New Forester

You live in the world's greatest adventure park, explore it with confidence in the new Forester range.

With a clever design that gives you 220mm of ground clearance yet a low centre of gravity for stability, a powerful 2.5 litre petrol or 2.0 litre diesel Boxer engine and Subaru's legendary All Wheel Drive to get you through the bumpy bits while you concentrate on the road.
