The sixth-generation Subaru Forester has been launched in Indonesia, where it is offered in a sole 2.5i-S EyeSight variant priced at 735.5 million rupiah (about RM190k).
That makes the latest Forester, which was first revealed back in November 2023, more expensive than the Mazda CX-5 (from 647.7 million rupiah or RM167k) but cheaper than the Honda HR-V (from 759 million rupiah or RM196k). As part of a GIIAS promo, the SUV is being offered at an introductory price of 695.5 million rupiah (RM180k).
In terms of specifications, the Forester is powered by a 2.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder boxer petrol engine making 185 PS (182 hp or 136 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 247 Nm of torque at 3,700 rpm. This is mated to a Lineartronic CVT and all-wheel drive system to enable a 0-100 km/h time of 9.7 seconds and top speed of 205 km/h.
Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, roof rails, a hands-free powered tailgate, a powered driver’s seat, a power-sliding glass roof, a wireless charger, dual-function X-Mode, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) as well as an 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. There’s also EyeSight hardware in the form of stereo cameras, a wide-angle monocular camera and radar sensors.
On the driver assistance front, the Forester comes equipped with LED cornering lights, steering-responsive headlamps, rear cross traffic alert, a multi-view rear-view camera, front and rear autonomous emergency braking, high beam assist, lane departure prevention, autonomous emergency steering, adaptive cruise control, lead vehicle start alert, lane centring control and pre-collision throttle management.
Buyers will have a choice of six exterior colours, including Crystal White Pearl, Crystal Black Silica, Daybreak Blue Pearl, Autumn Green Metallic, Brilliant Bronze Metallic and River Rock Pearl. Leather seats are standard and come in two colours, with black offered as standard. There’s also a brown option, although this requires the car be painted in Crystal Black Silica or Brilliant Bronze Metallic.

this new 2.5 subaru forester tak payah bawa ke malaysia kalau price more than rm170K..tak laku coz cannot lawan china pricing & other Japan brands
Subaru has it’s own fanbase and loyal customer. Never ever compare their symmetrical drive and boxer engine with CCP cars bloated with accessories. It’s not something even car journalist would ever do. Go and drive a Subaru, then you would know.
Stupid glenn tan ah chong really screw this brand up here
Just serviced my XV last month in Melaka, the service center charged rm5xx for normal service, but they didn’t even clean/blow the cabin and engine filters at all….good car but damn lousy services…that’s why I always believe car are spoilt by technicians
