The 2011 Subaru Forester equipped with a completely new engine, in addition to upgrading the level of equipment for various equipment options.

Never make the mistake of asking a Subaru engineer, or even a Subaru car owners why they insist on the use of horizontal-cylinder engines – or opposed – under the hood of the car from Fuji Heavy Industries, Subaru production company set up. It takes patience to sit through the resulting explanation of the advantages of this configuration. There is a lower center of gravity, the lack of vibration, the extremely compact engine, just to name a few. And of course they are also the fact, and with good reason, these extremely thin engine slide under the car in a frontal collision, saving passengers from an engine break-in the passenger compartment. In addition, the Forester, like all Subarus, excellent front and side airbags safety assessments.

For 2011, Subaru engineers decided their key 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine upgrade. You do not necessarily make it stronger, as its capital remains unchanged at 170th Increased torque 170-174 ft.-lbs. You might think are that the upgrade offers little advantage, and they might as well keep the old version. But the changes, including lengthening the piston stroke and reduce the cylinder diameter to reduce vibrations, a more compact combustion chamber and the optimization of the combustion of fuel. Like the previous version of this engine in the factory coupled with a standard five-speed manual transmission and a six-speed automatic transmission is optional.
