Drivers can fine-tune performance using the SI-DRIVE selectable mode transmission and activate X-MODE with Hill Descent Control for enhanced stability on uneven terrain. Built on a four-wheel independent suspension with strut front and double wishbone rear setups, the Forester delivers a smooth, composed ride without sacrificing agile suburban handling.
