Safety is further enhanced by the excellent high eye-level view and careful optimization of the shape of the pillars to help reduce blind spots and provide outstanding visibility.

VERSATILITY AND LUXURIOUS SPACE

The new Forester offers excellent road clearance with a generous ground clearance of 220mm. The spaciousness of the all-new interior is enhanced by the replacement of the traditional parking brake lever with a new electronic parking brake switch that opens up more space on the center console.

The new Forester also introduces redefined interior features such as divided seatback pockets, USB charging ports and air-conditioning vents behind the center console, bringing a more luxurious riding experience for the passengers. The instrument panel also comes with a high-grade multifunction display.

The new model will also come with added rear leg room, as well as an increased cargo room with wider rear gate opening. The availability of the power rear gate allows opening, closing and locking of the entire vehicle with just the touch of a button.

Built to last, the new Forester uses extensive high-strength steel that delivers durability and rigidity. The ruggedness of the SUV is further underscored with the raised body, claddings and underguard, coupled with welldefined fenders with prominent protrusions. The updated design pays homage to the model’s earlier predecessor — hence, the resemblance —with subtle updates on the grille, h eadlights and tail lights for added sophistication.

No prices have been announced, although Motor Image officials say that the new Forester shouldn’t cost much higher than the current one.
