The Forester shares its chassis with the new Impreza, boasting full-time four-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential, plus SI-Drive – which allows a choice of three different drivetrain modes. Power comes from two 2.0-litre flat four-cylinder ‘boxer’ petrol engines, with a diesel due in September. Prices start from £18,000.
