The third-generation Subaru Forester has grown from an all-wheel-drive estate car into a crossover SUV. The efforts of its designers have ensured that the vehicle is a vastly more responsive and fun ride than its competitors, while providing superb space and comfort for all the family.

As ever with a Subaru, it is the continuing development of its range of Boxer engines that differentiates the Forester from other vehicles in its class. Both diesel and petrol motors are available on the Forester. The petrol-powered 2.0-litre double overhead camshaft engine provides 150PS of power and an Active Valve Control System to manage the air intake for greater power and fuel efficiency. The 147PS common-rail fuel-injection diesel engine offers a very quiet and even journey, as well as excellent fuel economy of up to 44.8mpg and carbon emissions as low as 167g/km.

The position of the engine in the new Forester has been dropped, providing a lower centre of gravity and enhancing the already notable handling and stability. Inside, driving pleasure is improved by the excellent visibility, maximum storage space of 1,660 litres, and the agreeable interior design.
