Subaru has teased a new car for the LA Motor Show this month and Auto Express understands this new model is the next generation Subaru Forester.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just last year we saw Subaru announce it will be bringing a new Impreza to the LA Motor Show and now it\u2019s the turn of its family-friendly SUV. We previously saw a close up of the wheel and Subaru now says an \u201call-new fully redesigned vehicle will make its global debut on November 16\u201d. The Japanese firm also said the car would have \u201cupgraded safety and exciting new features\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The current fifth-generation Forester was launched back in 2019 so this all-new model comes fairly soon in car life cycle terms, as a result we don\u2019t expect to see it arrive in the UK until the end of 2024 at the earliest – especially given that the current car was given a facelift earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We may see an entirely new powertrain arrive on the upcoming Forester. With the brand strengthening ties to Toyota, the existing 2.0-litre, four-cylinder boxer hybrid unit may be replaced for a Toyota powertrain. Such a move would most likely result in improved efficiency and performance. It\u2019s possible we could see a variant of the Subaru 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 coupes.<\/p>\n
The existing Forester is priced from \u00a337,990, undercutting many of its rivals such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V and we expect a marginal price increase with the new model.<\/p>\n
