How much does the 2022 Subaru Forester cost?

Prices have softened 8.52% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,773 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Subaru Forester a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Subaru Forester earns a 4.6/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its comfortable ride, safety features, and spacious interior, and many also value its AWD capabilities and technology. The main trade-offs are its potentially polarizing styling and fairly pedestrian performance. For you, that means the Forester makes the most sense if you want a practical compact SUV that prioritizes everyday usefulness over excitement. With 36.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Subaru Forester reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, comfortable, and well suited to long-term use, with many drivers describing it as an excellent all-around SUV. The expert evaluation also emphasizes durability and a knack for holding value over time. Subaru’s maintenance coverage is not highlighted here, so your best protection as a used buyer is to verify service records and focus on examples that show consistent care.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru Forester?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one that has seen rough weather or light off-road use. Pay close attention to overall condition, because the Forester’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and whether its practical features still work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes base, Premium, Sport, Wilderness, Limited, and Touring trims. The base model starts with standard all-wheel drive and a practical cabin, while higher trims add more equipment and the Wilderness brings extra clearance, more body cladding, and a dirt-friendly interior. If you want the best value, the Premium trim is the one to compare carefully against the base model because it adds meaningful convenience without jumping all the way to the pricier upper trims.
• Powertrain: The Forester uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 182 horsepower and a CVT, and all-wheel drive is standard. It is tuned more for everyday usability than quick acceleration, and the Wilderness version adds a CVT calibration Subaru says improves initial torque supply.
• Safety package: EyeSight 4.0 is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and Automatic Emergency Steering. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic braking are also included among the available safety features, while Touring trim adds DriverFocus.
• Infotainment: Base models get a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio, HD Radio, and Starlink connected services. Wilderness, Limited, and Touring trims upgrade to an 8-inch screen with navigation and a Harman Kardon premium sound system, and Premium trim adds access to a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The Wilderness is rated at 26 mpg in combined driving, and the test vehicle returned 25.9 mpg during the drive evaluation.

Which 2022 Subaru Forester trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru Forester is offered in 6 trim levels: base, Premium, Sport, Wilderness, Limited, and Touring.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the simplest way into the Forester, and it already gives you standard all-wheel drive plus the core practicality that defines the model. Choose it if you want the lowest-cost path into the lineup and don’t need the extra convenience features found higher up.
• Premium: This is the trim to watch if you want the best value, because it adds useful everyday upgrades without pushing you into luxury pricing. It also unlocks a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, which makes it a smart middle-ground choice for many shoppers.
• Sport: This trim sits above Premium and gives you a more feature-rich step up if you want a little more equipment without going all the way to the upper trims. It’s a reasonable choice if you want more content but still care about value.
• Wilderness: This is the adventurous trim, with extra clearance, more body cladding, a dirt-friendly interior, and off-road-focused hardware. It suits you best if you plan to spend time on rough roads or want the most rugged version of the Forester.
• Limited: This trim adds the larger 8-inch screen and the upgraded infotainment and audio setup, making it a strong pick if tech matters to you. It’s a good fit if you want a more polished daily driver without going all the way to Touring.
• Touring: This is the most fully equipped version, and it adds DriverFocus for extra driver monitoring. Choose it if you want the most comfort and convenience features in the lineup.

Touring trim also gets DriverFocus, which adds a useful safety and attention-monitoring layer.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru Forester?

The market looks moderately favorable if you’re a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,773 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.52% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,960, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru Forester's resale value?

The current average of $23,960 sits slightly below last year's $26,190.

That price movement suggests the Forester has softened enough to create a better entry point for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to be realistic about expectations. If you buy well now and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may be better positioned than someone who paid closer to last year’s average. The model’s practical reputation and broad appeal should help support demand, especially among shoppers who value standard all-wheel drive and safety.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Subaru Forester safe?

The 2022 Subaru Forester earns five-star ratings in all NHTSA evaluations except rollover resistance, where it gets a four-star assessment.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

EyeSight 4.0 is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and Automatic Emergency Steering. The Forester also includes a rear-seat reminder system, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic braking. Touring trim adds DriverFocus, which monitors for drowsiness and distraction.

Should I buy a 2022 Subaru Forester or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.52% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Subaru adds the new Wilderness trim and upgraded EyeSight tech this year.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,464, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,960 average.
• It offers broad trim coverage and standard AWD.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $26,309, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $23,960 average.
• It adds next-generation EyeSight and an improved standard infotainment system.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, safety, and updated features, the 2022 is the strongest all-around pick. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the value play; if you want the newest refinements and can spend more, the 2023 is the upgrade path.
