The Subaru Forester is celebrated for combining the rugged, all-weather capability of its heritage with modern efficiency and advanced safety, making it an ideal choice for both city driving and outdoor adventure.
This is Subaru's defining feature. It provides exceptional stability, traction, and control by distributing power to all four wheels constantly and equally. This is not an on-demand system, offering superior confidence on slippery roads or light off-roading. The horizontally opposed (flat) engine design (2.0L in this e-Boxer model) offers a naturally low center of gravity. This translates directly to reduced body roll, improved handling, and a very stable ride feel compared to many taller SUVs.
The mild-hybrid system enhances the driving experience by using an electric motor to assist the petrol engine. This provides instant torque for smoother, more responsive acceleration from a stop and contributes to better overall fuel efficiency.
The Forester is built on this advanced chassis, which significantly improves crash protection, body rigidity, and overall noise reduction in the cabin.
This is Subaru's highly rated driver-assistance technology. Key features include: adaptive cruise control: Automatically adjusts speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead.Pre-Collision Braking: Can autonomously apply brakes to avoid or mitigate a frontal collision.Lane Keep Assist: Helps gently steer the vehicle back into its lane if unintentional drifting is detected.
Unique Driver Aids: The buttons visible on your car's dash highlight two useful, included features: SRH (Steering Responsive Headlights): The headlights pivot slightly in the direction of the turn, illuminating the road ahead when cornering. VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control): The essential stability and traction control system you appreciate in your current car, which helps prevent skidding.
The Forester is a true SUV, known for its large, square rear hatch opening and generous cargo area (often over 500 liters). The wide openings make loading bulky items easier. It has excellent ground clearance for an SUV in its class, coupled with the X-MODE system. X-MODE optimizes engine output, transmission, and the AWD system for challenging terrains like mud, snow, or steep slopes.
As identified, your model includes the Power Rear Gate feature (also known as the Power Boot), allowing the hatch to be opened and closed automatically via a button on the dash, the key fob, or the hatch itself a direct match to a feature you currently enjoy.
The Forester e-Boxer is a vehicle designed for durability and functionality, delivering safety and capability with an added boost of efficiency.
