The compact SUV for the trials and the trails The Subaru Forester — a perennial favourite for those who desire a supremely versatile, wildly accommodating, yet nimble and agile compact AWD SUV — is reengineered from the ground up and better than ever. The 2020 Subaru Forester features the renown SUBARU BOXER® engine and Lineartronic® CVT transmission that combine to create more power and increased efficiency. The exterior and interior both serve to bring the Forester up to new levels in terms of design, comfort and convenience. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, the Forester is longer, wider, more spacious, quieter, safer, more comfortable and better handling than ever before. Yet, the Forester still retains its essential “Forester-ness,” courtesy of standard adventure-ready systems, such as Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, X-MODE®, SI-DRIVE and Hill Descent Control. So, no matter which direction your life may take, the Forester is ready to roll.
