Subaru Forester weight

Subaru Forester curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier Forester may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Subaru Forester may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Subaru Forester was produced in 2006 with a weight of 3090 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2016 with 3651 lbs pounds in curb weight.

Explore the data below and compare how other Subaru Forester body mass parameters like gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and payload capacity changed between the generations.
