Full battery charge and ideal conditions are required. Figures will vary based, amongst others and non-exclusively, on driving and charging habits, speed, accessory use, weather and temperature, battery age, vehicle condition, road condition and other factors. In sub ideal conditions, figures may worsen by more than 50%. Battery capacity decreases with time and use which will further reduce range.

(MISSISSAUGA) -Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) today released the first official photos of the all-new 2014 Forester, which will make its public debut in Japan on November 13, followed by its North American premiere at the Los Angeles auto show in late November and Canadian introduction at the Montreal auto show in January. The new Subaru Forester will maintain its true SUV characteristics with a bolder profile than before, while offering a roomier interior with increased rear-seat legroom and an enlarged cargo area with virtually the same dimensional footprint as the outgoing model.
The all-new Subaru Forester is the fourth generation to feature Subaru's celebrated symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system. Subaru's popular Forester will also continue to offer its 2.5-litre naturally aspirated SUBARU BOXER engine as well as a new 2.0-litre direct-injection turbocharged version, producing 250 horsepower. Fuel economy improves across the lineup with the introduction of a new six-speed manual transmission and available Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission).
The all-new five-passenger 2014 Subaru Forester preserves the optimal blend of capability and spirited handling that have made it one of Subaru's best-selling models for the past 15 years. Refined suspension delivers sharper handling as well as comfortable ride quality, helping the Forester out-handle ordinary SUVs. A generous 220 millimetres of ground clearance enhances off-pavement driving capability.
Along with its exceptionally roomy interior, the 2014 Subaru Forester will include convenience and entertainment features including smartphone integration, navigation, rear-view camera and harman/kardon premium audio amplifier and speakers.
Look for the 2014 Subaru Forester to be available in early 2013.
