Now let’s go to Engine;
Many versions in the generations of Subaru Forester use 2.0 L (CC 2000) and 2.5L (CC 2500) Engines where some use Petrol and others use Diesel. Many users complain that the old versions with 2.5L engines use too much oil. Average fuel consumption is 11-16 km per 1 liter depending on the version you choose.

Also, all versions use the AWD system where the engine drives all 4 wheels from the start of the journey, making the car very powerful and capable of handling various types of roads in any season.

There are also versions with a turbo which makes the car more powerful and faster but the fuel consumption is also high.
