Your ultimate lifestyle partner The all-new Subaru Forester – a stylish sports utility vehicle or SUV, is undoubtedly the finest Forester ever. It still boasts the traits that have made the Forester famous: no other brand enjoys the dynamic advantage that comes from combining Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and horizontally-opposed Boxer™ powerplants. But added to that are a range of new features. The new Forester has some fabulous new exterior and interior design cues. But the single most important enhancement lies under the bonnet… That’s because the new Forester is equipped with a brand new range of engines,  comprising of three different engines. First there is the brand new Subaru Boxer 2.0-litre DOHC diesel engine – this is the first time that a diesel engine has featured in the Forester range. This powerful engine – which churns out 110 kW of power and 350 Nm of torque – is matched to a six-speed manual transmission. The Subaru Boxer 2.5-litre DOHC petrol engine delivers 126 kW of power and 235 Nm of torque. This vastly improved powerplant offers much better low-to-medium speed torque (put your foot down and you really feel it go!) This engine is available with a choice of either five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic. The Forester stands out from the compact SUV crowd thanks to a number of unique attributes, not least of all the fitment of a low-range transfer case to this manual transmission (it boasts a 21% reduction gear). Finally there is the Subaru Boxer 2.5-litre DOHC turbocharged petrol engine fitted to the range-topping Forester S- Edition. This delivers 193 kW of power and 347 Nm of maximum torque coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission and steering wheel mounted paddle shifts.
