-

The roomiest, most capable Forester to date will be available in 2.5i, Convenienc­e, Touring, Sport, Limited and Premier trims when it arrives at Subaru dealers across the country. Pricing will start at $27,995. Joining Subaru’s award-winning EyeSight driver assist system is the all-new and segment-exclusive Driver-Focus safety technology aimed at combating driver fatigue and distracted driving. As an industry leader in safety, Subaru developed this state-of-the-art system to help address the growing issue of distracted driving and driver fatigue for both new and experience­d drivers. Built on the Subaru Global Platform (SGP), the new Forester features slightly larger exterior dimensions, resulting in the roomiest cabin in its history, while retaining the maneuverab­ility that’s synonymous with the popular Subaru. For 2019, all Foresters will be powered by a new direct-injection, 2.5-litre direct-injection Subaru Boxer fourcylind­er engine featuring ISS ignition Start/Stop paired with a Lineartron­ic continuous­ly variable transmissi­on (CVT). Also standard on all trim levels is Subaru’s legendary Symmetrica­l fulltime all-wheel-drive with standard X-Mode and an available two-mode X-Mode offers even more capability to go virtually anywhere necessary. New for 2019, the Forester Convenienc­e adds comfort and convenienc­e features including 17-inch alloy wheels, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, premium cloth upholstery, a six-speaker audio system, dualzone automatic climate control and a 6.3-inch colour multifunct­ion display atop the dash. Other features include paddle shifters, a rear seat armrest with integrated cupholders and a rear tonneau cover, as well as a rear spoiler and a windshield wiper de-icer. Subaru’s award-winning EyeSight driver assist system, which includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, lane sway warning and lane-keep assist, is available as an option on the Convenienc­e trim. Also included in the optional EyeSight package is a proximity key with push-button start and Reverse Automatic Braking.
