CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Subaru Forester
Summary
With 5,237 currently listed for sale and an average price of $29,256, 34.2% of 2024 Subaru Foresters for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 Subaru Forester 5 / 5 stars.
91.7% of 2024 Forester models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2024 Subaru Forester stands out as a compact SUV that emphasizes practicality, all-weather confidence, and everyday usability. Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive is standard, and the Forester’s reputation for reliability, safety, and strong visibility remains central to its appeal. It also offers a spacious interior and a large cargo area, which makes it especially attractive to buyers who want a useful family vehicle rather than something flashy.
For 2024, the Forester’s appeal is rooted in its balanced setup. It uses a 2.5-liter boxer engine paired with a continuously variable transmission, and the available fuel economy is competitive at 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Subaru also equips every model with EyeSight driver assist technology, while higher trims add features such as the 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and additional comfort and convenience upgrades. The cabin benefits from more premium materials, a redesigned dashboard, and increased insulation, all of which help the Forester feel quieter and more refined than its practical mission might suggest.
There are a few tradeoffs to keep in mind. The CVT can feel sluggish, and there is no turbocharged engine option in this generation. Even so, the 2024 Subaru Forester remains appealing because it combines standard AWD, useful space, and a strong safety focus in a package that is easy to live with.

Love the visibility in the Forester, the safety features and the comfortable, quiet ride. Also, the resale value forced us to buy new as the new prices were not that much higher than late model used.

How much does the 2024 Subaru Forester cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $29,250 |
| Year-Round Low | $29,250 |
| Year-Round High | $31,443 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $31,442 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −6.97% |
Prices have softened 6.97% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 5,257 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.
Is the 2024 Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — 5/5 is a strong user rating for the 2024 Subaru Forester. The overview points to a compact SUV built around practicality, all-weather confidence, and everyday usability, with standard all-wheel drive, a spacious interior, and a large cargo area. It also emphasizes strong visibility and a family-friendly layout, which makes it a sensible choice if you want usefulness over flash. 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2024 Subaru Forester reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The overview reinforces that reliability is part of the Forester’s core appeal, alongside safety and easy day-to-day ownership. Standard all-wheel drive and a straightforward powertrain setup support its reputation as a dependable compact SUV. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is more about accepting its modest performance tradeoffs than worrying about a complicated mechanical package.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Subaru Forester?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a vehicle history report and confirm the listing’s condition matches the seller’s description. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, cargo area, and overall wear, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on everyday usability. Focus on how the vehicle drives and whether its practical features still feel well cared for.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Subaru Forester?
This looks like a moderate market where selective buyers can still find value.
- Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 5,257 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.97% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $29,250, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2024 Subaru Forester's resale value?
The current average of $29,250 sits slightly below last year's $31,442.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the softer pricing means you should pay close attention to purchase price and condition so you do not start too far above market. The Forester’s practical reputation and broad appeal should still help it hold buyer interest over time.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2024 Subaru Forester or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2024 if:
- 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.97% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $27,197, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $29,250 average.
- It emphasizes practicality with standard AWD and a roomy cabin.
Consider the 2025 if:
- At $31,608, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,250 average.
- It adds more advanced tech and a quieter cabin.
The bottom line: The 2024 is the best all-around path if you want a well-liked Forester with strong market availability and a softer price trend. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the better secondary path; if you want newer equipment and can stretch your budget, the 2025 is the upgrade to compare.
