Under the Hood
Foresters are powered by a choice of naturally aspirated or turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines and either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The naturally aspirated engine is still 2.5 liters with 170 horsepower, which is the same as before, but it's a new engine that produces more torque (174 pounds-feet versus 170) and, Subaru says, is more economical.
The transmissions come with different all-wheel-drive systems. According to Subaru, the automatic comes with Variable Torque Management, which shifts power to the front and rear axles by monitoring throttle position, battery voltage, generator rpm, wheel speed, brake status, lateral g-force and automatic transmission fluid temperature. The manual Forester has a simple viscous coupling that's reactive rather than proactive. Mechanical features include:
* 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 174 pounds-feet of torque
