The Subaru Forester is a versatile SUV with standard all-wheel drive and plenty of cargo room inside, but what kind of features does it have?

Bill Rapp Subaru looks at all the 2019 Subaru Forester technology inside, so that drivers in Syracuse, Oneida, and Liverpool will know what it has to offer.

2019 Subaru Forester Infotainment System

The 2019 Subaru Forester has a colorful touchscreen in the center of its dashboard. This is the home of the SUBARU STARLINK™ Multimedia Plus system. While a 6.5-inch screen is standard, an 8-inch screen is also available.

The system is Bluetooth® compatible and features voice-activated commands, so you can take calls and send and receive text messages without taking your hands off the wheel. It also gives you the freedom to quickly input a new destination into the navigation system while you're driving.

You'll get great music during your drive, too, with iHeartRadio®, SiriusXM® All Access Radio, and the ability to stream music from your phone. Plus, with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ you can control lots of your favorite smartphone apps.

Subaru Forester Technology: Driver Assistance Features

In addition to its advanced airbag system, the 2019 Subaru Forester helps keep you safer with lots of intelligent driver assistance technology features. The Eyesight® Driver Assist Technology system comes standard and watches out for your SUV and helps prevent accidents with features like:

• Pre-Collision Braking System
• Pre-Collision Throttle Management
• Lane Departure and Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control

On top of that, there's an available Blind-Spot Detection feature that lets you know when the coast is clear to change lanes.

You'll also have technology protecting your vehicle when you're backing up. A Rear-Vision Camera comes standard and lets you see what's behind you on your dashboard screen, while the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert lets you know when a car is headed your way.

The Forester even has your back on your longest drives. The DriverFocus™ Distraction Mitigation System can detect when you're drowsy from driving too long or your eyes aren't on the road. It sends you audio and visual alerts to direct your attention back to the road ahead.

2019 Subaru Forester Technology: Mobile App

The 2019 Subaru Forester technology helps get you safely through tough winter conditions. It can also get ready for the winter conditions before you hit the road.

Download the MySubaru app and you'll be able to remote start your engine and adjust the temperature right from your phone. It even allows you to turn on the defrost for the front and rear windshield, as well as change the direction of the airflow inside.
