For years, the Subaru Forester has built a reputation as a dependable SUV for recreational activities as well as off-road adventures. Subaru set records in the US, their number one market globally, in large part due to the Forester's success. The 31.19 percent year-to-date sales growth does not entirely come as a surprise, considering that consumers are buying more of this all-wheel-drive SUV.
The new-gen Forester was rolled out in late 2014 to dealerships around Mississippi, such as those that sell Subaru near Gulfport, MS. The updated SUV boasts superior specs and features. It has Subaru's Symmetrical all-wheel drive, which has been tested in different conditions all over the world, such as mud, snow, and ice. It has the all-new X-Mode which, with a push of a button, allows you to take control of the engine, transmission, brakes, AWD, and other components to navigate through just about any road condition.
Most SUVs have a tall ride height, which means they have a very high center of gravity and, consequently, limited off-road maneuverability. In contrast, the Forester's boxer engine is positioned low in the chassis, which helps its ability to handle extreme trails.
Inside, the Forester offers plenty of leg room. Its tall roofline and low-rise load floor make way for ample storage space, especially when the split-folding rear seat is folded away. It also has great entertainment features such as a radio, CD player, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, an LCD monitor, and 4 speakers. An upgrade to the premium trim comes with heated front seats, a 10-way power driver's seat, and a rear-vision camera.
The Forester now comes with improved fuel efficiency, optimum traction, and added safety features. Standard features include Lineartronic continuously variable transmission and auto stop start, active torque split all-wheel drive, and aerodynamic efficiency, with a Cd of just 0.33. Each Forester now comes with seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag, to provided added protection in the event of a collision. You might want to head on over to a Gulfport, MS Subaru dealership, or one serving the Gulfport area, such as Baldwin Subaru. You can take a look at the amazing features and capabilities of the 2015 Forester for yourself.
