2018 Subaru Forester, Harrisonburg, VA

 What's New for the 2018 Subaru Forester?

Under the hood, the 2018 Subaru Forester retains the 2.5 L BOXER engine from the previous year. This naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine block is capable of generating up to 170 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0 L turbocharged BOXER engine also makes a solid comeback in the 2018 edition. This compact engine whips out 250 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Capable of creating an infinite number of gear combinations, the Lineartronic CVT (Continually Variable Transmission) is compatible with both engines. A fully-synchronized automatic transmission system with six speeds is available in some of the 2018 Forester trims. This classic transmission includes the Incline Start Assist technology, which provides stability on sloped roads. As expected, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard in this Subaru crossover SUV. This patented drivetrain can precisely split the torque output among the front and rear wheels in order to maximize traction on paved and rough roads. Additional directional stability is provided by the X-MODE technology that works in sync with the Active Torque Vectoring.

When it comes to active safety, the 2018 Forester has some minor changes in terms of availability. In the 2.5i Touring and 2.0XT Touring models, this signature package is now standard. In the previous year, the safety suite was optional in these particular trims. When it detects a risk of a forward crash, the Pre-Collision Braking System takes immediate action. The Adaptive Cruise Control can also prevent a high-speed collision with another car that's directly in front. Featuring the Sway Warning, the Lane Departure Warning promptly informs you of a dangerous drift out of a single lane. Additional assistance is provided by the Lane Keep Assist, which can calibrate the direction of the steering wheel. Although it's not part of the EyeSight system, the High Beam Assist is standard in the 2018 2.5i Touring and 2.0XT Touring editions. Both models also have the Reverse Automatic Braking, which helps you avoid an accident while backing up. This automatic braking system is linked to multiple sensors that are installed in the rear bumper. When it comes to passive safety, the 2018 Forester retains many features from the previous year. For example, the STARLINK Safety and Security suite offers convenient access to emergency services. With the push of a button, you can turn on the SOS Assistance function. Additionally, the Automatic Collision Notification comes on immediately after a crash.
