SUBARU CORE TECHNOLOGY
SUBARU BOXER® Engine
Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive 2.5-LITRE DOHC SUBARU BOXER®
Symmetry gives you balance. Balance gives you control.
Matched with the SUBARU BOXER® engine for an almost
perfectly symmetrical layout, the Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time
AWD system maximizes the power delivery with exceptional
traction and generates balance and stability for total control in
almost any condition, confidence in nearly any situation, and
performance that’s simply unexpected in an SUV. MAX TORQUE:
174 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm
SI-DRIVE 1
Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) can adjust the responsiveness of
its drivetrain to support your driving style, road conditions or any
driving state at your immediate request. Quickly remap the throttle
response and automatic-transmission shifting behaviour to ensure
that you always have the best performance for any circumstance.
MAX OUTPUT:
170 hp @ 5800 rpm
The 2.5-litre SUBARU BOXER® engine balances efficient excitement
with refined response. It utilizes an Active Valve Control System (AVCS)
to precisely control intake-valve timing, boosting low-end torque while
cutting fuel consumption and reducing emissions.
2.0-LITRE DOHC TURBO SUBARU BOXER®
MAX OUTPUT:
250 hp @ 5600 rpm
MAX TORQUE:
258 lb-ft @ 2000-4800 rpm
The 2.0L Direct Injection Turbocharged (DIT) engine provides a dynamic
driving experience without compromise. Control the power through the
high-torque Lineartronic® CVT—designed to provide maximum efficiency
and environmental performance that surpasses what you previously
thought possible from an SUV.
Transmissions
6-Speed Manual Transmission +
Viscous Coupling Centre Differential AWD
A slick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission offers swift, sporty control. It’s
paired with AWD, utilizing a viscous coupling limited-slip centre differential
(LSD) that maintains the front-to-rear torque balance as traction changes.
Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission)
The Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission is designed to work
seamlessly with the SUBARU BOXER® engine and Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time
AWD to perform smoothly as it keeps the engine in its optimal power range.
The Forester 2.0XT features a high-torque Lineartronic® CVT that is capable
of handling the higher demands of a turbocharged engine. It maximizes
driving performance with 6- and 8-speed manual modes while maintaining
great fuel efficiency.
Paddle Shifters
Available paddle shifters are mounted on the steering wheel for fingertip
control, giving you the power to select the gear ratio of the Lineartronic®
CVT that best suits your driving situation. The result is a sharper and sportier
driving experience.
