The new Subaru Wilderness is an exceptional addition to the 2022 Forester lineup at Scenic Subaru. The 2022 Forester Wilderness takes the spacious crossover and incorporates a stylish, rugged appearance and supreme off-road prowess. All 2022 Forester trims come with upgrades such as new headlights and front fascia, the latest EyeSight® driver-assist technology and the newest in Subaru's suite of modern safety features. Here are the features that make the 2022 Forester Wilderness stand out among other compact SUVs in Mount Airy, NC.
Exterior Design
Although new Forester models feature new front-end designs, the 2022 Forester Wilderness incorporates segmented LED fog lights, unique front fascia for improved off-road design, matte black 17-inch wheels comprising all-terrain tires and bold fender wall cladding. Also, the vehicle's hood comes with a large flat-black anti-glare applique.
In addition to this, it has a ladder-type roof rack that comfortably supports up to 800 pounds when parked. This is great for a rooftop tent. When driving, the rack easily holds a load of up to 220 pounds. A grille available on the Wilderness trim, slightly anodized copper-finish accents, bold Subaru Wilderness badges and black trim pieces complete the car's overall appearance. Like any other Forester model, LED headlights come as a standard.
Interior Design
The anodized copper finish on the exterior is available on the interior too. This crossover's interior flaunts Subaru's water-resistant StarTex® upholstery with contrasting copper stitching and Wilderness logos. The all-weather rear seat-back protectors and floor mats keep the car's interior clean when the trip gets muddy. What's more, the pedals incorporate aluminum covers.
The dash has a mounted console control and an 8-inch infotainment screen. You can quickly control the crossover's enhanced X-MODE dynamic off-road system from the screen. Also, the vehicle includes a panoramic power moonroof, reclining rear seats and leather-wrapped steering shifter and wheel.
Performance and Powertrain
A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque powers the all-wheel-drive new Subaru Forester Wilderness. Although all Foresters include continuously variable automatic transmissions (CVTs), this model incorporates an exclusive CVT model. Compared to the standard Forester CVT, the Wilderness's CVT has revamped gear rations that offer improved hill-climbing and low-speed abilities. The paddle shifters, on the other hand, lets you simulate the traditional eight-speed automatic.
Infotainment and Connectivity
As said earlier, the Wilderness has an eight-inch touch screen infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Also, a six-speaker audio system comprising steering wheel-mounted controls is available as a standard. The best thing about the vehicle's infotainment system is that you can upgrade it to include navigation or a nine-speaker premium audio system from Harman Kardon. A subscription-based 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is available, and two USB ports are added for the front-seat passengers. An extra USB port exists for back seat passengers.
Tech and Safety Features
All 2022 Foresters feature the newest in Subaru's advanced EyeSight® safety and drive-assist technologies. For example, the latest safety system has a wider-area sensor for enhanced detection under an extended range of situations.
The new system has adaptive cruise control, lane centering and automatic emergency braking. It also features rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high-beam headlights and reverse automatic braking.
Towing and Cargo Hauling
The new standard models can seamlessly tow as much as 1,500 pounds, while a Wilderness with the improved CVT can tow up to 3,000 pounds. In addition, besides having one of the largest cargo spaces amongst crossovers, the Wilderness flaunts several hidden storage spaces under the rear cargo floor. What's more, it has a number of cargo tie-downs, and the rear seats can fold down to offer extra cargo room.
In the end, the new Subaru Forester Wilderness is one of the best crossovers on the Mount Airy, NC market. The new trim level is a solid vehicle thanks to its durability and capability. It's sure to take you on some incredible adventures, so don't hesitate to call us a schedule a test drive!
