The fourth generation Subaru Forester arrives in Singapore

The fourth-generation Subaru Forester has arrived. The new 2.0XT model features Subaru's new Horizontally-Opposed Direct Injection Turbo (DIT) engine and is paired with the Lineartronic CVT transmission.

It produces 240bhp and 350Nm, which in turn enables it to reach 100km/h in 7.5 seconds. Environmentally friendly technologies are also designed to reduce friction and improve combustion efficiency, achieving superior fuel efficiency.

At the heart of the Forester is Subaru's unique Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive technology (AWD) that provides a sense of stability and allows for quick response to challenging road conditions.

Enhancing the AWD's ability is a newly developed X-mode control system that is designed for any driver to easily navigate on tough roads, handle slippery surfaces or steep hills with just one switch.

The new Forester is equipped with SI-DRIVE, an added feature to significantly enhance drivability.

Three different modes - 'Intelligent', 'Sports' and 'Sports sharp (S#)' - are available, allowing the driver to easily switch between varying levels of responsiveness and fuel efficiency. The standard paddle shifters further heightens the driving involvement.

Crash safety performance has also been improved with the all new Forester, thanks to the specially designed body made with high tensile steel that reduces the vehicle's weight while retaining high rigidity. 

For the sporty family man, the new Forester is larger and roomier than its predecessors with a redesigned cabin.

A wide field of view for all seats and spacious visibility for stress-free driving have also been achieved in the redesign.

Drivers will also get more convenience on-the-go with expanded cargo space and many new features such as Keyless Access (touch sensor type), push start ignition, Harman Kardon audio system and a high grade multi function display.
