8 Comments 
Subaru’s stylish new generation Forester lays claim to greater space, enhanced versatility and more advanced safety features than its’ predecessor, not to mention looking the goods too.
Including a comprehensive array of standard safety features, the Forester has achieved a maximum five star ANCAP rating and is sure to impress discerning family and adventure buyers alike with All Wheel Drive, ABS (includes BA & EBD), Stability Control, Front, Side and Curtain Airbags all included in the list price.
Powering the line-up are two engines, both 2.5 litre petrol. The naturally aspirated variant found in Forester X and XS models produces 126kW @ 6000rpm and 229Nm @ 4400rpm with the turbo charged version seen in XT models making 169kW @ 5200rpm and 320Nm @ 2800rpm.
Pricing starts at $31,990 for the base model manual and ranges through to $47,490 for the top of the line XT Premium auto. As will all Subaru models, symmetrical all wheel drive and the legendary boxer engine are of course standard.

Lcat, don’t be so impatient. The diesel’s just coming on stream in Europe and this will be the priority market for quite some time.
Of greater concern - why the Chrysler front end?
