New Subaru Forester Unbounded Quality For faithful subaristi, Forester has always represented the perfect compromise – offering practicality but with an off-road heart. In order to reconsider and reinvent this timeless image, the designers and technicians at Subaru have had to be at their most creative for such a successful car like Forester. What resulted was a project of a highly-meticulous nature which has created a model for 2016 which is splendidly in line with the expectations of an ever-demanding public. Enter the new Subaru Forester, which certainly lacks nothing in physicality, yet remains a car which can manoeuvre well in city traffic, can take whole families and everything they deem necessary on long motorway trips, thanks to the generous rear compartment of a genuine station wagon. An SUV which – again thanks to the low centre of gravity bestowed by the choice of boxer engines (in the 3 fuelling petrol, bi-fuel and diesel) and permanent fourwheel drive with Symmetrical AWD, can get you right to the heart of mountain country along somewhat unpredictable and rough terrain for a joyous get-away weekend.
Inside and Out The 2016 model of the Subaru Forester boasts exterior lines which are more exciting and engaging, and combine well with an interior oozing quality with comfort clearly the order of the day. The external design has the irresistible, unmistakeable character of classic Forester: but now there’s the new headlight unit with LED technology – almost hawk-like in appearance. The interior welcomes you with the open arms of quality itself: comfort, style and reassuring safety, endowing a sensation of pure pleasure for driver and passenger within an SUV with genuinely all-round capabilities. Improvements destined for within the new Subaru Forester ensure a more luxuriant and comfortable look/feel, exemplified by the choice of fabrics, or indeed for those with natural leather upholstery.
Ample room for technology The dashboard instrument display is, naturally enough, the LCD type in colour, in a design giving increased visibility and the enjoyment of travelling on board the new Forester is enhanced by a top quality entertainment and communication system. Subaru Starlink is controlled via an LCD 7” touch-screen placed at the very heart of the central console. Both driver and passenger can operate the audio system, navigation system and mobile phone; can access the internet through a secure connection, download App, make and receive phone calls through Bluethoot™, and of course play your favourite music by connecting external sources via USB, Aux-in or by CD player.
