Subaru Forester Engines and Transmissions

Subaru Forester Trims and Equipment

Subaru Forester trim levels sit on top of a technical version such as the gasoline 2.0 MT. On that five-door SUV, one equipment configuration is named X. You use X for cabin fittings and convenience features, not to change the engine, manual gearbox, or all-wheel drive.
