CHERRY HILL, NJ,
Nov. 1, 2012 –
Subaru of America, Inc. 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 Forestermodel. 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 ofground 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.
