Subaru Forester
The Subaru Forester was introduced in 1997 and the SUV quickly became known for its balance of practicality and car-like driveability, coupled with genuine off-road ability.
During its lifetime, several performance models have been offered such as the second-generation Forester’s turbocharged XT and the third-generation Forester’s S-Edition, which used a turbocharged version of the 2.5-litre flat-four to produce 193kW.

About the Subaru Forester
The Subaru Forester was introduced in 1997 and the SUV quickly became known for its balance of practicality and car-like driveability, coupled with genuine off-road ability.
During its lifetime, several performance models have been offered such as the second-generation Forester’s turbocharged XT and the third-generation Forester’s S-Edition, which used a turbocharged version of the 2.5-litre flat-four to produce 193kW.
Now in its fifth generation, the model is available with a choice of 2.5-litre boxer four-cylinder petrol engine or a 2.0-litre version combined with a mild hybrid system.
All are offered with the company’s renowned symmetrical all-wheel drive system and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) auto.
The Forester is Australia’s favourite Subaru and, in its current generation, was runner up in the 2018 Wheels Car of the Year.
The Subaru Forester can count plenty of rivals, such as the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, and Volkswagen Tiguan.
