Forester From $29,990
Subaru has revised the pricing of its entry-level Forester 2.0i
manual All-Wheel Drive to $29,990 Manufacturer's List Price\*, a
$1000 saving, effective February 1, 2014.
Forester is the best-seller in Subaru's range and has been a
multiple award-winner since it established the compact Sports
Utility Vehicle segment in 1997.
Subaru Managing Director, Nick Senior, said: "Forester has long
been a winning package for Subaru and our new entry-level price
will further underline the formidable value that it represents,
combined with its great reputation for safety, engineering,
durability and retained value.
"The safety benefits and flexibility of All-Wheel Drive are
another Forester plus as some other brands charge a considerable
premium for the technology, way above their entry-level two-wheel
drive variants."
All Foresters have an independent five-star rating for occupant
safety from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program
(ANCAP).
Variants of current generation Forester have won several awards
both locally and overseas including:
- Best SUV under $45,000 in the Australia's Best Cars awards,
from the nation's combined motoring organizations
- Best SUV in the Yahoo Autos Car of the Year awards, in the
United States
- Mid Range SUV of the Year by U.K. 4x4 Magazine
- Best Car to Buy 2014 by U.S. automotive publisher High Gear
Media
- 2014 Sport/Utility of the Year by U.S. Motor Trend
magazine
The U.S. specification Forester previously won the Motor Trend
award in 2009 and Outback in 2010, meaning Subaru is the only brand
to have won the award three times.
In May 2013, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS, a
non-profit organisation supported by auto insurers in the U.S.)
awarded the best possible ranking of 2013 TOP SAFETY PICK + to the
Forester currently sold in the North American region.
