Subaru Forester, Soon to be Revamped!
MANILA: SUV market is already flooded and is getting piled up with new models every second. Joining the fleet next is the 2016 Subaru Forester, pictures of which recently got viral on net and this time again from a Chinese domain site. The timing seems to be right, as it has been roughly three years since the car was first revealed in Japan.
What we have are some scanned brochure images showing two sets of cars, first being the Forester 2.0i-L and next one the Forester 2.0XT variant. The facelifted car has not much changed in terms of exterior design language. The only difference being the new set of LED headlights that now display a non-swept back look, also one can notice the new fog lamp case surrounded with chrome trim. On to the side, the car features a new set of alloy wheels that will come along with the same body color door handles and side indicator integrated ORVM. The rear profile looks more or less similar, with same old taillight design and rear roof spoiler, but the new car now showcases a shark-fin antenna and says bye to the old conventional antenna. Also, the rear window looks steeper and sharper now.
Similar is the case with the new Forester 2.0XT, it will continue to carry the old design theme with some minor changes on the grille and alloy wheel design. In addition to the exterior images, the site also carried revamped interior pictures. Changes included a new three-spoke steering wheel design with buttons, an updated instrument binnacle and new trim options for the dashboard. The safety front now gets additional features like Pre-Collision Throttle Management, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure with Sway Warning.
The scanned images didn't reveal the engine revisions. The Forester is currently powered by a 2.0L DOHC 16V, Horizontally-Opposed, 4-Cylinder, 4-Stroke, Petrol Engine that generates 150 PS @ 6,200 rpm and 198 Nm @ 4,000 rpm. On The other hand, Forester 2.0XT power mill produces a maximum power output of 240 PS @ 5,600 rpm with a peak torque of 350 Nm @ 2,400-3,600 rpm. Both the engines are coupled with Lineartronic transmission option with AWD.
