The Subaru Forester is always prepared for wherever your road leads you. It starts inside with our exclusive

engineering—Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time All-Wheel Drive and SUBARU BOXER® engine for balance and

control—and it reaches out to every component of your vehicle, working together to deliver invigorating

driving with a comforting sense of security. With Forester, your possibilities are endless. After all, it’s what’s

inside every Subaru that always delivers the trust you need to put confidence in motion.

Trust balance to satisfy.

Trust safety that inspires.

Trust innovation that liberates.

Trust what’s insideto expand your possibilities.

Symmetrical All-Wheel DriveSymmetry 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.

AGILITY IN AN EMERGENCY

In bad weather, or in the precious seconds it takes to react

to a sudden situation, the symmetrical drivetrain with

impressive side-to-side balance provides the stability,

agility and traction that help you step around danger.

DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE

Exceptional traction makes acceleration immediate and

exhilarating. And the symmetry helps the Forester deliver

responsive handling because it ’s more stable during

cornering, for a unique feeling of control at all times.

CONSTANT CONTACT

The more your tires are engaged with the road, the more

control you have. Power is routed to all four tires all the

time in order to maintain optimal connection to the road,

maximizing handling and control while in motion.

It corners the market on confidence. And cornering.

WHAT’S INSIDE:The SUBARU BOXER® engine with its distinctive horizontally opposed

pistons and revolutionary long-stroke design.

WHAT IT DOES:It delivers inherent balance for exceptional smoothness, rigidity for high

strength, and a low centre of gravity to out-handle ordinary SUVs.

INNOVATION IN MOTION

The SUBARU BOXER® engine outpaces the demands of tomorrow while

retaining all their time-proven benefits, from smooth power to more

balanced handling. A revolutionary long-stroke design revs eagerly while

delivering more efficient combustion. Air, fuel and temperature are precisely

controlled to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Coupled with the

AWD, the Forester offers you sharper handling, better fuel efficiency and a

no-compromise approach to safety and comfort.

Keep your profile low, and your expectations high.

LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE

The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and well balanced, generating

less vibration than “V-type” or “in-line” engines for more durability and more

reliable performance.

INCREASED STABILITY

Because the engine block has a flatter profile and sits lower in the chassis, the

overall vehicle is more stably balanced and resistant to side-to-side motion

than other designs.

SMOOTH POWER

At any rpm the engine delivers immediate, responsive power that comes on

smooth. The pistons lay flat and work against each other to reduce vibrations,

making the ride as comfortable as it is exciting.

2.5-LITRE DOHCSUBARU BOXER®

This turbocharged DOHC 2.5-litre engine combines the immediate gratification of sports-

car performance with the lasting pleasures of SUBARU BOXER® balance. A high-flow

intercooler, Active Valve Control System (AVCS) and virtually no turbo lag, all generate a

torrent of torque, a continuous crescendo of acceleration, and immeasurable fun.

Forester ’s 2.5-litre double overhead camshaf t (DOHC) engine balances ef ficient

excitement with refined response. Amongst its many enhancements are an optimised

intake, cleaner combustion, and an Active Valve Control System (AVCS) providing

exceptionally precise control of intake-valve timing. Together, they boost low-end torque

while cutting fuel consumption and emissions.

Satisfaction with stability.WHAT’S INSIDE:A balanced chassis with a low centre of gravity, complemented by Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time

AWD and a finely tuned suspension.

WHAT IT DOES:These elements of control collaborate in precise harmony to deliver surefooted confidence,

composure and cornering competence beyond ordinary SUVs.

SUSPENSION

Forester’s strut-type front and double wishbone rear suspension have been engineered to inspire even greater handling confidence.

Innovative shock-absorber valves and optimised tuning respond with extreme precision, enhancing tire contact and driver feedback.

The compact rear suspension allows for a roomier, more useful cargo area, and even compensates for heavy loads. An impressive

220 mm1 of ground clearance balance authentic SUV capability with a quiet ride and sporty, surefooted handling.

SUBARU DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL CONCEPT

The advantage of a Forester is the inherent benefits of its signature

Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept (DC3). The body uses high-

tensile 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.

-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.

4

-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-to-

rear torque balance as traction changes.

WHAT’S INSIDE:An advanced system of safety features, from restraint systems to the surrounding body structure, all

working together to keep you safe.

WHAT IT DOES:Forester’s engineering provides an inside-out approach to protecting its occupants in the event

that a collision is unavoidable.

Total safety comes from its core.

BREAK AWAY ENGINE

Every Subaru goes above and beyond common practice when

it comes to your safety. In the event of a head-on collision, your

Forester’s SUBARU BOXER® engine and gearbox are driven

under the front seat occupants and away from the cabin for your

protection.

PASSIVE SAFETY, TO BETTER SURVIVE A COLLISION

Forester is engineered to protect its driver, passengers and even pedestrians with a network of progressive safety

systems. Advanced SRS1 airbags, active front headrests, collapsible pedals and 3-point seatbelts help protect

occupants directly. Surrounding these systems is a strategically strengthened body structure, including Subaru’s

Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames, to help minimize the impact energies that reach its occupants or pedestrians.

It’s a core Subaru value that driving enjoyment starts with your security and peace of mind.

SEATS, SEATBELTS AND SRS1 AIRBAGS

Standard on every Forester are front, front side and curtain

SRS1 airbags, as well as height-adjustable front seatbelts with

pretensioners to hold occupants firmly in place, and load

limiters that ease peak forces to the chest. Active front headrests

automatically move in a rear collision for better support of the

head and neck.

RING-SHAPED REINFORCEMENT FRAMES

The Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames s trengthen the

passenger cabin from the roof to the doors, pillars and floor.

This design helps to divert and dissipate impact energy away

from the occupants in a collision. The front crumple zone is

integral to the frame.

PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION

Forester was designed with the objective of providing a high

level of pedestrian protection. Shock-absorbing space between

the hood and engine helps to reduce pedestrian injury in

an accident, as do an energy-absorbing front bumper and a

specially designed area around the windshield wipers.

1 The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS airbags) affords the driver and passenger additional protection in some collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment. The combination of SRS and seatbelts provides the best protection in a serious accident.

11

In control for total protection.

WHAT’S INSIDE:Forester’s agile response, Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD and advanced active safety

systems for control in compromising situations.

WHAT IT DOES:Delivers a surefooted and quick reaction for your protection, since the best way to survive an

accident is to avoid it altogether.

ACTIVE SAFETY, TO HELP YOU AVOID A COLLISION

Many of the same features that make Forester fun to drive also help keep it focused on your safety. The low centre of gravity of

its SUBARU BOXER® engine further enhances the precise, surefooted and stable handling of its Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time

AWD. Its standard Vehicle Dynamics Control System, responsive steering, antilock brakes, and even the excellent visibility of its

large windows are designed to help the driver stay confidently in control.

BRAKING SYSTEM

Forester ’s standard 4-wheel disc brakes feature a 4-channel

Antilock Braking Sys tem (ABS) and Elec tronic Brake-force

Distribution to rebalance front/rear braking pressure when the

vehicle is loaded. Brake Assist provides greater force in sudden

braking, even if the driver doesn’t brake hard enough, soon

enough. And Hill Holder2 holds the brakes for an extra second to

help prevent rollback during uphill starts.

VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM

The Vehicle Dynamics Control System uses an array of sensors to

analyse if Forester is following the driver’s intended course while

cornering or in an evasive manoeuvre. If the vehicle approaches

the limits of stability, the system instantly adjusts the AWD torque

distribution1, engine output and brakes at each wheel, to help keep

the vehicle on course.

From the giant glass sunroof1 to luminescent needles that invite you to drive with a full sweep of

the gauges as you fire up the engine, Forester’s cockpit is designed to be an extremely intuitive

experience. Add the sculpted, smooth and relaxing seats and ample legroom and head clearance

and you’ll find the interior will surely please everyone—regardless of how much or how many you

bring with you.

Filled with thought for every action.

The space to fit in everything, including your imagination.

WHAT’S INSIDE:Forester offers flexible utility with surprising capacity. Ample passenger

space with exciting and innovative cargo solutions.

WHAT IT DOES:One of the best aspects of driving a Forester is knowing that there’s

almost no limit to its capabilit ies. Its compact suspension and

reconfigurable luggage areas of its expansive cabin—outfitted with

flat-folding seats and numerous bins, pockets and trays—are experts in

handling curvy roads and large cargo loads. And a wide rear gate and

up to 1,087 kg1 of towing capacity (with trailer brakes) are even more

ways Forester inspires you to use your imagination.

Page 17: 2013 Forester Brochure

15

READY FOR LONG ITEMS, OR LONG WEEKENDS

Forester is well prepared to keep up with your life, from planned

vacations to spontaneous shopping. The cargo area can

accommodate four large suitcases or four golf-club bags2, while an

array of hooks helps secure smaller items. For longer items, the rear

seats fold flat in a 60/40 split.

BIGGER IDEAS FOR SMALLER ITEMS

Ingeniously designed, useful storage abounds throughout the

cabin, including bottle holders in the doors, an overhead console,

and a multi-function centre console with a padded armrest3. An

especially thoughtful treat for rear-seat passengers is an illuminated

retractable tray with cup holders (2.5X Touring Package, 2.5X Limited

Package, 2.5XT Limited).

Subaru vehicles are uniquely designed to get out there more—and to leave it out there less. We build our vehicles for maximum longevity because more time spent on the road equals less time spent in junkyards and landfills. Fully 95.4% of our vehicles sold in Canada over the last 10 years are still on the road today.1 You’ll also find very little waste created in the production of a Subaru—many of our vehicles are built in the Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., (SIA) factory, which was the first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to achieve zero-landfill status. Other Subaru facilities around the world now achieve similar goals in helping to preserve the environment. Respect for our surroundings is yet another way that Subaru vehicles help to build driver confidence for the road ahead.

1 Based on R. L. Polk Canada, Inc. Canadian Vehicle In Operation data as of July 2, 2011, for model years 2002–2011. Actual longevity of any car will vary based upon operating conditions.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS airbags) affords the driver and passenger additional protection in some collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment. The combination of SRS and seatbelts provides the best protection in a serious accident.
