2019 Subaru Forester previewed, due in Australia this year

The next-generation 2019 Subaru Forester has been confirmed for the New York motor show later this month, with an official reveal scheduled for March 28.

Further details are yet to be released, though the Japanese company did offer a single shadowy teaser image (top) of the new Forester's tail-light – which sports a C-shaped signature in line with the manufacturer's current range.

Expect the new model to draw from the Viziv Future Concept shown at the 2015 Tokyo motor show, which should give the Forester a stronger resemblance to the Impreza, XV, Liberty and Outback.

Subaru's local arm has confirmed it is expecting the next-gen Forester to arrive in "the final third of 2018" following its New York reveal.
