clearance identify the Subaru Forester as a stylish ride that’s ready for any road — regardless

inside, including ample room for five adults and their gear. Under the skin, the low centre
of gravity of the SUBARU BOXER engine leads to superior handling, while the compact size
of this SUV creates exceptional manoeuvrability. Inside and out, the impressive quality and
ingenious design of the Forester combine to give the discerning driver the refined comfort,
rugged versatility and pure fun that are always in demand. So while you can fit a lot into a

9. Countless places to explore.
Endless room for adventure.
THE DIFFERENCE:
A smart interior design blends spaciousness, flexibility and high levels of comfort to meet the demands
of an active lifestyle — either within the confines of the city or the expanse of the great outdoors.
THE ADVANTAGE:
In an SUV that makes things easy, you never have to think twice about where you want to go, what
you’re able to take with you or whom you want to bring along for the ride.
Utility: It’s supposed to be an integral part of every SUV — after all, that’s what the “U” stands
for — but some vehicles meet the definition better than others. With standard roof rails, a
generous 1087-kg towing capacity and a compact double-wishbone rear suspension system
that creates a wider, more useful cargo area, the Forester is right at the top of the list.

10. A world of discovery awaits. BIGGER IDEAS FOR SMALLER ITEMS

The available cargo cover, with its lightweight aluminum frame, is easily
retractable or removable, making it perfect for keeping your valuables hidden
from sight. When not needed, it can be conveniently stowed under the cargo

12. Stay connected.
Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive
Symmetry gives you balance. Balance gives you control. This is why Subaru has spent
nearly 40 years developing and perfecting the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system.
Enhanced by the SUBARU BOXER engine for an almost perfectly symmetrical layout, it
maximizes power delivery with exceptional traction and generates balance and stability
for better control in all conditions. More control inspires more confidence behind the
wheel and a more gratifying driving experience overall.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Exceptional traction, courtesy of Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD, makes acceleration feel
immediate and exhilarating. Combined with its symmetrical drivetrain layout, the Forester is able to
deliver responsive handling, stability in the corners and a unique feeling of control at all times.
CONSTANT CONTACT
The more your tires are engaged with the road, the more control you have. This is why power is routed
to all four wheels while the vehicle is in motion, so the AWD system doesn’t have to react to potential
hazards like puddles, bumps or potholes in the road. Instead, the system is able to keep the tires
connected to the road as closely as possible at all times.
Drivetrain for illustrative purposes only.
AGILITY IN AN EMERGENCY
In poor weather, or in the precious seconds it takes to react to a sudden situation, the Subaru
symmetrical full-time AWD system — which is almost perfectly balanced side-to-side — provides
the stability, agility and traction that help you steer away from danger.

13. Stay balanced.
SUBARU BOXER engine
Few other SUVs offer the sheer, unbridled driving pleasure of the Subaru Forester. So it’s
not surprising that this has been achieved through an innovative design that gives this
SUV a clear advantage over the competition. The horizontally opposed configuration
of the SUBARU BOXER engine places the pistons 180 degrees apart, creating a lower
and flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine — and, therefore, the
whole vehicle — a lower centre of gravity and a better sense of balance. Furthermore,
the opposing movement of the pistons inherently counteract each other, naturally helping
to reduce vibration and increase driving comfort.
INCREASED STABILITY
Because the engine block has a flatter profile and sits lower in the chassis, the vehicle is more
balanced and resistant to side-to-side motion than other engine configurations.
SMOOTH POWER
At any rpm level, the engine delivers immediate, responsive power that comes on smooth. This
occurs because the pistons lay flat and work against each other to reduce vibration, making the
ride as easy and comfortable as it is exciting.
LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and self-balancing, generating less vibration than V-type
and most in-line engines for exceptional durability and reliable performance.

4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION + MULTI-PLATE TRANSFER CLUTCH AWD
For instant and seamless response to varying driving conditions, the available 4-speed automatic
transmission with Manual Mode (4EAT) utilizes a multi-plate transfer clutch AWD system. This transmission
allows the driver to choose from two fully automatic modes (Normal and Sport) and a manual-shift
mode. The AWD system maintains a 60/40 torque split (front/rear) for more predictable handling and
automatically adjusts up to a 50/50 split under hard acceleration or when conditions warrant.

encounter unexpected situations and challenging conditions.
THE ADVANTAGE:
Every Subaru is proactive about your protection because the best way to walk away from an accident is to avoid it altogether.
ACTIVE SAFETY, TO AVOID A COLLISION
Many of the same features that make the Subaru Forester fun to drive also help keep you out of harm’s way. For example, the position
of the SUBARU BOXER engine creates a low centre of gravity and enhances the performance capabilities of the entire symmetrical
full-time AWD system resulting in precise, surefooted and stable handling. Furthermore, the standard Vehicle Dynamics Control
system, responsive steering, anti-lock brakes and large windows are all designed to help the driver stay confidently in control.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS airbags) affords the driver and passenger additional protection in some collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag
deployment. The combination of SRS and seatbelts provides the best protection in a serious accident. All illustrations, specifications, features and photographs contained in this brochure are based on product information available at the time of its printing, and may not
