IT'S HERE!
THE 2017 SUBARU FORESTER OFFERS ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES AND GREATER COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE
- New Driver Assist Technology
- Improved MPG
- Upgraded Comfort and Style
- Turbo Model Now Features Torque Vectoring
Subaru of America, Inc. announced a comprehensive update to the
2017 Forester including revised styling, new driver assist technology,
more interior comfort, enhanced driving performance, and better fuel
economy. These new features offer the driver greater peace of mind and a
more engaging and comfortable driving experience.
For 2017, Forester received an update to Subaru's highly-rated EyeSight®
Driver Assist Technology, incorporating color cameras that provide a
wider, longer field of vision. The revised system also includes Lane
Keep Assist, which can gently guide the vehicle back to the center of
its lane if sway is detected. All Forester Limited and Touring models
now include Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which
warn of potential danger from a vehicle entering the driver's blind spot
or approaching from either side when backing up. Premium models
equipped with EyeSight also get Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert.
For added night time visibility, newly available High Beam Assist works
in conjunction with the EyeSight driver assist system and automatically
switches the headlights between the high and low settings based on
driving conditions. Also new for driver assistance at night is Steering
Responsive Headlights which aims the headlight beams in the direction
of vehicle travel to provide improved illumination around curves. Both
features are standard on all 2.5i Limited, 2.5i Touring and 2.0XT
Touring models equipped with EyeSight.
With a goal of "all-around safety," 2017 Limited and Touring models
equipped with EyeSight include Reverse Automatic Braking. This new
preventative safety technology is designed to assist the driver by
detecting large objects and to help avoid a possible collision when the
vehicle is moving in a low speed reverse direction. The system uses
four ultrasonic sonar sensors located in the rear bumper cover, and can
automatically stop the vehicle if the driver does not respond.
