Motor Image Malaysia has begun accepting registrations of interest for the Subaru Forester GT Wild Lite, a new edition of the facelifted SUV that was launched in May last year. According to the official website, the GT Wild Lite comes with an accessory kit which makes it stand out compared to other variants of the Forester.
The kit will only be installed at selected dealerships and includes a distinctive decal of a mountain range, an anti-glare hood decal as well as new alloy wheels featuring a ‘GT’ centre cap and Yokohama Geolander tyres.
As for the rest of the SUV, it gets the same specifications and equipment as the 2.0i-S variants of the Forester range. Under the bonnet is a 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated flat-four petrol engine making 156 PS and 196 Nm of torque, paired with a Lineartronic CVT and Symmetrical All-wheel Drive system.
The GT Wild Lite gets Subaru’s SI-Drive drive mode selector as well as the Special X-Mode, the latter with a deep snow/mud mode in addition to snow/dirt. The EyeSight 4.0 suite of driver assistance systems is also listed and includes pre-collision braking, autonomous emergency steering, adaptive cruise control, lane centering and lane departure prevention.
No mention of pricing for now but the GT Wild Lite should slot between the current Forester range that currently retails from RM163,000 to RM185,500 on-the-road without insurance. If you’re interested, you can register your interest now.

Subaru = Nissan (Motor Image = Tan Chong). Both companies are LP = PL which always offer body kits and accessories to sell off their slow selling or obsolete models. It’s obvious since both company’s Directors and Top Management are related.
And they’ve been running both brands to the ground by implementing tasteless bodykits and decals, or tasteless design variants. For example, they felt that the previous Teana looked better with the awful chrome grill rather than the newer V-motion grill. And they think those awful tacked-on GT Line bodykits made Subarus look sportier. Unfortunately for them this is Malaysia and not mainland China, and nobody took the bait.
Oh, this is so freaking true. I heard the SG management team is a bunch of useless people that micromanage the whole Subaru spec which is no on par with other brands. They should learn from the US or listen to the Japanese. Really typical Singaporean with high ego, that’s Tan Chong i believe.
Where the F is crosstrek?!
decals? that is so old fasion
reminds me of those days proton wira and iswara with stripes decals…
i bought a wira and opt to have no decals/stripes
Run by MI Ah Beng… Looks like Ah Beng
Insider news, the price of this is the same with GT Lite. Literally, this Wilderness is nothing much of just plain stickers and minor upgrade that not sure if it’s really worth that price. To compare with the US wilderness, this is like a loser version of it, and looks like wanted to clear stock of the lower spec.
Didn’t expect a riced SUV straight from the factory. Bro in Subaru took the “stickers add 10hp” meme seriously.
Why bother? Any 1.5T car can cucuk and tapau this boring NA engine with zero added horsepower decals
