2019 Subaru Forester: Features explained
Whenever we hear the word Subaru, we instantly think about the World Rally Championship (WRC), don’t we? That is how popular Subaru cars have become in the world of motorsports lately. However, Subaru not only excels in making performance-oriented race or rally cars but it has also got years of experience in building and designing practical cars. One such example is the Subaru Forester.
Subaru Forester has been catering to the needs of the population needs since 1997. It is known for its versatility, reliability, and large cabin space. Over the years of its existence, the Forester has passed through four generations, and now,
the 2019 Subaru Forester is here entering into the fifth generation. So, what all features make the latest model of the Forester interesting? Continue reading as we try to explain the same in this story.
Picturesque peculiarities outside
The 2019 Forester might not be the most aggressive-looking SUV out there in the market but it certainly is very attractive thanks to the gorgeous LED headlamps that come with integrated LED daytime running lights.
The combination as a whole looks very modern. The front grille on the Forester is not very ostentatious. There is only a single horizontal thick chrome slat with the brand’s logo and it looks pretty nice. The side profile is kept busy by the 17-inch alloy wheels and the roof rails that add a bit of sportiness.
Moving to the rear, the tail lights are neatly done. They have clear turn signals. There is also a roof-mounted rear spoiler. Things are again kept simple at the back as there is no chrome embellishment on the tailgate. Oh yes, the exhaust pipe peeking out from under the rear bumper look cool, though.
Appurtenant amenities inside
As we mentioned earlier, the Forester has got an impressive cabin space. Also, the comfortable and supportive seats make even long journeys painless. The 520-litre of boot space is quite a lot and of course, you can increase it even further by folding the rear seats. The black theme inside the cabin keeps things sporty whereas the white stitching all around adds a bit of premium-ness. We also like the 3-spoke steering wheel that comes with various mounted controls.
Thanks to the large windscreens, the outside view from the cabin is very clear and hence, you don’t feel claustrophobic. For your entertainment needs, there is an audio system with a 6.2-inch display that supports USB, AUX, and Bluetooth connectivity. We would have liked to see Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well but unfortunately, they are still unavailable. The dual-zone climate control works brilliantly. Both the driver and front passenger seats are electrically adjustable. Overall, the interior of the Subaru Forester is put together very well.
Masterful mechanicals
Going through the 2019 Subaru Forester specs, you will come to know that it comes in three variants and all of them are powered by the same engine - a 2.0-litre horizontally opposed, 4-cylinder engine that has been tuned to produce 150 PS of maximum power and 196 Nm of peak torque.
As far as the transmission is concerned, there is the Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT unit. The Forester can do a top speed of 192 kmph and comes with Active Torque Split AWD System. The fuel tank here is of 60 litres and Subaru claims a fuel economy of 15.38 kmpl.
Steadfast safety
The Forester comes with a number of safety features to make sure its occupants are at a peace of mind. There is brake assist, safety pedal system, brake override, side door reinforcement beams, engine immobiliser, front, side, knee, and curtain SRS airbags, vehicle dynamics control system, four-channel ABS with EBD, and much more.
These were the top features of the 2019 SubaruForester that make it an interesting buy. There are 8 different colours - Crystal Black Silica, Dark Grey Metallic, Ice Silver Metallic, Crystal White Pearl, Crimson Red, Jasper Green Metallic, Sepia Bronze Metallic, and Horizon Blue Pearl - from which you can pick your favourite. The 2019 Subaru Forester price starts at Php 1.6 million for the base model and goes up to Php 1.8 million for the range-topping variant.
