The Forester also features premium cargo capacity, especially when the rear seats are folded. Offering 68 cubic feet of space, it’s a perfectly inviting for pets, no matter how long the road ahead.

A wide variety of factors were considered during the testing process, such as crash test ratings, safety features, fuel economy, easy of entry and exit, cargo area size, availability of tie-down hooks and easy-to clean interiors.
