SUBARU REVEALS ALL-NEW 2014 FORESTER CROSSOVER SUV; NEW MODEL TO MAKE NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW

CHERRY HILL, NJ, November 1, 2012 – Subaru of America today released the first official photos of the all-new 2014 Forester crossover SUV, which will make its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Forester combines a bolder profile than before while offering a roomier interior with virtually the same footprint as the previous model.

The fourth generation of Subaru's popular Forester will offer a new 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged BOXER engine producing 250 horsepower. The standard naturally aspirated 2.5-liter BOXER engine debuted in the outgoing Forester model. Fuel economy will be higher across the line with the debut of a new six-speed manual transmission and available Lineartronic® continuously variable transmissions (CVT).

The all-new five-passenger 2014 Forester preserves the optimal blend of SUV capability and car-like ride and handling that have made the Forester one of the Subaru brand's best-selling models for the past 15 years. Refined (or New) suspension system delivers agile handling and a highly compliant ride quality. Generous 8.7 inches of ground clearance enhances off-pavement driving capability.

The 2014 Forester will offer an exceptionally roomy interior, featuring increased rear seat legroom and an enlarged cargo area. In-demand infotainment features will be offered, including smartphone integration, navigation, rear view camera and harman/kardon® premium audio amplifier and speakers.

Appearance-wise, It doesn't make the current Forester obsolete so quickly.

Ask ko lang yang CVT transmission ng new subaru forester ay okey rin sa offroad gaya ng paakyat sa mountain. ? At bakit kaya hanggang ngayon wala sila nilalabas na diesel dyan sa atin?

Motor Image PH reveals features, price estimates of all-new Forester

Second, there will be two variants of the new Forester to be offered in our market: the 2.0i and the 2.0XT. The entry-level 2.0i is powered by a normally aspirated 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine, while the full-option 2.0XT is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine rated at 276hp and 350Nm. Both variants will come with Lineartronic CVT, with the only difference, according to Luyun, being that the 2.0i's is six-speed and the 2.0XT's is eight-speed.

x x x

Among the noteworthy features of the Philippine-market Forester 2.0XT, Luyun told us, are:

Start/stop system;
Powerlift tail gate;
Harman Kardon eight-speaker audio system;
HID headlights with LED strips;
SI-Drive (system for selecting driving modes) as found on the STI;
18-inch alloy wheels;
Sunroof;
Leather seats;
New X-Mode all-wheel-drive system;
Seven airbags (including knee airbags); and
Rear camera and multifunction display
And how much will this "fully loaded" new Forester be?

"The 2.0XT could be priced less than or more than P1.9 million," said Luyun. "We haven't finalized pricing. The 2.0i could go for around P1.55 million."

sayang parang di ata kasama ang "eyesight" feature na meron sa japan, considering that they jacked up the price more than 100k for the XT

[April_Ryan]

^oo nga, eyesight is not mentioned in the article.

if pricing for the XT is at 1.9M, it's going to go up against the Sta. Fe and the Sorento.

at 1.55M, the Forester might kill the market for the 1.478M XV, unless the prices of the XV are lowered a bit.

[vwaudimb]

Is that the same 2.0 NA that's on the current 12 xs?

This is the XT

Front end design only works with Gundam and not with cars.

[cripple_rooster]

I like it. The CVT is a huge improvement over the old 4-speed and 5-speed AT, and twin-scroll turbochargers are the best to overcome turbo-lag...

There's a website covering the all-new Forester's projected 1-year "demonstration journey" across 5 continents and 60,000 miles. So far they've finished a trip across Australia. Here's the link: FORESTER LIVE | SUBARU

Excerpt from the site:

This is the new genesis to SUBARU's history of demonstrations.The Forester has become the true SUV in its new improved model. In FORESTERLIVE, we will prove its all-round high performance by driving across 5 continents for an entire year. For example, the Symmetrical AWD will be safe and secure even on permafrost roads, and the X-MODE will prove its worth in steep slopes on rough dirt roads. Moreover, the stability and power of the "DIT" TURBO engine will help you enjoy driving on long winding roads. You can check out more about this journey not only in the FORESTERLIVE.com website but also in our smartphone application. We will also hold events throughout the year. FORESTERLIVE never stops improving. Be sure to stay tuned!

I hope they try it out in the PH.
