Do you remember the 2018 Subaru Forester Black Edition? Subaru offered it in the U.S. for a short time with the Forester 2.0XT turbocharged engine trim level. Consumers could get the Forester 2.0XT Black Edition in four exterior colors: Crystal Black Silica, Dark Gray Metallic, Crystal White Pearl, and Ice Silver Metallic.

Outside, the Black Edition package featured 18-inch black alloy wheels, fog lights with black accent trim; black finish exterior badges and mirrors; and a front grille with a blacked-out wing motif and chrome frame. New LED Steering Responsive Headlights are also included as standard.

Subaru should offer customers a 2023 Forester 2.4L Turbo Black Edition

Inside, the Forester 2.0XT Black Edition came with steering wheel paddle shifters with a 6-speed manual mode. It came with special black cloth upholstery seats with simulated leather bolsters and silver metallic and black gloss finish center dash panel.

Customers would buy a 2023 Forester Black Edition with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. This would tell customers that the new Forester is the flagship model and give performance fans back the Forester turbo they took away after 2018.

The 2023 Outback Black Edition

Would customers buy a 2023 Outback Black Edition? We think they would if it offered the same treatments outside and inside. Subaru could offer the Outback Black Edition on the new Outback Onyx Edition trim level with the new styling upgrades.

The Outback is Subaru of America’s second best-selling model and could use a shot in the arm. A new Black Edition would add further excitement to the midsize SUV.

Subaru should offer customers a 2023 BRZ 2.4L Turbo Black Edition

Would customers buy a 2023 BRZ Black Edition? What if Subaru offered it with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine upgrade? With a new turbocharged engine under the hood of the rear-drive sports coupe, the BRZ 2.4 Black Edition would sell out quickly.

The 2023 Subaru Forester Black Edition with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine would be the hottest model in the lineup that would excite customers. Subaru of America should offer its customers three new Black Edition models. It would create new excitement around the Japanese automaker.
