2023 Subaru Forester driving through the wilderness
You need a compact SUV that can do it all, and you can’t afford to compromise on any front. That’s why you’re considering the 2023 Subaru Forester, a spacious compact SUV with a reliable, long-lasting powertrain and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. You’ve only got one more question before you commit: is this year’s Subaru Forester good on gas?

The answer: definitely. The 2023 Subaru Forester mpg ratings top out at 33 mpg highway and 26 mpg city*, so you can go further and get more done without worrying about fuel costs.

How Many Miles Per Gallon Does the 2023 Subaru Forester Get?

Choosing an SUV with all-wheel drive is the easiest way to provide increased security to your passengers, especially if you often find yourself driving in harsh storms—or simply want the ability to drive off-pavement. AWD SUVs tend to be less efficient than their front-wheel drive counterparts, but the Subaru Forester gas mileage proves that the trade-off doesn’t have to be painful.

Whether you’re road-tripping or running errands in Santa Cruz, gas money is the last thing that you should be stressed out about. The Subaru Forester mpg ratings provide peace of mind:

Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Touring Trim Fuel Economy

  • Highway: 33 MPG*
  • City: 26 MPG*

Wilderness Trim Fuel Economy: 

  • Highway: 28 MPG*
  • City: 25 MPG*
