The Forester is an iconic Subaru model. A pioneer in the SUV segment since its launch in 1997, its fifth generation has just been introduced. Metro has met in detail in Chile. It has been sold in Peru for two weeks now.
At first glance, the exterior design of this fifth generation marks a continuity with its practical style. The most notable changes concern the carved side area, with a few marked wheel stands. On the back, there are optical groups in the form of "C".
Thus, the Forester continues to offer a familiar image, an aspect related to security. The Japanese brand has built this vehicle under the new modular platform, which offers greater torsional stiffness and increases its dimensions in search of comfort.
Once aboard, we find an interior that seduces the modern and the sober, with a panel similar to that of his younger brothers, the Impreza and the XV. Of course, it has differentiated coatings, soft to the touch and off-road thanks to its raw textures and metal elements.
The Forester is available in six versions, but its basic model offers excellent equipment: rear view camera, automatic climate control, touch entertainment system, with Bluetooth, USB port, CD, radio and browser. In addition, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Similarly, all versions have a 4.2 "digital multifunction computer and a second information screen at the top of the table, where the animation of the SUV appears, showing the lighting of the lights, the wheel function drive, oil level, fuel consumption, where we are, time and day.
From XS versions to the Limited Eyesight, there is already an 8 "multimedia display, six speakers, a bi-zonal air conditioning , electric seats, keyless access, ignition buttons, among other technological aspects of the six-star seal.
Mechanics and Operation
The new Forester is offered with a 2.0-liter engine developing a force of 156 HP and a torque of 20 kgf.m at 4,000 rpm; and 2.5L engine, which reaches 184 HP and a torque of 24.4 kgf.m on 4,400 rpm. Metro was aboard the most powerful version: Limited Eyesight.
So we leave the Chilean capital to travel 283 kilometers to the snow-capped mountains of Chillán. During the ride, the ride of the vehicle is sensational, with a suspension that filters imperfections, excellent agility when moving sinuous sections and good CVT (continuous variable) transmission behavior, which all Subaru models have in mind. possession. In our destination, we ventured out on the snow, mud, pebbles, unevenness … Of all these surfaces, the Forester was a success. It is not in vain that it has the symmetrical all-wheel drive system (SAWD) and the X-Mode system (normal, snow and mud). And that we use mixed tires. With tires focused on this activity, the performance must be spectacular.
Superior Safety
The six versions of the Forester come with seven airbags, a fact to consider. But the highlight is the award-winning Eyesight system, available in the most equipped version and working perfectly in Lima, as we saw last weekend.
This mode is a set of cameras that provides pre-crash emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, an accelerator attenuator prior to the collision, a previous vehicle start warning, and an unintentional departure warning. the way. A marvel of security.
