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*

More 2023 Subaru Forester Performance Specs

You don’t have to upgrade to access the most impressive Subaru Forester mpg ratings. Every model comes standard with a 2.5L 4-cylinder BOXER® engine, and even though it’s efficient, it also provides plenty of power: 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque, to be exact.

Even more impressively, the Subaru Forester engine can tow between 1,500 and 3,000 pounds when properly equipped.

With all that said, we know that most Watsovnille and Monterey drivers are drawn to the Forester for its well-known safety and performance features. Even the lineup’s most accessible trims come standard with all of the following:

  • Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
  • X-MODE®
  • Hill Descent Control
  • Active Torque Vectoring
  • Trailer Stability Assist
  • And much more!
