Honda. You'll have to either pay for a more expensive trim level or add on all-wheel drive for a premium to ensure you have the capability to handle life in the Green Mountain State.

Off-Road Capabilities

Off-road manners are more than just about all-wheel drive. The Subaru Forester also has 8.7 inches of ground clearance and selectable drive modes to take the guesswork out of tuning your vehicle for rougher terrain. Ride quality is important, too. You want a vehicle that can handle tough roads without jostling passengers around. Experience great ride quality in the Subaru Forester thanks to a responsive double-wishbone rear suspension system and an ultra-smooth continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The RAV4 and CR-V are better suited to smooth paved roads as they don't even come close to offering the same amount of ground clearance - barely eight inches. Enjoy more freedom to conquer all types of road conditions and trails with an off-road-ready 2025 Subaru Forester.
