Edmunds says: The 2014 Subaru Forester gets an update with some major hardware changes.
The Car Connection reports: The 2014 Forester is built on what Subaru calls "virtually the same footprint as the previous model," but its profile looks bolder and decidedly sportier than the current version. Of note are the side mirrors that have been moved farther back from the A-pillars, as in the latest Subaru Impreza, an update of the grille and headlights to match that latest redesign, and more strongly sculpted flanks leading into the taillamps. In two separate pictures, it appears that there are two different versions of the front bumper and lower airdam, with the more aggressive design, and its side scoops and blacked-out bumper areas (and showier wheels to match) likely reserved for the Turbo.
- Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive w/ 32 MPG HWY and Lineartronic CVT delivers excellent fuel economy.
- SUBARU BOXERš engine provides efficient operation and a low center of gravity for balance that can be felt.
- Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle standard on all 2014 Forester non-turbo models.
- The protection of seven airbags and rollover sensor standard.
- Available X-MODE ensures excellent driving performance even on poor road surfaces.
- For those wanting additional power, the Forester 2.0XT comes with a new direct injection turbo (DIT) Subaru BOXER engine which produces 250 hp and 258 lb-ft torque.
- Improved and refined interior space with available Harmon/Kardon audio featuring Aha.
- Available EyeSight Driver Assist Technology that makes a safe Forester even safer.
