Overview of the new Forester 2013

Like many leading manufacturers of crossovers, designers and engineers of the company Subaru did not take risks with a radical update of the appearance of the new Forester 2013, keeping the basic concept of the previous model.

Smoother roof lines and streamlined headlights greatly softened the slightly enlarged dimensions of the car - in comparison with the previous model, the new "forester" received a 2 cm longer wheelbase, an additional 3 cm in length and 2.5 cm in height.

Combined with the new ergonomics of the passenger compartment, this has significantly increased the visual space inside the Forester 2013 car. Rear passengers are now given much more free space, there was some "clamping" of the back of the car in the past.

At the same time, the increase in the height of the car did not in any way affect its stability, and even vice versa, the new Forester 2013 thanks to the ingenious solutions of the plant's designers became more stable than its predecessor.

Interior trim and dashboard have also undergone significant changes - slightly creaking plastic has become much softer to the touch, and the dashboard has become an outstanding element of the overall interior design of the car.

The rear seats of the new crossover have now fully folded to the level of the floor, which greatly facilitates the transportation of relatively large cargo. In addition to the innovations of the luggage compartment, the rear window was able to adjust in height, thus facilitating the filling of the luggage compartment vertically.

Comfortable armrests are now available to the driver, the front passenger, as well as the rear passengers, and the new premium audio system from Harman Cardon will help to enjoy the road.

Access to the salon has now become more convenient thanks to the doors that go beyond the dimensions of the body. This innovation allowed to avoid getting dirt on clothes when landing in the car.

Subaru Forester diesel was updated turbocharged engine with the lowest in its class of fuel consumption, and Subaru Forester turbo - shift paddles shift gearbox, which until recently were the lot of only expensive sports cars.

Now the turbo version of the car is devoid of an air intake on the hood, which not only increased the aerodynamics of the crossover, but also made the appearance of the car more attractive.

A separate praise is the noise insulation of the car. Thanks to the updated materials and the increase in the thickness of the layer, even when driving at high speeds, the noise level in the cabin is extremely low, which adds comfort to the car owner.

This excellent result was also obtained thanks to a radical, more than 100% increase in the rigidity of the body on torsion. This made it possible to avoid the occurrence of squeaks, even when moving on unpaved and uneven roads.

As for the general feelings from the recognized sales leader in the crossovers segment, the new Forester 2013 looks much more profitable than its predecessor, which allows us to hope for keeping them in the lead in this class of cars.
