The Fifth Generation Restyling Subaru Forester is a five-door SUV built for daily use, with a high seating position and easy access for passengers and cargo.
Every Subaru Forester engine in this restyling is gasoline, paired with a CVT and all-wheel drive, so your drivetrain layout stays familiar. Engine options include the 1.8 CVT, the 2.0 CVT, and the 2.0 CVT e-BOXER. Horsepower and how the five-door SUV feels on the road change with the unit; the transmission type does not.
