We had one of the first Foresters and they were pretty good off road. Not super serious, but good enough for trundling around. Got another one a few years ago. much more a road car with come 4WD ability now.If you buy a proper 4wd and go off road tyres and clearance are probably the most important thing. All these trendy SUVs are AWD, will help with handling on wet roads or gravel roads but aren't going to get very far off road.
Nowhere near as much funky stuff, but I preferred the old one. It just did the job, really well.
