Which Subaru Forester Model is Right For You?

Once you have decided to buy a Subaru Forester for sale, Perth drivers are faced with another tough decision, which model to choose? The Forester has been a solid sales performer for the Japanese brand since its initial launch. However, the 2015 update brought even sportier models, which means that deciding between the fourth generation models is now really tricky. Fortunately, with a little basic information, you can narrow down the selection to find the variant best suited to your needs.

Subaru Forester Engine Options:

The Forester is available with a broad variety of both petrol and diesel options. The base models are equipped with a four cylinder 2.0 litre petrol engine. This powertrain delivers 110 kW power and 198 Nm torque, offering an impressive fuel economy of 7.2 litres per 100 kilometres.Next in the range is the 2.5 litre petrol variant. This option offers additional power providing 126 kW/ 235 Nm. However, this additional boost of power does sacrifice some degree of fuel economy, taking consumption to 8.1 litres per 100 kilometres. The Subaru Forester XT Variants are offered with a turbocharged direct injection four cylinder DOHC petrol powertrain. This engine also features a Dual Active Valve Control system to offer a sports performance with a high power output of 177 kW and 350 Nm. This delivers an impressive zero to 100 kilometres acceleration rate of 7.9 seconds, with fuel consumption rate of just 8.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

Alternatively, you could opt for the Forester Diesel. This is powered with a four cylinder, turbocharged, 2.0 litre DOHC engine. The Forester Diesel meets the EURO61 emissions standards, yet allows you to travel over 1,000 kilometres on just one tank of fuel. Standard fuel economy is a frugal 6.4 litre per 100 kilometres.

Subaru Intelligent Driving:

All petrol variants of the Subaru Forester offer versatility and adaptability of different driving styles with the Subaru Intelligent Drive. This system has different modes for everyday driving and higher performance demands. The Sport mode offers an all round sportier performance, with enhanced acceleration. There is also the SportSharp mode available on the turbocharged variants to make the drive even more exhilarating.

Each variant of the Subaru Forester offers a whole host of features and innovations. Standard features include collision avoidance and protection systems, EyeSight technology, MFD infotainment system, power windows and mirrors, smart key system, USB and Bluetooth connectivity. These innovations and features ensure that you enjoy the ultimate driver experience in a spacious and comfortable environment.
