For most Forester buyers, honestly — the trim where $2,000 over Base buys the stuff you'll actually touch every day. $31,995 starting MSRP — your out-the-door number comes in writing.
Tell us who you are. We'll come back with the real out-the-door number — and an honest read on whether Premium is your rung or Base already covers you.

What You Get
Premium is where the Forester's everyday-usability features unlock — which is exactly why it's the rung we point most buyers to first.
Over Base, for $2,000.
Value pick doesn't mean everything pick.

The Honest Ladder
If the big screen and roof rails genuinely don't matter to you, Base at $29,995 saves you $2,000 and gives up nothing that makes a Forester a Forester — every safety system and the same AWD are on both rungs. That said, this is one of the few step-ups we rarely talk people out of: $2,000 here buys features you touch every single day.
Two honest paths. If it's comfort you want, Limited at $35,995 adds leather, the power gate, and upgraded audio for $4,000 more. If it's fuel economy, the Premium Hybrid at $34,730 is the same rung with the hybrid drivetrain and 35 mpg city — but that $2,735 premium is pure commuter math. It usually pays off past 50 daily miles, and usually doesn't under 20. We'll run your actual commute before you spend it.
No pressure either way — we make the same honest recommendation whether you spend $29,995 or $41,545.
Name, number, "Premium" — or just "help me pick." We handle the rest.
