Subaru Philippines has entered the new-energy vehicle segment with the introduction of the Forester e-Boxer Hybrid. On that note, many customers are wondering whether or not it is worth investing in an electrified sport utility vehicle built and manufactured by the Japanese carmaker.

So, without further ado, here are the top three things that make Subaru’s newest offering a good pick for most car buyers:

Capable powertrain

Under the bonnet of the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid is a 2.5-liter e-Boxer engine paired with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Power is transmitted through a hybrid lineartronic continuously variable transmission with a six-speed manual mode and paddle shifters.

Rides comfortably

The interior of the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid makes it a comfortable vehicle to be in.
