"Subaru Forester": technical characteristics and design of a new generation of SUVs

Last autumn, in the framework of one of the American auto shows in Los Angeles, the public was presented with a new, fourth-generation generation of world-renowned Subaru Forester SUVs. Technical characteristics and design of the novelty, according to the developers, have undergone many changes. By the way, in the domestic market, sales began 2 weeks before the official premiere took place. On it the manufacturer told all the detailed information about the novelty, so we have enough information to devote a separate review to the Japanese crossover.

Appearance

Outside, the car has not changed much. If you compare it with the previous, third generation of SUVs, you can see only a few differences. Updates mainly concerned lighting, the design of the grille and the shape of the bumper. Also the manufacturer changed the design of the wheel disks. Otherwise, the novelty remains the same, so that the output of the new generation can be compared with the usual restyling (when the exterior of the car changes only partially).

Dimensions and capacity

It is worth noting that the car body has added a little in size. It is very difficult to notice with the naked eye, but there are still changes. So, the length of the SUV is 459.5 centimeters, the width is almost 180 centimeters, and the height is 173.5 centimeters. The wheelbase has also increased. Now its length is 264 centimeters. At 5 millimeters clearance was added (now the ground clearance of the car is 22 centimeters). Thanks to these changes, engineers were able to increase the amount of luggage space. Now you can put up to 488 liters of luggage.

Subaru Forester: technical specifications

Russian buyers will be offered a choice of 3 power units. Among them, the younger develops a capacity of 150 "horses", and its working volume is equal to 2 liters. The next Subaru Forester engine was not immediately acquired, but only six months after the official debut. With its 2.5 liter displacement, it develops 171 horsepower. This engine will no longer be available as a basic option for buyers of the new Subaru Forester SUV. The specifications of the older unit are the most advanced, since this engine develops power up to 241 horsepower. By the way, its working volume is the same as that of the base motor - 2 liters. Such power, according to the developers, was achieved through turbo-supercharging. Thus, the car becomes more dynamic and high-speed, while its fuel consumption will remain at the same level.

Price for the new "Subaru Forester"

Technical characteristics we have already considered, now let's move on to the cost. The price for the 4th generation of Japanese SUVs starts from the mark of 1 million 149 thousand rubles. "Top" configuration is about 1 million 695 thousand rubles. The novelty will be delivered to Russia officially, so the owners of Subaru Forester cars will not have problems with the search for spare parts. Spare parts can be found in every city, and change the part on any dealer station.
