Subaru: Forester offers even more safety
IMPROVEMENTS IN DETAIL With the enhanced Eyesight driver assistance system, additional features, and sharpened design and improved equipment, the Subaru Forester has become even more attractive in the new model year.
In the revised Eyesight assistance system, the stereo camera has been mounted directly on the windshield without any gaps. As a result, it is better protected and has an enlarged detection range.
Emergency Brake Assist thus detects potential hazards earlier and can warn accordingly. The new evasion assistant provides steering assistance to drive past obstacles and thus avoid accidents or minimize their consequences.
Advanced all-wheel drive management X-Mode
The new roadside detection also detects grass verges and lane boundaries, and the steering assistance system intervenes to correct the situation.
The standard Eyesight system is complemented by adaptive distance and speed control. Additional safety is provided by the advanced all-wheel drive management system X-Mode: as soon as this off-road driving aid is activated by the driver, it regulates engagement and disengagement automatically.
Radiator grille, bumpers and LED turn signals
In addition to the safety improvements, the Forester, which is equipped with the e-Boxer hybrid (150 hp plus 12 kW from the electric motor), benefits above all from a visual polish.
The front end features a redesigned radiator grille, bumpers and LED turn signals. The door handles are painted in body color, while the roof rails are set off in silver.
New wheels and three additional exterior colors complete the facelift. The interior is highlighted by brighter LED lighting.
Gesture control regulates the air conditioning
The Forester is the first Subaru to feature gesture control for climate control on the Swiss Plus, Sport and Luxury trim levels.
If the open hand is held in front of the infrared sensor of the fatigue alarm for around one second, the temperature is increased by two degrees Celsius. A fist lowers the temperature.
Additional luggage compartment hooks, an auto-dimming interior mirror and leather seats in brown or black for the top model complete the 2022 innovations. The price list starts at 38,950 Swiss francs.
