The 2014 Subaru Forester offers a bold profile and a more spacious interior while keeping dimensions very similar to those of its predecessor.

 The 4th generation of the very popular Forester adds a new turbocharged 2.0l four cylinder engine, while the 2.5l atmospheric boxer four remains the base engine.  Subaru promises better fuel economy with the new six-speed manual gearbox, as well as with the Lineatronic CVT, new to the Forester.

Since it still offers seating for five and all-wheel-drive, the new Forester combines the advantages of an SUV with those of a comfortable and agile sedan. The new suspensions improve comfort and handling as well, and the 22cm (8.7 in) ground clearance confirms its all-terrain abilities.
To be in with the times, smartphone connectivity, navigation, forward-facing (Subaru EyeSight) and rear-facing cameras as well as high-end audio are all available.
