Make fun a habit
Transforming the heart and soul of the Forester is Subaru’s next generation 2.5L Direct Injection, horizontally-opposed Boxer engine. Demanding the seemingly impossible, improved fuel efficiency and a more responsive on road performance, the Subaru engineers over delivered. The result is enhanced power and torque to make light work of rutted roads and switchback mountain passes. So you can escape to that hard to get to picnic spot on a whim.
