CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Subaru Forester

Summary
With 155 currently listed for sale near Fresno, CA and an average price of $25,334, 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.
100.0% 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 | $29,143 |
| Year-Round Low | $29,143 |
| Year-Round High | $31,385 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $31,384 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −7.14% |
Prices have softened 7.14% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 5,191 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2024 Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — the 2024 Subaru Forester earns a 5/5 user rating, and its appeal centers on practicality, all-weather confidence, and everyday usability. Standard all-wheel drive, a spacious interior, and a large cargo area make it especially well suited to buyers who want a useful family vehicle rather than something flashy. It also adds a quieter, more refined cabin with more premium materials and a redesigned dashboard, while still keeping the focus on easy day-to-day livability.
That balance makes it a strong fit if you value visibility, safety, and space over performance flair. The market also shows 36.1% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.
Is the 2024 Subaru Forester reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2024 Forester’s reliability appeal comes from Subaru’s standard all-wheel drive, its safety-focused setup, and its reputation for being easy to live with. It also keeps a straightforward powertrain and a practical cabin layout, which can help reduce ownership complexity compared with more elaborate alternatives.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about novelty and more about condition: a well-kept example should age more predictably than one that has been neglected.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Subaru Forester?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a vehicle history report to confirm the listing’s background and verify that the title and service history line up. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and cabin electronics, since those are the areas where wear and prior use can show up first. Focus on overall condition and maintenance records, especially if you want a Forester that will stay easy to own.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Subaru Forester?
This is a moderate market, so selective buyers can still find value if they compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 5,191 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.14% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $29,143, 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 $29,143 sits slightly below last year's $31,384.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if prices continue to normalize. For a seller, the upside is that the Forester’s practical reputation and broad appeal can still support demand when the vehicle is clean, well maintained, and priced competitively. If you keep mileage reasonable and service records organized, you improve your odds of holding value better than a neglected example would.
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:
- 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.14% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $27,123, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $29,143 average.
- It emphasizes practicality with standard AWD and a roomy cabin.
Consider the 2025 if:
- At $31,593, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $29,143 average.
- It adds more advanced tech and a quieter cabin.
The bottom line: The 2024 is the best all-around choice if you want a balanced mix of value, strong satisfaction, and broad inventory. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the smarter path; if you want newer equipment and can stretch your budget, the 2025 is the upgrade to compare.
