About the Subaru Forester SK
The fifth-generation Subaru Forester (SK) transitioned the model fully into the SUV segment, prioritising safety and utility over the performance-wagon roots of its predecessors. The e-Boxer powertrain introduced a mild-hybrid system to the signature longitudinal flat-four engine, paired with a permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. In XE Premium trim, the Forester offers a high level of standard equipment including a panoramic sunroof and leather upholstery. While not the fastest in its class, it remains a favourite for those requiring genuine off-road capability and a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
