For a mid-life update, Subaru treated the Forester to a mild facelift that brought sharper front and rear lights with LED illumination and a subtle reshaping of the front bumper and grille.

Underneath, the Forester also had a chassis tweak courtesy of Subaru's local engineering team, for a more compliant ride over Australian roads but a more involving, dynamic driving experience when on better maintained surfaces.

Extra sound insulation, revised suspension bushing and underbody aerodynamic panels increased cabin comfort through reduced noise, vibration and harshness levels (NVH).
