SUBARU DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL CONCEPT The advantage of a Forester is the inherent benefits of its signature Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (DC 3). The body uses hightensile steel to achieve high strength and light weight. A highly rigid structure delivers a smoother, quieter ride. The rear suspension was made for rough roads and embraces sharp corners with poise and precision. Confidence with comfort, athleticism with safety, and power with efficiency is what makes a Forester more than an SUV. 4 -SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION + ACTIVE TORQUE SPLIT AWD With normal, sports and manual modes, the E-4AT 4-speed automatic transmission continually adapts to your driving style. It’s teamed with the superior grip and stability of Active Torque Split AWD, which instantly distributes torque amongst all four wheels while the vehicle is in motion to suit the conditions, based on individual wheel speeds, steering angle, and lateral and rotational forces. 5 -SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION + VISCOUS CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD A slick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission offers swift, sporty control. It’s paired with AWD utilizing a viscous limited-slip centre differential (LSD) that instantaneously maintains the front-torear torque balance as traction changes. 1 2.5X models. 2.5XT model: 225 mm. 07
