Six months has had to wait for the Subaru Forester to dispose of the new diesel engine. In return they have had the patience have her Boxer Diesel engine connected to the new gearbox six marches that has been presented for the first time in the SUV from Subaru.
With this new engine, the Subaru Forester is now presenting an improvement in their qualities of economy of consumption and autonomy in road, to be sure, will be positively valued by those who give up until the date of acquisition, precisely because of the absence of a variant Diesel .
The propeller mounted that is the same as the one presented six months ago in the Legacy and Outback ranges, with some slight modifications that affect mainly the particulate filter. This time is sort of semi-enclosed front of the assembled Legacy and Outback.
The main difference Subaru Forester is that in the filter system closed the particles are burned when the filter is about to be filled completely, while in the semi-combustion of these particles is carried out steadily. In practice it is much more effective system to obtain closed lower emissions, which is why in the short term, this type of filter will join their brothers brand. In any case this does not change substantially the mechanical behavior of the Subaru Forester.
The four-cylinder boxer has its principal virtue in the low consumption offered on the open road. Far from going into the “war” of powers that seems to have broken out among many manufacturers, Subaru has opted for consistency, that is, if the client looks for the economy in a Diesel consumption, there is not much sense to condition the economy with engines more than 200 hp, which always consume more. The nominal figures are not, therefore, very spectacular Subaru Forester .
The nearly 150 HP announced at this time allow the Subaru Forester move with ease on the road and have a good response system medium. The moderate speed where you get the maximum power that does not use the margin is very broad and is reduced to the 1,600 laps ranging from 2000 to 3600 rpm at which the maximum power is achieved Subaru Forester .
However, there is no reproach to make significant in terms of mechanical behavior. Touch is very similar to a naturally aspirated engine with a very linear response throughout the range of use. Another remarkable aspect is its lack of vibrations and low sound. The balance of the boxer is excellent for its configuration which avoids the use of trees contrarrotantes, which joined the hydraulic engine mounts to foster an excellent quality and smoothness of operation Subaru Forester .
The new gearbox Subaru Forester allows for a six-speed sequencing of more effective relations of transmission. The first, second, fourth and fifth gear that had the same box of five marches that assemble the Outback and Legacy, but to mount a short few developments have somewhat shorter in the lower gears and a sixth longer than that the fifth of his brothers. The advantages are obvious, especially for an SUV is that the first and shortest job helps remove the clutch in certain circumstances, the sixth and eventually allows the engine revolutions to move to lower speed equal to what benefits the consumer on the road.
In this variant Subaru Forester with diesel engine has been dispensed with the reductive, a very handy for driving off-road
However, unless we have missed a detail that we always liked and that Subaru has inexplicably rejected in diesel versions Subaru Forester . This is the reductive, with a slight reduction 1,2:1 allowed us to have two boxes and change into one. For a mountain or to move around the countryside and one for the road, highway or freeway. In the same way that we have waited six months for the box of six marches, we are confident that sooner or later those responsible for the brand re-evaluate the use of such useful reductive that it kept the petrol versions with manual shift and bodywork SW Subaru Forester .

The new gearbox was not a problem to introduce it after the engine and that is that the casing is exactly the same size as the five marches. In addition, it has used a system of WHEELHOUSE cable with a counterweight in the gear that enables one hand, eliminate vibration in the absence of a rigid connection between the change and the lever, and on the other hand, has been optimized precision in the insertion of the marches Subaru Forester . The lever now has a nice touch metal, but it still shows something about long walks. The use of helical gears helps reduce the rumors.
The Subaru Forester has been marketed since the same month of September, with four variants of equipment ranging from the Classic, for 28,900 euros, with up to the Navigator Plus Limited for which we must pay 34,150 euros.

The range of Subaru Forester will be extended from September with the addition of mechanics Boxer Diesel. In this way, is the third model of the Japanese manufacturer, which assembles this propellant (the Legacy and Outback are the first).
Although not formally presented until the Oct. 2 at the Salon International de l’Automobile in Paris, a little earlier, in September, has already been started marketing the Subaru Forester Boxer Diesel. If we compare with their rivals SUV with a diesel mechanics, the Japanese model is the least heavy with 1540 kg (its variant of gasoline weighs 1475 kilograms).
The Boxer Diesel engine already assembled the Legacy and Outback; in September, the Subaru Forester.

Combined with the Boxer Diesel engine displacement of 2.0 liters and 147 hp, the Subaru Forester has an average fuel consumption of 6.3 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 167 g / km. Mounted, in addition, the traction system integral permanent Symmetrical AWD. In areas with large orographic difficulties, the Subaru Forester can use a box with a lowering of gear for almost 30 percent that allow you to penetrate with great reliability.
The base level of equipment with which it will sell the Subaru Forester Boxer Diesel will be the Classic, at a price of 28,900 euros. In finishing this includes the following elements: xenon lights, fog lights, adaptive cruise control, alloy wheels, 16 inches, heated seats and stability control. This model will be marketed also finished with the Limited and Limited Plus.
