Subaru has announced that its Forester will get a slight price bump for the 2016 model year.
The latest generation was introduced for the 2015 model year, but not in time to be outfitted with Subaru’s new StarLink range of security and safety features. The satellite-connected technology, which includes the safety subscription bundle free for the first year of ownership, is accompanied by a $200 higher base price.
The entry-level Forester now fetches $23,245 (including $850 freight), pairing a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual transmission and symmetrical all-wheel drive. Upgrading to the continuously variable transmission adds another $1,000.
The base model also integrates a StarLink 6.2-inch single-touch infotainment system, while the Premium, Limited and Touring trims add a 7.0-inch multi-touch display.
The Premium package now commands $26,145 with a manual gearbox or $26,645 with a CVT, while the Limited package starts at $29,645 and the Touring fetches $31,645. Stepping up to the 2.0XT engine brings the Limited and Touring prices up to $30,045 and $34,645, respectively.
