Sat-nav for Forester X

SUBARU has announced a limited-edition version of its entry-level Forester X, which adds satellite-navigation for an extra $990.

Just 900 examples of the navigation-equipped Forester X will be available in both five-speed manual and four-speed automatic guises, priced from $31,980 plus on-road costs – up from $30,990 for the standard Forester X.

Subaru’s factory-fitted sat-nav system, which is not normally available on the base Forester X, includes Bluetooth connectivity and a reversing camera, and remains a $2500 option on range-topping variants of Subaru’s top-selling compact SUV.

Like every Subaru model sold in Australia, all Foresters continue to come as standard with all-wheel drive, electronic stability control, six airbags and a maximum five-star ANCAP crash safety rating.
