Powertrain Specs & Features
This year, every single Forester model will come standard with a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER engine capable of generating 180 horsepower alongside 178 pound-feet of torque alongside a Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission system. For drivers who prefer the old feel of manual driving, the Premium, Sport, Limited and Touring models offer steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a manual mode with eight preset ratios to control.
The new powertrain also features both Active Torque Vectoring and an SI-Drive performance management system as standard features as well. Depending on which trim level you opt for, you’ll get 17-, 18- or 19- alloy wheels which will also affect how the vehicle performs and handles. Engineers also included a modified version of the dual-pinion electric power steering rack found in the performance-oriented Subaru WRX. This means enhanced responsiveness thanks to more direct and natural steering.
Handling is greatly enhanced thanks to a revised version of the Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that responds quicker and delivers better control on surfaces both on and off the road. This is supplemented by X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, which comes standard on the Premium trim level. Incline Start Assist is also standard across the line.
