If you'd like to find a reliable, spacious, and capable SUV near Bernalillo, the new Subaru Forester could be a smart option. This two-row SUV comes with a competitive price tag, and it has impressive technology and practical amenities.

With a 2.5-liter engine under its hood, the Forester makes 176 pound-feet of torque and 182 horsepower. You could engage in Sport mode to make drives around Rio Rancho more exciting. You'll be pleased to hear that this SUV comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Sending power to the front wheels would likely be sufficient during regular conditions.

However, when conditions get challenging, you could benefit from having power sent to all four of your wheels. One of the nice things about the Forester is that it can make those adjustments on its own, so you won't have to worry about anything other than staying focused on the road.

If you plan on heading into rugged terrain, consider getting a Wilderness trim at Garcia Subaru North. It sits higher off the ground than the others do, and it's been enhanced with all-terrain tires, greater towing capacity, and a dual-function X-MODE® program that can enhance traction.

With its driver-assist technologies, the Forester will work hard to keep you safe. It can warn you about potential problems and help you with steering and braking. Plus, it has a comprehensive infotainment system, which comes standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

You'll appreciate the size of the Forester, too. Its cabin feels spacious, offering almost 40 inches of second-row legroom. You'll be able to fit all kinds of gear in the cargo area when traveling around Albuquerque, and if you need to, you can lower the rear seats to increase your cargo capacity to about 70 cubic feet.
