Exterior and Interior Features

One of the significant traits you’ll notice about the outer shell of the 2023 Forester is the standard black folding side mirrors. These elements are found across various trim levels, but the Sport and Limited iterations have available integrated turn signals. Most editions of the Forester also carry a panoramic power moonroof¹. While sitting in the captain’s seat, you can change the settings of your chair using the 10-way power-adjustable configurations, which come with lumbar support for the Touring variation. Heated front seats are also standard in most trim levels along with premium upholstery that maximizes your comfort. If you plan on hauling a few items on South Archer Avenue, use the 60/40 split-fold rear-fold seatbacks for more cargo space. 

Technology

In addition to the available dual-zone climate configurations at the center stack, the 2023 Subaru Forester has a 6.5-inch touchscreen² mounted on the dashboard. Drivers who gave a bigger budget can get an iteration of the Forester with an available 8.0-inch touch display. Most of all, you can navigate through the operating system to find entertainment through the standard 6-speaker audio system. The touchscreen can also use an optional 4G LTE Wi-Fi³. With this digital component, you can connect to the internet. For a personalized experience, use Apple CarPlay®⁴ or Android Auto™⁵ to listen to custom playlists while driving on streets like West Cermak Road. As you enjoy the plethora of options, your crew mates will be impressed with the Forester’s innovation.

Performance

Despite its vehicle class, the Subaru Forester is equipped with specifications that make it a strong competitor among other compact SUVs. Lift the hood of this ride and take a moment to admire the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which delivers 182 horsepower and 176 lb.-ft. of torque. A standard Continuously Variable Transmission and Symmetrical AWD provide ample acceleration, gear ratios, and traction, respectively. When these mechanical factors work together, they produce efficiency that helps you get from one destination to the next without using much fuel. Plus, you’ll have a 3,000-lb. maximum towing capacity when piloting this set of wheels. For a closer look at this compact SUV, visit our location during open hours

5 Star Service! A couple shout-outs. Jeff helped us get moving on a build sheet and purchase order, and was extremely communicative and friendly! We loved working with him while we waited for our car. Derek helped us finalize the order and all of our information, and did a great job. Ken was fantastic on the day-of walking us through all the information on our new car and having a smile throughout! Really incredible staff, as well as a really incredible car!

Eddie my service guy was exceptional.

Eddie my service guy was exceptional. He originally got a “no” from the warranty company about my coverage, but called them back and talked to a supervisor. He persisted and got my repair covered, as it should be. It said it right there on the contract. He also worked with me on the best price for tires. Eddie was great! My only snafu was in picking up my car (the next morning because there was no courtesy driver available). I paid, then waited 10-15 minutes for my car to be driven up, which it never was. I finally walked around and found it, right outside the garage and tracked down someone to just give me my keys. Clearly, there was a mess up in communicating to someone to get me my car, even though both the cashier and a guy whose attention I was able to get said it should be coming soon.

They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

I bought this 2010 Forrester for my sister 12 years ago. We have taken our car to Evanston Subaru for all our service needs and have always been treated well. I recommend this dealership. It is staffed with good people and competent mechanics. The facility is always clean. This is noticeable. They even wash my car without being asked.. When the service personnel recommend areas needing attention, I trust them for caring for our safety. They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind.

Great. I called first so it would be OK to get my 2018 Subaru Forester towed in because the engine oil light came on, with a message on my dashboard. George told me since I didn't have an appointment it would be worked on the next day. (The towing service was great). They found a quart of oil missing, and some other things to fix. George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind. Then they always fill the tires with air, and give a free carwash before I go. The technicians worked really hard in 104 degree weather. I waited in the waiting area: free coffee, water and a granola bar. Thank you!

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful.

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful. That said, Eric is a cut above — he's just incredible. We recently had to get a good amount of work done on our 2015 Forester which had not been taken in for some time. Eric walked me through several different options for repairs and servicing, all with different price breakdowns, and made sure I understood what each service/repair was and why he recommended it. He also worked with his service manager to get me a great deal by not charging to replace our AC condenser which had stopped working. I had stopped going to this location because we moved and it wasn't as convenient, but after this most recent experience with Eric I will only take my Forester here. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
