We got our hands on the ALL-NEW 6th Generation Subaru Forester in the stunning landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island. Subaru has finally delivered the ‘Strong Hybrid’ system we’ve been waiting for, and it’s smarter, safer, and more capable than ever before. Is this the ultimate Kiwi adventure SUV?
A HUGE Leap in Power & Efficiency – The headline act is the next-generation ‘Strong Hybrid’ e-Boxer system, and it’s a complete re-engineering of Subaru’s powertrain. A combined system output of 145kW—a 31.8% increase over the outgoing model—thanks to a 2.5L Boxer engine and a potent electric motor. Experience responsive acceleration from a standstill and enjoy electric-only driving at low speeds. Go further on your adventures with a claimed real-world driving range of over 1,000km on a single tank!► Petrol Option – For the purists, a refined 2.5L Boxer engine is also available, delivering a trusted 136kW of power.
The Forester retains the legendary go-anywhere attitude that made it famous. In a milestone for its class in New Zealand, it’s the first to pair a strong hybrid system with Subaru’s renowned, permanent, mechanical Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
