Inside the cabin, all the new Forester models step up the comfort and accommodations, providing you with comfortable seating for five passengers. There's 111.9 cubic feet of passenger volume in every new Forester model, with an extra 28.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats for all your luggage, groceries, sporting equipment, and more. You'll have your choice of cloth, synthetic leather, premium leather, or suede-input leather interior, helping everyone stretch out and enjoy the ride to Grand Ledge, MI and anywhere else around the world.
