2022 Subaru Forester 2.5i-L S5 MY23 AWD

The 2022 Subaru Forester 2.5i-L is still the grown-up in the SUV room — but not in a boring way.

It’s the one that knows how to handle a muddy track, a packed boot, or a last-minute school run — all without breaking a sweat or needing a touch-screen tutorial.

While the others are busy pretending to be off-roaders or playing the "urban SUV" card, the Forester’s out here actually doing the job.

Let’s break it down...

Toyota RAV4? Good luck finding one before the next financial year. And AWD models? Bring your budget and your patience.

Mazda CX-5? Drives great, looks sharp — until the weather turns or you take a wrong turn and end up on gravel. AWD optional, capability questionable.

Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage? All flair, all screens, and still front-wheel drive where it counts. They look ready for adventure — as long as adventure means reverse-parking at Woolies.

Mitsubishi Outlander? More seats, less usable space. Decent value, but ask it to handle a proper track and it’s looking around for the Forester to go first.

Meanwhile, the 2022 Forester 2.5i-L just gets to work.

Why it makes sense:

Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD — real grip, full-time, no guesswork

2.5L Boxer engine — flat layout = low centre of gravity = confident handling

7-speed CVT — smooth, responsive, and easy to live with

Subaru EyeSight driver assist — AEB, adaptive cruise, lane centring and more

Tall cabin, massive windows — visibility that beats anything else in the class

Practical boot, comfy rear seats — actually built with passengers in mind

220mm ground clearance — ready for weekends that go off the bitumen

It’s an SUV that walks the talk — no big marketing claims, no fake off-road modes. Just reliable, capable, and built to go the distance.
