It might be fun to wear a suit to go river rafting, a bowler’s hat to go diving, or a tiara to someone else’s wedding… And while we at Subaru balk at convention, we know that you could wear whatever you like, really, but what’s the point if it’s going to hinder you having the best experience, possible? So would you take a low-clearance coupé on a drive of the National Park Pass in Prince Albert or the Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape?
Why bother when you can take your Subaru Forester?!
Is the Subaru Forester built for adventures?
Like a duck is for water! Roomy, responsive, and with our winning safety and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD) guarantees, your Subaru Forester adventure is sure to take you places that memories are made of. The Subaru Forester has been confidently moved from its wagon design towards a crossover SUV and is now larger in nearly every dimension. And you know what that means, right? Much more cargo space — and comfort! This Forester is wider and longer than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase, more interior space, and a larger luggage compartment.
You will have no trouble packing all your adventure gear in any one of the four models available:
-
- Subaru Forester 2.0i-S CVT @ R486,000
- Subaru Forester0 2.0i-S ES CVT @ R564,000
- Subaru Forester 2.5 Sport ES CVT @ R599,000
- Subaru Forester 2.5i-S ES CVT @ R629,000
All models feature the newly-designed tailgate with its wider and higher opening, making both packing and unpacking an easier task than ever. Larger dimensions in the latest Forester mean you’re assured of ample leg room, shoulder room, and seated / hip room. All this makes for the best seat in the house while you wind your way through some of world’s most beautiful landscapes right here in South Africa. And of course, if you’re adventuring with just yourself and perhaps a significant other, you can collapse the redesigned split-folding rear seats, which create a flatter loading area and much more space.
While we’re on the topic of split-folding rear seats, let’s talk sleeping arrangements! Sure, hotels and B&Bs have their own allure, but some of you true-adventurers might be all-in on the kind of roadtrip that’s all-car — all the time. So if you’re doing some solo sojourning, you can enjoy your Subaru Forester adventure as both the mode to take you places — and where you sleep at night!
Subaru Forester Adventure Tips
How best to take an adventure with a Subaru Forester?
Safely, or course!
You will know by now that we at Subaru like to shake things up, so safety meets innovative tech when it comes to Subaru X Mode — a software program engineered to get you up and down vertiginous terrain.
When activated, X-Mode with Hill Descent Control takes command of the engine, transmission, SAWD, brakes and other components to provide the best traction and grip in difficult conditions. All you have to do is control the steering as normal and your Subaru Forester will control the rest: traction, speed and your safety!
When it comes to comfortable adventures, safety features, and peak performance, your Subaru Forester adventure is guaranteed to be one for the books!
Suits, bowler hats or tiaras are all welcome! Taking adventures alone or with the family is the only tough decision you’ll make when you’re doing it in your Subaru Forester.
