It seems big changes are coming to Subaru dealerships around Gulfport, MS, with the announcement that Subaru will be releasing a new wave of redesigned vehicles for 2016. The new models being teased are the BRZ, Crosstek, Crosstek Hybrid, WRX, Legacy, Impreza, Outback and the Forester. The 2016 Forester is one of the most hotly anticipated cars for the coming year and here's why.
New Engine Technology
An article on Automotive News describes the new generation of engine technology that would be used for the new line of vehicles. The 2016 Forester model will have two engine options: a 4-cylinder 2.5 liter boxer engine, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.5-litter boxer engine can produce 170 horsepower, and 174 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.0-litter turbocharged engine can reach 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
Exterior and Interior Redesign
Since being introduced in the market in 1997, Subaru's Forester series has gone through various redesigns both in its exterior and interior. The 2016 Forester model will continue to be a Crossover Utility Vehicle or CUV, which combines the features of an SUV and a station wagon, making it ideal for family use.
On the outside, the new Forester will have an elegant design, with HID lights on the front and back, a tough front bumper, modern 1.4 inch exhaust pipes, and five doors. The seven-seater interior is spacious enough for a comfy trip with the whole family. A lightweight steering wheel, navigation system, as well as some modern-looking sprint board buttons are just some of the model's most updated features.
Infotainment Feature Updates
For tech-lovers, the 2016 Forester is something to watch out for. According to Motor Trend, the new Forester will be the first Subaru car model to feature the latest Starlink system. The Starlink system is an infotainment system that gives the driver in-vehicle connectivity access. The latest update of the Starlink system includes built-in AT&T 4G LTE capabilities, as well as services like automatic collision notification, road assistance feature and stolen vehicle recovery. Users will also have access to entertainment apps like Pandora and iHeartRadio.
The 2016 Subaru Forester is truly something the entire family can look forward to. Be among the first to test drive it at a car dealership that offers a Subaru around Gulfport, MS, like Baldwin Subaru.
