Subaru has launched a special version of
the Forester in Germany, which is dubbed the Edition Sport40. Created to
celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary, it’s limited to 468 units and comes
from € 39,956.60 (US$ 47,246), including tax,
bringing colorful touches inside and out.
Setting it apart from the rest of the
lineup are the black radiator grille, fog lamp surrounds and roof rails,
contrasted the orange accents. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels finished in
Anthracite and can be ordered in the exclusive (for the model) Dark Blue Pearl
exterior paint finish.
Orange contrast stitching can be found
throughout the entire cockpit, from the leather-wrapped steering wheel and
gearshift lever, to the instrument panel and seats. The air vent surrounds have
the same finish and there is a special emblem present too, which reminds
occupants that they’re sitting in a limited edition of the Forester.
Based on the mid-spec Comfort, the
Forester Edition Sport40 is nicely equipped, with standard two-zone automatic
air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, electrically adjustable, folding and
heated side mirrors, heated steering wheel, 8-inch infotainment system, DAB+
radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation with free updates for three
years and reversing camera.
The Eyesight suite of driving aids is on
deck, with emergency braking, active lane departure warning, lane change
assist, blind spot assist, rear cross traffic assist, drowsiness detection system
and others. Power comes from the mild-hybrid 2.0-liter boxer engine that
produces 148 HP and 194 Nm of torque, and works
in conjunction with a CVT and all-wheel drive.
