Ease of access is achieved through the well-designed waist height of the front seats, whilst the high eye point gives you superb visibility for safer driving. Loading is also made easier, as the rear gate opens wide. This reveals a spacious luggage compartment that will suit a variety of lifestyles. With ample space to store a wide range of items, the entire compartment is designed in the most effective way possible. Leading the way in versatility, the new Forester will cope with whatever life throws at it.

You will always find the perfect seating configuration for you in the Forester. The front seats can be folded flat and the headrests attached to the rear seats create a huge sofa-like area. Whilst the reclining rear seats split 60/40, and one or both can be folded down to suit a variety of different uses.

The multi-functional centre console has been designed to offer you and your passengers' maximum comfort. The convenient sliding armrest includes an auxiliary input jack and 12-volt power outlet, which is ideal for connecting portable audio players or other devices. The console box also includes a removable tray that can be used in various ways and a movable cup holder partition, allowing an A4 sized laptop computer to be stored.

There is a whole host of individual storage areas around the cabin, including a centre tray, overhead console, door pockets with bottle holders and a seat back pocket**.

The middle of the rear seats features a useful retractable tray. Spinning it around reveals a table with a useful tray and two cup holders.
