For the Chinese, "Subaru" is a relatively awkward car brand, of course, this is from the customer's point of view, after all, whether in the richness of the product or in the degree of product publicity, Subaru can not compete with the competitors! If from the manufacturer's point of view, it is more normal, after all, Subaru's main market is North America, not China! Perhaps it is the continuous growth of the Chinese market in recent years that subaru has the intention of attaching importance to the Chinese market, so at this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Subaru officially launched the 2022 "Forester" in the world, and accompanied by a variety of benefits for the new car!
The changes in the front face of the forester in 2022 are relatively obvious. Among them, the new headlight group adopts a new irregular shape, and the C-shaped LED daytime running light strip is also more three-dimensional. At the same time, the interior details of the new front grille have been adjusted, and the shape of the fog light area on both sides of the front bumper has been updated.
Looking into the car, the overall structure of the interior of the 2022 Forester has not changed much. But at least its optimized combination of physical buttons and embedded central control large screen can make it not look messy and more attractive. In addition, the new car will also be upgraded to the EyeSight driver assistance system, and will be equipped with seat heating, pedestrian protection airbags, and electric trunks.
The side parts of the body, the new car is almost impossible to see the adjustment. Of course, after all, its original line outline is relatively clear, and the design of the integrated front and rear eyebrows and side skirts can also show some hard colors.
At the spatial level, the 2022 Forester is 4655/1815/1730mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2670mm. Compared with the old models, basically no adjustments have been made. Of course, after all, the wheelbase is still 2 meters 67 level, if you really want to talk about the internal space, it should be relatively enough.
The side and rear part of the new Forester still continue the design style of the current model on sale. However, details such as side skirts and rear surrounds have been fine-tuned to make their visuals more refined, and rim styles offer at least five different designs to choose from.
In terms of powertrain, the new car will continue to use the current 2.0-liter hybrid system and 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine as the main configuration, the transmission system is matched with the CVT induction gearbox, and the four-wheel drive system is standard. In addition, the new Subaru Forester will also be available with a 1.8T turbocharged horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine.
The Subaru Forester positions itself as a compact SUV and is one of the few pure imported models in this class. In this class of products, models with similar displacement and four-wheel drive systems have basically adopted the strategy of "marriage" in China to reduce manufacturing costs and enhance product competitiveness. However, Subaru has so far struggled in the Chinese market with the fans' feelings for the brand and the unique horizontally opposed engine technology in the price point.
