Consumers in Russia are a lot like their American counterparts and use their Foresters for getting away from civilization. Forester is the perfect vehicle to do it and comes with X-Mode for extreme off-roading. Most SUV owners never take their vehicle off-road, and they use it to transport kids to the soccer game and use it as a grocery hauler. That’s not many Forester owners though. This special model is geared toward those who can’t wait to get away from the city. What sets this Forester apart?

Subaru created the 2016 Forester Active Edition especially for Russian customers with active lifestyles. Subaru added unique elements to the interior and exterior of the models for those who will use the SUV beyond the daily commute and take it for weekend excursions. Outside, Forester gets dark silver 17-inch cast aluminum wheels which are only available on this model.
