With this height, the new Forester no longer has a style of bodywork next to a car, but to an SUV. In fact, it has a height similar to that of an Opel Antara or Citroën C-Crosser, but fails to go as high as other SUVs of its length, such as the Land Rover Freelander or the Honda CR-V.

The provision mechanics of the new Forester is the hallmark of Subaru: all have permanent total traction motors and type bóxer longitudinally arranged ahead of the front axle (image). Subaru refers to this system as “symmetrical” to distinguish it from the SUV, but have a transverse engine (at the side), or what have longitudinal but with a forward lateral from the gearbox to the front differential (image) .

The front suspension is still kind of McPherson.
