Subaru Forester Engines and Transmissions

The Subaru Forester engine choices in this generation are gasoline units, with 1.8 CVT, 2.0 CVT, and 2.5 CVT as selected examples. Each pairs a continuously variable transmission with all-wheel drive, so the drivetrain layout stays familiar while displacement changes how the powertrain responds.
