Suabru Reveals All-New 2014 Forester
Subaru Canada, Inc released the first official photos of the all-new 2014 Forester, which will make its public debut in Japan on November 13, followed by its North American premiere at the Los Angeles auto show in late November and Canadian introduction at the Montreal auto show in January. The new Subaru Forester will maintain its true SUV characteristics with a bolder profile than before, while offering a roomier interior with increased rear-seat legroom and an enlarged cargo area with virtually the same dimensional footprint as the outgoing model.
The all-new Subaru Forester is the fourth generation to feature Subaru's celebrated symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system. Subaru's popular Forester will also continue to offer its 2.5-litre naturally aspirated SUBARU BOXER engine as well as a new 2.0-litre direct-injection turbocharged version, producing 250 horsepower. Fuel economy improves across the lineup with the introduction of a new six-speed manual transmission and available Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission).
The all-new five-passenger 2014 Subaru Forester preserves the optimal blend of capability and spirited handling that have made it one of Subaru's best-selling models for the past 15 years. Refined suspension delivers sharper handling as well as comfortable ride quality, helping the Forester out-handle ordinary SUVs. A generous 220 millimetres of ground clearance enhances off-pavement driving capability.
Along with its exceptionally roomy interior, the 2014
Subaru Forester will include convenience and entertainment features including
smartphone integration, navigation, rear-view camera and harman/kardon premium
audio amplifier and speakers.

2013 Subaru BRZ Preview
Stunning good looks are just the start. |
| There are plenty of bland-looking cars out there
that offer truly mediocre performance. The 2013 Subaru BRZ is the polar opposite
of that?a devastatingly handsome car that is equally fun to drive. This exciting addition to the family brings innovative Subaru thinking to an entirely new car: a rear-wheel-drive, 2+2 sports coupe with razor-sharp handling characteristics. An all-new SUBARU BOXER engine?one that delivers an inspired mix of performance, driveability and efficiency?sets the stage. The flat, horizontal design of this engine type gives each Subaru vehicle a low centre of gravity, which helps reduce body roll and improve stability in the corners. The BRZ also benefits from other components familiar to the Subaru vehicle line, including the lightweight, super-strong chassis and the fully independent suspension system. But in the case of the Subaru BRZ, all of these characteristics have been exploited to the nth degree, creating a car with one of the lowest centres of gravity of any sports car. This has served to create a level of handling response that is so profound, it borders on the telepathic. In fact, the 2013 Subaru BRZ knows what you're thinking right now. |
| Exterior design |
| Just one look from any angle?that's all it takes to fall head-over-heels for the sexy 2013 Subaru BRZ. But little wonder: With its aerodynamically sculpted lines, aggressive nose, short overhangs, shapely fender flares and low, wide stance, who could possibly resist? |
| Interior design |
| With its ultra-low seating position, heavily bolstered sport seats, small steering wheel and high-tech gauge set, the interior of the Subaru BRZ is clearly purpose-built for performance. But it's also built for comfort, with room for four, premium upholstery or leather and Alcantara seating surfaces, folding rear seatbacks and ample trunk space. (Compromise is so 2011.) |
| Engineering |
| Under the skin, the Subaru BRZ is a true sports car through and through. A responsive SUBARU BOXER engine. A lightweight, highly rigid chassis. A rear-wheel drive layout. The choice of a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic with sport mode. And a fully independent suspension system with stabilizer bars front and rear for better stability and enhanced control. |
