The Forester Wilderness provides 0.5 inches (13 mm) lift that increases ground clearance to 9.2 inches (230mm). 
The vehicle comes with all-terrain tires, modified final drive ratio, stronger roof rack, and water-repellent seats. 
The engine size is the same, but it includes an enhanced dual-function x-mode with additional wheel-slip allowance to handle harsh driving conditions in snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud.
