Subaru recognized the emerging trend of crossover SUVs and decided to create the Forester — a blend of the Impreza and Legacy with higher ground clearance. They utilized the Impreza platform and the Legacy's robust 2.5-litre boxer engine. The Forester stood out with its low center of gravity and advanced off-road capabilities. The introduction of sport variations like the XT and XTI showcased Subaru's racing heritage. The Forester evolved into a true crossover SUV by its third generation, meeting consumer demands for comfort and utility. Regular maintenance, including using the recommended synthetic oil, is crucial for optimal performance of the Forester's boxer engine.
