The 2019 Subaru Forester is a 21 year old mini SUV/Crossover that has gained many loyal fans over its 2 decades of history, as many Subaru vehicles seem to. Born in 1998, when Subaru released what was then, a “mini-SUV”, a precursor to crossovers in many ways. The introductory Subaru Forester initially was bolted to a Subaru Impreza platform with a Legacy engine. After numerous updates and tweaks the Forester was completely overhauled in 2003 with its own chassis, new standard features and options, a new look and much higher attention to design of the interior and exterior.
After many changes throughout the years including upgraded engines, better horsepower, the last complete redesign of the Forester was in 2014, until the 5th generation Forester in 2019.

“What SUV should I buy?” It’s a question consumers ask themselves every day, but what would online editor Kelly Pleskot drive? Keep reading for the answer and see other editors’ choices here.
The Subaru Forester has long been one of the most competent players in its segment, nabbing our SUV of the Year award in its previous two generations. And now that the compact crossover has been fully redesigned, the Forester is an even stronger entry—perhaps the strongest, in my opinion. Still, its niche status relegates it to the middle of the sales charts. Many people think you don’t need a Forester unless you live in a place with harsh weather or have two kids and as many dogs. But as a dogless, kidless California girl, the 2019 Subaru Forester is the SUV I would pick if I were in the market. Why? Because it makes life easier, even for us sun-indulgent SoCal folk.

The 2023 Subaru Forester.
Reasons to Love Forester The Forester is always ready for your next adventure, whether you’re going into the backwoods or just downtown. Every Forester features the all-weather, all-road confidence of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. That’s more standard capability than the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, or Ford Escape.
Driven- 2019 Subaru Forester Sport
The fifth generation Subaru Forester might look a lot like the outgoing model (and the model before that… and the one before that) but it’s new and packs a number of significant changes. More appealing to both humans and dogs now, it’s safer than ever.
Review: 2019 Subaru Forester Premier
On the grand scale of things Canada is quite a minor player
when it comes to automotive market share. We buy about two million new vehicles
per year. Compare that to the Americans and the Australians who buy more than
double that amount.
However, despite our relatively small market share, we are a
particularly important market for one automaker: Subaru.
Canada has recently overtaken Australia as the third largest market in the world for Subaru. It isn’t difficult to understand why. With a lineup primarily consisting of vehicles that come with proper all-wheel drive standard (only one model doesn’t offer all-wheel drive) and mix that with winter conditions that can last up to half of the entire year, it certainly makes sense that Canadians are flocking to Subaru dealerships.
In fact, this is actually posing a problem for Subaru. They’re
running out of cars because they can’t keep up with Canadian demand. This of
course is a good problem to have,
but with wait times forming up to three months for a new Crosstrek, for
example, the little automaker can’t afford to lose market share due to a lack
of productivity.
They also can’t afford to lose loyal customers who are looking to upgrade to something new. That’s why another all-star seller, the Forester, has recently been revamped to stay competitive in a highly profitable segment.
Now, I’m not saying that Subaru specifically designed the new Forester with Canadians in mind, but they might as well have because they didn’t change the exterior design much. From my very unscientific polling with a sample size smaller than a gnat, it seems a lot of Canadians prefer the boxy-style look. If you put a 2018 model next to a 2019 model you might struggle to see the styling difference. But if you look closely you’ll notice that Subaru has completely reworked the grille, accentuated the headlights (LED headlights are standard on all trims) and re-worked the tail lights. In regards to the latter, I’d like to think that Subaru designers gave a nod to Atlantic Canadians because the tail lights look like lobster claws to this author’s eyes. New wheel designs and splashes of chrome here and there depending on the trim you choose also help the 2019 to stand out from the 2018.
