Last autumn, within the framework of one of the American auto shows in Los Angeles, the public was presented with a new, fourth generation of the world-famous Subaru Forester SUVs. The technical characteristics and design of the novelty, according to the developers, have undergone many changes. By the way, sales on the domestic market began 2 weeks before the official premiere took place. On it, the manufacturer told all the detailed information about the new product, so we have enough information to devote a separate review to the Japanese crossover.
Appearance
The outside of the car hasn't changed much. If you compare it with the previous, third generation of SUVs, you can see only a few differences. Updates mainly affected lighting technology, the design of the radiator grille and the shape of the bumper. Also, the manufacturer has changed the designwheel rims. Otherwise, the novelty has remained the same, so the release of the new generation can be compared with the usual restyling (when the exterior of the car is only partially changed).
Dimensions and capacity
It is worth noting that the body of the car 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. The ground clearance has been increased by 5 millimeters (now the vehicle's ground clearance is 22 centimeters). Thanks to these changes, the engineers managed to increase the amount of luggage space. Now you can put up to 488 liters of luggage there.
Subaru Forester specifications
Russian buyers will be offered a choice of 3 power units. Among them, the youngest develops a capacity of 150 “horses”, and its working volume is 2 liters. Subaru Forester did not find the next engine immediately, but only six months after the official debut. With its working volume of 2.5 liters, it develops a power of 171 horsepower. This engine will no longer be available as standard to customers of the new Subaru Forester SUV. The technical characteristics of the older unit are the most advanced, since it is this engine that develops power up to 241 horsepower. By the way, its working volume is the same as that of the base engine - 2 liters. Such a poweraccording to the developers, was achieved through turbocharging. Thus, the car becomes more dynamic and fast, while its fuel consumption remains at the same level.
Price for the new Subaru Forester
We have already considered the technical characteristics, now let's move on to the cost. The price for the 4th generation of Japanese SUVs starts at 1 million 149 thousand rubles. "Top" equipment costs about 1 million 695 thousand rubles. The novelty will be delivered to Russia officially, so owners of Subaru Forester cars will not have problems finding spare parts. Spare parts can be found in every city, and a part can be changed at any dealer service station.
