Posted on May 28, 2024
In the pristine landscapes of Edmonton, Alberta, where city drives and mountain adventures beckon, the 2024 Subaru Forester is a reliable companion. The Touring trim, in particular, offers a suite of enhancements that elevate it beyond the base model, making it a compelling choice for discerning drivers.
Infotainment and Comfort
The heart of the Touring trim's upgrades lies in its sophisticated technology and comfort features. While both the base and Touring models share the same 2.5-litre 182-horsepower SUBARU BOXER® engine, the similarities diverge significantly regarding the driver and passenger experience.
The Touring's advanced infotainment system is at the forefront, boasting an 8.0-inch touchscreen compared to the base model's 6.5-inch display. This larger screen enhances visibility and comes paired with six speakers, ensuring a richer audio experience during those long Canadian drives. Connectivity is effortless with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, integrated across both trims, but it's the spatial and auditory upgrade in the Touring that offers a more immersive journey.
Luxury and Practical Enhancements
Comfort in the Touring trim is significantly enhanced with the inclusion of a heated steering wheel and a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, including lumbar support—features not found in the base model. These additions cater to personalized comfort that can change a daily commute into a more luxurious and enjoyable experience.
Moreover, the Touring trim adds a power rear liftgate with a memory function, simplifying access to the cargo space which, although slightly less than the base model's 2,101 litres at 1,957 litres, remains ample and more accessible.
Safety and Driving Assistance
The Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection System (SRVD), including Blind Spot Detection and advanced Rear Cross Traffic Alert, bolsters safety in the Forester Touring. These features, absent in the base model, enhance driver awareness and safety, which are crucial for navigating
Edmonton's diverse traffic conditions and occasional wildlife crossings.
Both trims come equipped with the next-generation EyeSight® Driver-Assist Technology, but the Touring's additional safety features provide peace of mind through enhanced situational awareness, making it a safer, more responsive vehicle.
Stylish Accents and Enhanced Visibility
The Forester Touring's aesthetic appeal is heightened with exclusive access to the elegant Cascade Green Silica colour, setting it apart on the roads. LED fog lights complement this, adding to the vehicle's visibility in Edmonton's variable weather conditions while also augmenting the car's exterior design.
The 2024 Forester Touring in Edmonton, a Step Above
With a modest price increase from the base model's $34,785* to $39,685*, the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring at Rally Subaru offers enhancements that transcend mere luxury, touching on essential aspects of safety, comfort, and technology. For Edmontonians, the Touring trim promises a reliable, all-wheel-drive experience typical of Subaru and ensures a ride steeped in comfort, safety, and style. Whether navigating urban streets or exploring rugged terrains, the Forester Touring stands ready as the superior choice for those seeking more from their vehicle.
