Engine, Transmission, and Performance
All the new Subaru Forester comes powered by a standard 2.5-liter BOXER four-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 182 horsepower and can tow up to 1,500 pounds. The standard gearbox is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that transfers power to all four wheels. This setup combines wonderfully to offer unmatched traction and stability.
The Forester offers a smooth and refined ride with accurate steering and formidable braking for emergency stops. All-wheel drive is standard on all Forester models. The Subaru Forester also offers the transaxle mode, also called the X-mode, which optimizes engine output and transmission ratio, increasing the all-wheel-drive system engagement. It uses enhanced control of the VDC system to reduce or increase individual wheelspin, providing optimal traction on various types of terrain and low friction surfaces.
