Subaru Forester · Generation 6 · Japan · 04.2025 - present. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Generation and equipment description ↗

Power tailgate
Check a complete opening and closing cycle, the opening height and operation from the available controls.
Folding rear seats
This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
Panoramic roof
Check the glass, blind and headroom. Whether the roof opens depends on the specification.
Ventilated seats
Try the different settings and listen to the fans. Seat upholstery alone does not establish that this feature is fitted.
Lane-keeping assistance
Confirm whether the system warns the driver or also provides steering assistance. Check its settings and error messages.
