Sales market: Japan. Right hand drive
Fourth Subaru generation Forester already bears little resemblance to the first Forester, which was released in 1996. Introduced at the 2012 Guangzhou Auto Show, the new Forester is even bigger. Given that the model was initially distinguished by high specific power, the developers had to fight for every kilogram of weight. Thanks to the use of new materials, technologies and design solutions, it was possible not only to keep the mass almost within the same limits, but at the same time to increase the rigidity of the body.
In Japan, the model went on sale in November 2012 - as usual, long before the start of global sales. If the basic equipment of 2.0i against the background of post-crisis progress is rather modest in terms of equipment, then, for example, the 2.0XT EyeSight package includes xenon headlights, front and rear fog lights, headlight washers, electric drive and heated front seats, aluminum wheel disks, factory tinted, cruise control and engine start button, lane departure warning system, rain sensors. As options: sunroof, roof rails, cameras - parking and rear view. The regular version is equipped with 17-inch wheels, for more expensive trim levels R18 alloy wheels are provided.
On the domestic market the model is offered with two types of horizontally opposed engines: the naturally aspirated FB20 with a capacity of 148 hp, tested on post-styled cars of the previous generation, and the turbocharged FA20 with a capacity of 280 hp. The latter deserves special interest - this is a new generation engine that uses a twin-scroll turbocharger with two gas channels - this allows the turbine to spin up efficiently at different speeds, which minimizes the so-called "turbolag", i.e. delay in increasing the speed when you press the pedal. At the same time, power also increases, and significantly. And of course, according to environmental standards, as well as consumption (7.6 liters in the combined cycle), this engine complies with the Japanese standard of 2015, which entails increased requirements for fuel - gasoline with an octane rating of at least 98 and of the appropriate quality.
The transmission is offered in two types: 6-speed manual or Lineartronic CVT, which has the ability to manually shift gears using the paddles on the steering wheel. Thanks to changes in the front suspension, in particular, a different setting, as well as a more powerful stabilizer (it has become 3 mm thicker) when changing lanes Forester is better keeps on the road. And in general, rolls in corners have decreased, the suspension has become stiffer, but at the same time it works out small bumps well. Permanent four-wheel drive, small approach and departure angles, as well as a high ground clearance of 225 mm (one of the highest in the class) allow the Lesnik owner to feel confident when driving over rough terrain. Among the shortcomings, one can note the short travel of the suspension, however, the rigid body easily forgives even diagonal hanging.
According to the test results according to the EuroNCAP methodology, the new Forester received 5 stars. In turn, the American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the crossover the highest rating for passenger protection - Top Safety Pick +. In fact, this is the twentieth car in the history of the IIHS, which receives the highest rating. Model showed excellent results in a frontal impact with both a 25% overlap on the driver's side and a 40% overlap, as well as in a side and rear collision and rollover.
The new generation with good reason refutes the opinion of pessimists who claim that the Forester is “not the same”. All the changes definitely benefited the car. It has become prettier, more powerful, more convenient, more economical and comfortable, and most importantly - safer than its predecessors. And according to the degree of its armament for safe attacks on nature, the Forester remains in its former advantageous positions today.

Subaru Forester SJ car is very strange, whatever one may say. The manufacturer at one time repeatedly stated that the exterior of the car would be aggressive, which is practically not noticeable in practice. The interior had to be ergonomically calculated, and the engine power had to be enough for the car to take off. In fact, not everything is as rosy as it sounded from the lips of the representative, but you fall in love with the car almost immediately and for a long time. Let's figure out what caused this very love?

The situation has evolved in recent years in such a way that most of the frame SUVs with each next update, they become more mundane and focused on the mass buyer, they become like crossovers, boring and unremarkable, except that the glory of the past still goes behind them. However, this is not all about the Subaru Forester. This car from the very beginning did not show itself as an all-terrain vehicle and did not constitute any competition to the same domestic UAZ. From the very first Subaru models Forester, which saw the light back in 1997, it was clear that the car itself is not proud and without "antlers", but if necessary, it can show its hidden features.
Forester's ground clearance was always increased, the drive, as usual with Subaru, was full and constant. Also, the body is somewhat larger than conventional station wagons. It seems to be not bad, but paired with engines, the minimum volume of which does not fall below the bar of 2 liters, it turns out to be a very sensible equipment.
After a couple of years, the second generation of a car that was very pleasantly accepted by the people saw the light, and then in 2007 the third generation followed, which became even better, without changing the traditions of its predecessors. The concept has changed somewhat in 2012, but the basis remains the same, the Subaru Forester is the same big station wagon with some off-road manners.
Even from the appearance of the car, it is noticeable that it can drive not only on a flat city road. No, the Subaru Forester SJ does not look too tall, but at the same time it has a significant ground clearance in 220 mm. Not just made and short overhangs. At the same time, a very long body, which is almost 4.6 meters, hides the height of the car very well, in addition, the Forester even has a very pretty and elegant, by the standards modern design, profile. aggression during appearance there is not much car, which is also more likely to benefit him.
It is also worth considering that for the test the car was chosen in one of the most common configurations and in terms of the interior, which we will now move on to inspect, only the leather interior can be noted from the bells and whistles, but it will not do without surprises.
Subaru Forester SJ interior design
The price of the Subaru Forester SJ is not small, it is an average of 1,950,000 rubles, while the car key is unremarkable.
Immediately upon landing in the salon, you pay attention to the fact that it is extremely comfortable. Everything seems to be banal simple, but not every crossover will allow you to sit in it and not get dirty on the doorway. In fact, the driver’s seat is just as simple, with a minimum of settings and even without much lateral support, but at the same time it is damn comfortable, and even there is heating available, in a far from the most sophisticated configuration. All other seats can boast of the same high-quality heating, taking into account the rear row. The heated steering wheel is another feature of the Subaru Forester SJ.
There are several screens on the front panel, even more than that, full-fledged three screens. What is surprising, if you remember the price of the car. For the first screen, which is located on the instrument panel, the tasks of partial duplication of on-board computer information are assigned. The other screen of the board computer is located in the center of the panel, on top, you will most likely need to get used to its location. Another display is responsible for the multimedia component, but already a little more. It's not bad in quality. Also worthy of praise is the high-quality sound coming from the numerous speakers.
Specifications Subaru Forester SJ
There is also no engine start button, you have to turn the key, we have become so lazy. It seems that the Forester is being presented as a purely family car, but it is very difficult to hide such a breed. The two-liter engine enters the operating mode immediately and at the same time there are no extraneous noises and unnecessary vibrations in the cabin. The motor cannot be called very outstanding, only 150 hp. with., aspirated and without even a hint of sportiness and aggressiveness. No less calm, but at the same time very high quality, the variator shows itself. The proprietary system has not gone anywhere either. all-wheel drive even in the most simple car configurations.
The review is simply excellent thanks to competent glazing. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is about 8 liters, if you save, you can bring down up to 6. Driving is extremely comfortable in every sense of the word. Engine power is more than enough, although it is not very sporty, but it is more than suitable for frisky overtaking.
Should I buy a Subaru Forester SJ?
For the money that will be forgiven for it - it's hard to find a car more thoughtful and balanced in terms of performance. It seems to be nothing out of the ordinary, and the price tag is not the cheapest, but everything you need is available and even in the simplest trim levels. In terms of driving, everything is also excellent. This car is one of those that you buy for the soul, you will definitely love it, and it will never disappoint.
