The Subaru Forester will add an efficient diesel engine to
the range in early June, with the launch of the Subaru Forester 2.0D.
Subaru has confirmed there will be two diesel variants, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Forester 2.0D
and 2.0D Premium.
Nick Senior, Subaru Managing Director, said: “Given the level of customer enquiry so far, we
anticipate substantial demand for Forester diesels. We expect supply to be quite tight and on that basis
our network is now taking orders, to avoid customer disappointment.”
“We thank customers for their patience and based on the huge response we’ve had to our Outback
diesels, we’re gearing up for significant orders.”
Mr Senior confirmed the Forester 2.0D will be equipped with the same turbo diesel engine as the Outback
2.0D, producing 110 Kilowatts of power at 3,600 rpm and 350 Newtonmetres of torque between 1,800 and 2,400
rpm.

All variants will have a six speed manual transmission.
The Subaru Forester 2.0D will feature cloth trim, 16 inch alloy wheels, leather gear shift, front fog
lights, climate control air conditioning, self-levelling rear suspension, a flip-out rear tray and
colour-coordinated door handles.
Subaru Forester 2.0D Premium adds 17 inch alloy wheels, leather trim, power driver’s seat, upgraded
audio, HID headlights and a sunroof.
As with every vehicle in the Subaru range, Forester 2.0D variants will have a five-star crashworthiness
rating for occupant safety from the independent Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP). Every
new Subaru features dual front, side and curtain airbags, plus Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic
stability system.
Pricing will be announced at a later date.
