Subaru Australia says after a brief sold-out period, its customers can place a dealer order for the model year 2023 Forester SUV with first deliveries anticipated to commence from the fourth quarter of this year.
The brand says that an increase in the costs associated with production and logistics has resulted in a price rise for the MY23 Subaru Forester.
Some minor specification changes to the MY23 Forester include an auto-dimming rear-view mirror added to the 2.5i Sport AWD, 2.5i-S AWD and Hybrid S AWD while Sapphire Blue Pearl replaces Dark Blue Pearl for the 2.5i Sport AWD.

The MY22 Subaru Forester* was recently crowned 2022 AWD SUV under $45,000 in OzRoamer’s annual Car of the Year awards – an independent review of the 4WD and AWD SUVs in the Australian market.
Subaru Australia says the seven variant Forester range combines a suite of advanced safety features, on and off-road capability, and driver comfort, that continues to appeal to a broad range of Australian customers.
“With seven variants available across the range including two hybrids, Forester remains an integral part of the overall Subaru model line-up and continues to sit confidently in that popular mid-size SUV category,” Subaru Australia managing director Blair Read says.
Whilst Subaru.com.au is being updated to reflect the model-year changeover, Subaru retailers will support all MY23 Subaru Forester AWD customer enquiries.
