The Forester's front and tail ends have been updated and the XT trim gains a torque vectoring system that acts on its brakes. Both engines are back: a 170-horsepower, 2.5-litre flat-four and, in the XT, a 250-horsepower, 2.0-litre engine—not too shabby! The manual transmission remains a given with the 2.5-litre, while the optional continuously variable automatic is compulsory with the XT. Obviously, all-wheel drive is standard.
