Like many leading crossover manufacturers, Subaru's designers and engineers took no chances with a radical facelift for the new 2013 Forester, retaining the basic concept of the previous model.
Smoother roof lines and streamlined headlights greatly softened the slightly increased dimensions of the car - compared to the previous model, the new "forester" received an extended wheelbase by 2 cm, an additional 3 cm in length and 2.5 cm in height.
Together with the new interior ergonomics, this has significantly increased the visual space inside the 2013 Forester. Rear passengers are now given much more free space, a certain “tightness” of the rear of the car has remained in the past.
At the same time, the increase in the height of the car did not affect its stability in any way, and on the contrary, the new Forester of 2013, thanks to the ingenious decisions of the designers of the factory, became more stable than its predecessor.
The trim and instrument panel have also undergone significantchanges - slightly squeaky plastic is much softer to the touch, and the dashboard has become an outstanding element of the overall design of the car interior.
The rear seats of the new crossover are now fully folded down to floor level, which greatly facilitates the transportation of relatively bulky goods. In addition to the new luggage compartment, the rear window is now height-adjustable, making it easier to fill the luggage compartment vertically.
Comfortable armrests are now available for the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers, and a new premium audio system from Harman Kardon will help you enjoy the road.
Access to the salon is now more convenient thanks to doors that drop beyond the dimensions of the body. This innovation made it possible to avoid getting dirt on clothes when getting into the car.
The Subaru Forester diesel received an updated turbocharged engine with the lowest fuel consumption in its class, and the Subaru Forester turbo received paddle shifters, which until recently were the lot of only expensive sports cars.
Now the turbocharged version of the car is devoid of the air intake on the hood, which not only increased the aerodynamics of the crossover, but also made the appearance of the car more attractive.
The soundproofing of the car deserves special praise. Thanks to the updated materials and increased layer thickness, even when driving at high speeds, the noise level incabin is extremely low, which adds comfort to the car owner.
This excellent result was also achieved thanks to a radical, more than 100% increase in torsional rigidity of the body. This made it possible to avoid the occurrence of squeaks even when driving on dirt and uneven roads.
In terms of the overall feel of the established crossover sales leader, the new 2013 Forester looks much better than its predecessor, giving hope that it will continue to lead the class.
