After being previewed over the weekend, Motor Image has officially launched the new Subaru Forester 2.0i-S in Malaysia, which is priced at RM133,818 on the road without insurance. Buyers will get to choose from five exterior body colours – Pure White, Silver Metallic, Dark Grey Metallic, Sepia Bronze Metallic and Obsidian Black Metallic
The equipment list of the new variant is largely similar to the 2.0i-P, meaning LED headlights (with LED DRLs), 17-inch wheels (with 225/60 tyres), dual-zone climate control system, powered rear liftgate and a 7-inch Kenwood touchscreen head-unit are all standard.
Also retained is the FB20 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated boxer four-cylinder petrol engine, which outputs 148 hp (150 PS) at 6,200 rpm and 198 Nm at 4,200 rpm. It is paired with a Lineartronic CVT and Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, the latter with a SI Drive Mode function.
What sets the 2.0i-S apart from the regular 2.0i-P however, is the various aesthetic add-ons. This includes an under spoiler (with gunmetal accents) for the bumpers, a different front grille design finished in black and gunmetal side mirrors.
As for the cabin, there is now faux carbon-fibre trim on the door cards, gear selector surround and dashboard. The seats are now upholstered in a combination of leather and suede (like the 2.0 XT), with red contrast stitching. A set of model-specific floor mats (with red piping) is also part of the styling package.

Well done Subaru! A high spec boxer 2.0 symmetrical AWD suv for less than RM140k. Not bad at all
According to EPF statistics, 78.3 percent of its contributors earn RM1500 and below.
So, how many Malaysians can really afford a car costing RM140k?
80% of Malaysians can only afford cars RM70k and below.
Hopefully, that segment of cars also drop in prices.
R u in the 78%?
The purchase price is enticing but what about the spare parts price and maintenance cost??? Most conti cars lure u to buy at a low price then only charge you right when you do r&m
unfortunately this car is not a conti car
No worry. 5 years warranty.
Kudos ETCM! More airbags than Xtrail
Subaru not ETCM, its Motor Image
Motor Image is owned by TCM.
Is ur siblings money & properties & others becomes urs to use freely and vice versa?
TC International & TCM are both different entities but family related. TC International own Motor Image not TCM.
Get your facts right
Thats the problem when bashers uses cave facts.
etcm or tcm or tc international so who cares??

Becoz of wrong pricing, this Forester gonna gather lots of dust in the showroom…..
Any downside of the boxer engine compared to regular config ones? Maintenance cost, availability of service network, ease of service, long-term fuel consumption etc?
Again subaru price reduce just like that, i really really pity present owner of subaru, no need to sell yr car cos it going to drop a lot. Shark fin aerial hemmm for a SUV cost about 140K should have it installed instead of cheap aerial type…..cut cost meh if not how to reduce price.
