Heart and soul
Subaru Forester's iconic Boxer engine delivers an inherently low centre of gravity for confident handling and optimal overall vehicle stability. This dynamic performance is enhanced by the Subaru Global Platform, which has been engineered to optimise steering response for superior cornering and control ‑ thanks to increased rigidity and lower centre of gravity. This intrinsic stability boosts the Forester’s performance, comfort and safety, while the platform reduces noise and vibration for a quieter, more refined cabin experience.
All-round visibility
The Subaru Forester has always been celebrated for its exceptional all‑round visibility — a true hallmark of the nameplate. And that hasn't changed. Discovering more means being open to seeing more ‑ and the all‑new Subaru Forester continues that with a cabin to enhance driver visibility. The new more open cabin design has been carefully engineered for panoramic‑style visibility. You'll experience improved sight lines and a commanding view of the road, thanks to an expansive glasshouse design, slender pillars and minimal blind spots. An airy sunroof floods the cabin...

1. The Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) is the minimum future value of your vehicle as determined by Subaru Financial Services (SFS) and set out in your contract. At the end of the term, you can select from three options: (1) sell or trade in the vehicle and repay your loan balance; (2) return the vehicle to us; or (3) retain the vehicle by paying the GFV amount, which is a lump sum amount owed to us at the end of the loan term. Total interest payable on the loan will be higher than a loan with no GFV. Monthly repayments will be lower compared to a similar loan term with no GFV or no equivalent balloon final payment. Available on new and demonstrator Subaru vehicles for selected models only. Vehicle eligibility is subject to change. If you decide to return your car at the end of your term, SFS, or another person or entity with SFS's agreement will purchase the vehicle from you for the GFV, which will be applied to reduce your outstanding loan amount.
