Just like every other Subaru vehicle except the BRZ coupe, the Forester comes standard with all-wheel drive, even in base trim. The biggest news for 2022 is the addition of a more adventurous model called Wilderness. This one boasts increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, black alloy wheels and more rugged styling. All Foresters get a few tweaks, too, plus new body colours and enhanced EyeSight technology for safer driving.
