The Subaru Forester received a design and technology refresh for the 2022 model year. The company isn’t changing any of the features for the 2023 model. The price is something different, though. All six trim levels cost $1,300 more than last year after factoring in the $100 increase in destination charges. These vehicles begin arriving in showrooms in December.
The table below compares the price of the 2023 model year to the 2022 version:
Trim level | 2023 model year pricing (including $1,225 destination charge) | 2022 model year pricing (including $1,125 destination charge) | Price change |
Base | $27,620 | $26,320 | $1,300 |

Limit | $34,300 | $33,000 | $1,300 |
Tour | $37,720 | $36,420 | $1,300 |
All Forester trims except the Touring are available with an option package. Their prices don’t change for the 2023 model year. For $625, the base version gets 17-inch aluminum wheels and ladder-style roof rails that can handle a static load of 700 pounds (318 kilograms).
