New Wilderness trim level.
Pros Standard all-wheel drive A full complement of driver assist features are standard Enhanced off-road capability thanks to better-than-average ground clearance Generous cargo capacity
Cons Engine is underpowered Modest tow rating limits maximum utility
Subaru has refreshed the Forester SUV for 2022 with blockier-looking front headlamps, a reworked grille, and new wheel designs. A Wilderness trim joins the lineup and, like the Outback Wilderness, it adds additional ground clearance and a rugged appearance package. Inside, the Forester benefits from new optional gesture controls for the climate control system and a panoramic sunroof as standard equipment on all but the base trim.
Pros Plenty of cargo space, comfortable two-row layout, smooth ride.
Cons Poky acceleration, base model is spartan, not as cool as the Outback wagon.
Pros There are only a few places on earth the Defender can't go, off-road capability doesn't compromise on-road refinement, retro-modern interior.
Cons Could be more fuel efficient, high prices for top models, cargo space is tight in 90 and 110 models.
Pros Strong off-road capabilities Wealth of customization options High-tech safety and off-road features Smooth ride for an off-road-oriented SUV
Cons Options can get pricey Rear door/hatch is heavy and opens toward the curb
