Inovev forecasts 300,000 new Subaru Forester global sales yearly
- Subaru (18th world manufacturer in 2017) unveiled the new generation of the Forester SUV at the New York Auto show. This model has its highest sales in the United States (180,000 units sold in 2017 out of a total of 293,000 units produced). The Forester is also the manufacturer's best-selling model (27% of its total sales) and will be as previously exclusively manufactured in Japan (Yajima).
- This year’s launch is the fifth generation that succeeds the latest model released in 2012. Its design remains very close to that of the previous generation. The Forester therefore retains its traditional style that mixes SUV and elevated station wagon features . The real Subaru SUV is the Ascent that was introduced at the last Detroit Auto Show in January 2018.
- Developed on the new modular platform Subaru Global Platform (already used by the XV and Impreza, and soon by the future Legacy, Levorg and Outback), the new Forester is equipped for Europe with a diesel engine H4 2.0 LD developing 147hp and a 150 hp H4 2.0 L petrol engine; the USA will have only the H4 2.5 L gasoline engine developing 182hp. For reasons of emissions level, this engine will not be available in Europe.
- Inovev expects a global total of 300,000 sales per year from the new Forester.
