Subaru Forester has been named the
Compact SUV People's Choice for the second consecutive year by
the Carsales Network websites. Subaru Forester repeated its
earlier success when it beat the competing models by a
comfortable margin.
“Subaru Forester has been a stand-out
sales success and will be the best-selling SUV across all
categories” said one senior Subaru official. “This is
reflected in the Carsales award and we're delighted that it's
maintained this status for the second year in a row” he added.
Subaru Forester builds upon its
reputation as an icon of safety, dependability and
versatility. The new-generation model projects a bolder design
and making a major leap in safety technology, comfort,
refinement and driving dynamics. It also offers a modern urban
design in addition to the strength, power, and quality
expected from an SUV. The generous 220 mm road clearance
allows the off-road capabilities of an SUV on rough roads and
reliable driving performance in any situation. A combination
of functionality and beauty achieves an elegant form with the
boldness of an SUV.
Increase in overall height and width have
resulted in a larger cargo area over the previous model. VDC
(Vehicle Dynamics Control), which assists the superior driving
stability of symmetrical AWD, is standard on all models.
Subaru Forester was redesigned for comfort and reliability on
the basis of a new chassis concept, the Subaru Dynamic Chassis
Control Concept. This new design achieves a high-level of
balance between operating stability, impact safety, and
vibration/noise reduction. In particular, the All New Forester
eliminates harshness to provide the riding comfort of a
saloon, but in the body of an SUV.
The Subaru success story is one that many
manufacturers can only dream about these days.
