The Forester Wilderness, powered by a version of Subaru's 2.5-liter flat-four, puts down 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torque.

However, despite its small size, the inside feels rather spacious and un-cramped. The rear doors opened nice and wide, allowing us to jam two large car seats in the back wi...
All in all, the 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness was a blast behind the wheel. We'd throw on a rooftop tent immediately and hit the wilderness, calling this our reasonable (and at $34,414, reasonably priced) on- and off-road vehicle.
