Quick TestCar reviews - Subaru - ForesterSubaru modelsOverviewSubaru serves up comfortable and capable new-generation Forester medium SUV7 Sep 2018 By TUNG NGUYEN SUBARU Australia’s Forester has long been considered the safe and dependable choice in the mid-size SUV segment, never excelling in any one particular area but broadening its appeal by ticking lots of boxes.

However, in switching to new-generation form – and Subaru’s Global Platform that already underpins the Impreza and XV – the Forester loses its entry-level manual grade and turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, for an uprated 2.5-litre naturally aspirated boxer four and continuously variable transmission.
