Subaru Forester E-BOXER in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

Meet the most efficient and capable Forester yet. The all-new Forester e-Boxer is powered by Subaru’s self-charging hybrid e-Boxer engine, which pairs a 2.0L petrol engine with a lithium-ion battery and electric motor. It starts silently in electric mode and can drive on electric power for around a mile, bringing new efficiency and refinement to the rugged drive you have come to love from the Forester brand.

This no-nonsense SUV is available in XE, Sport or XE Premium spec. LED headlights, keyless entry, a reversing camera and an 8” touchscreen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto come as standard. XE Premium models pile on the kit, with leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, navigation and much more.

Design

You know what you’re getting with the Forester - a tough, practical and robust 4x4 that makes short work of the toughest adventures. LED headlights, roof bars and 18” alloys finish it off. XE Premium models have a sunroof and leather seats.

Drive

Tough and dependable. That’s the Forester. This new model is no different, but this time it harnesses Hybrid tech to boost efficiency and power. With 150PS and 196Nm of torque, it’s a solid performer and it returns up to 34.72mpg combined.

Practicality

With up to 1779-litres of boot space and a powered tailgate (standard on XE Premium models), the Forester is equipped to handle whatever you throw at it. The towing capacity is 1,870kg and the cabin has more than enough space for five adults.

Living with it
