Performance and Powertrain

The 2017 Subaru Forester pairs Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with a smooth, efficient powertrain that handles changing Colorado weather with ease. Most models use a responsive four-cylinder engine matched to a Lineartronic CVT for seamless acceleration and confident passing on US‑34. For added punch, certain models offer a turbocharged engine that delivers brisk power for mountain drives; those turbo models typically require premium unleaded as specified by Subaru. Real-world drivers in Greeley, Evans, and Loveland appreciate the balanced efficiency, surefooted traction, and composed ride over rougher backroads.

Whether you’re commuting across Greeley, Colorado, or heading north toward Fort Collins, the Forester’s AWD traction and ground clearance inspire confidence in rain, slush, and light snow. Hill-start assist and X‑Mode on select models further optimize control on steep grades and low-traction surfaces without complicating your routine.
