Building on its symmetrical drivetrain layout, the Forester delivers sporty driving while making full use of practicality. Using rally experience and technology, this crossover SUV combines safe with sporty, in a chassis and suspension setup that makes the most of AWD and DOHC power. From tarmac to muddy tracks, on twisting mountain roads and rough terrain, even towing up to a class-leading 2,000kg (2.5XT) - just pick your line and the Forester will follow it, like a sports car, but where sports cars could never go.

The "Crossover" sensation of
a sports saloon, in an SUV.
Suspension
Again, calling on rally-proven technology, the Forester's high-rigidity strut system has been extensively developed and is highly reliable. The sporty feeling on the road - especially in high speed manoeuvres - means the robust suspension underlines the "Crossover" concept benefits. With generous ground clearance (205mm - 2.0X, 200mm - 2.5XT) and long travel, this suspension also makes the going smoother for everyone aboard, even in rough-road conditions.
Self-levelizer
A smart but simple device fitted to the rear suspension makes sure that the Forester rides flat and keeps its posture, even when fully loaded in the back.It works as soon as you pull away, keeping everything stable while giving you all the load-carrying convenience you want.
Lightweight components
Making the most of drivability through the total balance provided by Symmetrical AWD, Subaru has also done everything to reduce weight on the latest Forester. Using the latest technologies in conjunction with the inherent low centre of gravity and fine-tuned suspension geometry, this gives the Forester its unique agility and ability. So you can tackle the best and worst of the world's roads with all the comfort and peace of mind you could want, knowing that you're getting the performance you want, with the driving pleasure you need.
