Winter can be particularly brutal here in the New London area. Fortunately, models like the Subaru Forester are well-equipped to handle the unique challenges of winter driving. So, if you're on the hunt for a top-notch SUV that can take on winter without breaking a sweat, we encourage you to check out the new Forester. This compact crossover offers plenty of the features you need to help you traverse snowy roads and slippery surfaces.
What makes the Subaru Forester a good pick for winter drivers? Here's a look at some of the highlights:
Standard All-Wheel Drive
All Subaru Forester models come with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which can be immensely helpful in winter. This refined AWD helps the Forester gain traction on slippery surfaces, giving you the extra dash of capability you need to get moving. Unlike many crossovers and SUVs that offer AWD as an add-on, the Forester has AWD built in, and the framework of its design is built around it.
Ground Clearance and X-MODE
The Forester comes with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. This makes it easier to drive through snow and get yourself unstuck. Paired with standard AWD, generous ground clearance can help you get out of snowed-in driveways. X-MODE is also available to give you an edge on snowy surfaces. X-MODE works to optimize the AWD system to help you gain more traction on slippery roads.
Winter Comfort
Aside from giving you the equipment you need to tackle harsh road conditions in the East Lyme and Groton areas, the Subaru Forester supplies a variety of available features to help you stay warm and comfortable during winter. Available features include:
- Heated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Heated rear outboard seats
You can even opt for a windshield wiper de-icer to help you keep your windshield clear as you drive around the Waterford area!
