Engine and Suspension
An SUV doesn’t have to drive like one. The remarkable agility of the
Subaru Forester begins with its smooth-revving SUBARU BOXER®
engine. A lower center of gravity means that while supplying clean
and efficient power, this engine design actually helps maintain vehicle
balance. Then there’s the 4-wheel independent suspension that helps
the Forester provide responsiveness and stability that drivers can feel.
