The Third Generation All New Subaru
Forester was recently unveiled by OTE Group, dealer for Subaru
cars in
Oman
. The New
Forester is developed with the concept “Best Packaging for an
active Lifestyle” to
achieve the ease of
use, comfort, safe and enjoyable driving in a variety of
situations for the whole family.
The
All New 2009 Subaru Forester, builds upon its
predecessor’s reputation as an icon of safety, dependability
and versatility. The new-generation 2009 model projects a
bolder design and making a major leap in safety technology,
comfort, refinement and driving dynamics.
All New Subaru
Forester
offers a skilful balance between ease of use,
such as minimum turning radius, field of vision, and ease of
boarding, sufficient cabin space for all passengers to ride in
comfort, and superior utility. This new model achieves a
superior drivability that responds perfectly to the driver’s
intentions, while also providing a relaxing cabin space,
riding comfort, easy of entry and exit and superior utility.
Further it offers a modern urban design in addition to the
strength, power, and quality expected from an SUV.
Drivability is
further improved by optimisation of approach and departure
angles. The generous 215 mm road clearance allows the off-road
capabilities of an SUV on rough roads, for reliable driving
performance in any situation.
In addition, the
excellent field of vision provided by a wide windshield area,
coupled with the improved vantage point seating that provides
a higher eye point ensure an excellent field of vision for
easy confirmation of vehicle and driving conditions
contributes to a reduction in fatigue while
driving.
A combination of
functionality and beauty achieves an elegant form with the
boldness of an SUV. Exterior design features Sculpted styling
Streamlined, yet sculpted styling evokes images of powerful,
well-defined muscles carved out of stone. Form that balances
boldness and elegance. Lines extending from the front grill to
the bonnet, and sharply defined character lines running from
the sides of headlights and toward the rear elegantly
accentuate the form. The wheel arches project strongly from
the front and rear bumpers, creating a bold SUV design. The
skilful balance of these two elements produces a distinct
form.
The interior space
is both comfortable and comforting. In addition, it is loaded
with a wide variety of easy to operate systems and devices in
order to provide enjoyment as well as smooth functionality for
all passengers. Platinum colored interior - a modern, cool
colour that is both elegant and relaxing with a taste of sport
Centre panel and door trim. The rich and refined interior
design is accentuated by the centre panel, made up of a
combination of brushed aluminum main panel and side panels, as
well as by the door trim, embellished with metal-finish panels
for power window switches. Instrument panel Information
meters, and audio and navigation systems are located at the
top of the centre panel, near the field of vision for easy
access without distraction from driving. The heater control
panel uses a 3-dial system for easy operation. Air
conditioning vents are located immediately above the dials, in
a very clean design that allows necessary operations to be
performed in a single movement. In addition, decorative
metal-finish insets add elegance to the design.
All
New Subaru Forester is also equipped with Combination
meter, a series of three blue meters with chrome-plated rings.
These meters are normally illuminated both night and day, for
improved visibility and enjoyment of the blue gradation
colour. When the ignition key is turned on, a sweep function
brings the needle quickly to the maximum reading and then back
down, imitating the thrilling sense of
speed.
A telescopic
function has been added to the conventional tilt adjustment
column. This added functionality improves both the
optimisation of driving position, and the ease of entry and
exit.
Audio system CD
player and AM/FM tuner [compatible with MP3 and WMA
formats]This audio system features not only improved audio
quality and fine-tuning to meet acoustic conditions, but it
also includes a function that cancels vibration and echo from
the doors. An auxiliary outlet is a standard feature on the
centre console for easy connection of portable media players
and mobile devices. The seven high-performance speakers of the
woofer system are arranged optimally for a dynamic and clear
audio experience. In addition, audio control switches are
located on the steering wheel in all models, for easy
operability while driving.
A variety of seat arrangements
are possible for a wide range of uses, from improving
passenger comfort to increasing cargo space. Seats also
provide comfort and alleviate fatigue on long drives, while
also providing balance between ease of entry and exit, sitting
comfort, and support while driving. Manual seat lifter Standard on driver’s
seats on all models .60/40 split fold down
rear seatback with reclining feature The 60/40 split fold down
rear seatback with reclining feature allows convenient
arrangement of the rear seat when loading long items into the
vehicle. Reclining rear seats, a feature improves comfort in
the rear seats during long drives. The front seat cushions
employ highly resilient urethane materials that effectively
absorb vibration during a drive. In addition, newly developed
seatback springs firmly support the driver’s hips and back to
maintain the optimal driving
position.
Increase in overall
height and width have resulted in a larger cargo area over the
previous model. In addition, the newly developed
double-wishbone rear suspension allows for wheel flares with
little protrusion and contributes to a large-volume cargo
space. Further, great attention has been given to ease of use,
such as no protrusion from the rear gate opening area or trim,
and ease of unloading
cargo.
VDC (Vehicle
Dynamics Control) VDC, which assists the superior driving
stability of symmetrical AWD, is standard on all models. Fed
by information gathered by sensors that monitor vehicle and
road conditions for VDC control (engine control and brake
control to prevent lateral slipping), TCS control (engine
control and brake LSD for traction control), and ABS control
(anti-lock brakes) for driving stability. [Chassis] With the
aim of achieving “new Subaru driving with comfort and
reliability”, the
