offered on the previous Forester . This consists of a larger 2.5 litre Atkinson-cycle naturally-aspirated flat-four mated to two electric motors, these being a motor-generator that charges the 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery and a traction motor that provides motive power.
The motors, eCVT , front differential gear and electronically-controlled coupling are integrated into a single transaxle, routing both petrol and electric power to all four wheels and enabling the use of one or the other to drive the car, unlike the e-Boxer system. The car retains Subaru’s trademark symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, setting the Forester Hybrid apart from Toyota’s E-Four setup that adds a separate electric motor to turn the rear wheels.
The company also says the Forester Hybrid retains the standard model’s off-road prowess – besides the aforementioned AWD system, the car also features an impressive 220 mm in ground clearance and comes with dual-function X-Mode with hill descent control, torque vectoring by braking and Vehicle Dynamics Control.
Inside, you’ll find the same 11.6-inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but there’s a new 12.3-inch digital instrument display with hybrid-specific screens. Animal-free StarTex upholstery is available on select trim levels.
