Updates For The 2020 Model Year

Some drivers around Sparta may be wondering what could have changed between the redesigned Forester just last year and the new 2020 model. There, however, is a few minor updates and a new standard safety feature for the new 2020 Forester. The minor updates include a new exterior color, Magnetite Gray Metallic, and an LED license plate light on the Sport trim level and up. The new standard safety feature is Subaru Rear Seat Reminder to alert drivers to possible children or pets in the rear seat. The Rear Seat Reminder cannot detect the physical presence of children or pets but alerts the drive when three different conditions of the rear doors opening have been met;

• The Forester has been started within 30 minutes after a rear side door is opened and closed
• When a rear side door has been opened and closed while the Forester is running and stationary
• The Forester is turned off and back on again within 30 minutes and the rear side doors have remained closed.
