The all-new Subaru Forester can tackle almost any terrain with its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder 16-valve Boxer engine, which powers the car with 156 hp and 196 Nm of torque. It's Subaru Philippines' entry in the compact crossover class in the local market, sharing the same platform as with the Impreza and XV subcompact crossover. Its aggressive exterior design consists of the signature hexagonal grille and full-bodied hood complemented by its fierce hawk-eye headlamps. The 2019 update, however, gave the car a fresh look, with minor tweaks on the fog lamps and taillight designs, as well as an increase in dimensions. In terms of cabin gadgets, the fifth-generation Forester has three LCD screens, which are the 4.2-inch instrument cluster, 6.3-inch multifunction display on top of the dashboard, and the 8-inch touchscreen acting as its main head unit. All three are integrated with Subaru Starlink with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Comfort is highlighted by the leather seats, as well as the dual-zone climate control with rear vents.
