The Subaru Forester was first launched in February 1997. The Forester combines the characteristics of multi-purpose vehicles and buses. If modern concepts are quoted, it is a “crossover” model. The Forester’s chassis was borrowed from the 1993 Subaru Regis and transplanted to the Forester. This classic chassis has a reduced wheelbase and increased ground clearance, but the full-time four-wheel drive and horizontally opposed engines have not changed. Therefore, the Forester not only has excellent performance in harsh road conditions and the high driving position required by utility sports vehicles (SUVs), it also provides drivers with pleasant driving comfort.
The 2009 Forester is equipped with a high-brightness LED headlight combination to provide better line of sight lighting for drivers. Compared with the 2009 Forester models sold in Japan, although this 2009 Forester model introduced in China is not equipped with auxiliary reversing mirrors, configurations such as headlight cleaning function and water-repellent rearview mirrors still allow drivers to feel this. The humane care of the car. Compared with the previous generation model, the 2009 Forester has completely changed its image and has a more fashionable and dynamic appearance. The originally relatively tough appearance has also become relatively peaceful. The tail design of this new car is simple and practical. A few simple and tough hook lines outline the entire tail design. High-brightness LED taillights have good visibility at night, providing safety protection. Boneless rear wipers, aerodynamic spoiler on the roof and chrome exhaust pipes reflect the traditional sporty temperament of the Subaru family.
