An exploratory highway run brings mid-eights.

There is a lot of space, thanks to3 cm more step gained with the new SGP platform. The steering is full-bodied, even if a little light in some circumstances, becoming a little untruthful during the motorway speeds.Good comfort onboard, traveling soft and relaxed, pampered by the comfortable leather seats of the Premium set-up, top of the range.

The fifth-generation Subaru Forester, now on sale in the UK, is the first European Subaru to offer petrol-electric hybrid power. The new mild-hybrid Subaru Forester has been tasked with combating the SUV’s reputation for poor fuel economy.

While we certainly weren’t expecting a quicker Forester, perhaps it was measurably nicer to drive?On cold start-up, the 2.0-litre barks into life and settles into that 1800rpm high-idling din typical of Subaru’s boxer engines, in bold contrast to the way Toyota’s silent e-mode start-up Lift off on the move and much of the time the engine shuts down with its ‘sailing mode’ – a rolling stop-start function – where the driver’s screen proudly displays you’re driving ‘EV’. We drove it in prototype form at a proving ground earlier this year. That’s right, we will soon find the 2020...The 2018 WRX STI was released a few years ago.

The whole hybrid system shows a weight of about 110 kg on the scale, including the necessary cables and harnesses, arranged evenly on the car, which however marks a fairly low center of gravity, considering the overall height, thanks above all to the arrangement of the engine Boxer.During the short time together with the Subaru Forester e-Boxer, we had the opportunity to test its off-road skills on mud, white roads and paths with cobblestones and stones of various sizes, overcoming any obstacle with marked fluency. But when you compare the claimed fuel consumption of a regular Subaru Forester (7.4L/100km) to this 'e-Boxer' Hybrid S (6.7L/100km), there isn’t that much difference. Here are the best you can buy The Forester is a good height for young children to climb in and out of, and also lift things out of the boot without having to bend over too much (and possibly hurt your back). A closer look at the performance, charging and tech features of Volkswagen’s all-electric van Is this the right medium SUV for the times? I think the electric motor added agility and made the Forester feel more nimble than usual, so if anything it’s a benefit because of that.But how and when does the hybrid kick in?

The Forester’s official fuel economy figure is 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres, not much less than the regular petrol Forester… The navigation system with slightly outdated graphics and not easy to use is not exactly intuitive and fluid.The interior is well finished, it shows solidity, with leather on the door panel and soft plastics almost everywhere, well done. It just doesn’t much like the business of electron-only propulsion when the right foot is involved.

But who cares, right, when the A-game is efficiency and fuel economy?Claimed fuel savings over the Forester 2.5-litre are substantial: a huge 19 per cent improvement (It’ll run basic 91-octane, too.

It is very interesting topic to discuss about the Subaru’s first hybrid Forester fuel consumption or MPG if you will. It gets up hills quickly, there’s no issue with power as it has a 2.0-litre The steering is slightly stiff to turn but you get used to that the more you drive it and by the end of the week it felt normal to me. At $1.36 per litre (91RON NSW average at the time of writing), that 0.7L/100km advantage means you’d have to clock up around 320,000km in the Forester Hybrid L to achieve cost neutrality through fuel savings against the cheaper petrol L. Or 20,000km of regular driving use for 16 years. Combined WLTP fuel consumption is 8,1 litres per 100 km. Just looking at the official WLTP numbers, it seems that Subaru did not make super efficient car.

Fuel I use is 95 octane E10 (max 10% of ethanol). The e-boxer badges instead convey what's happening only to those in the know.We simply can’t find a reason why you’d opt for a hybrid Forester over the popular, more affordable, nicer driving and realistically no-less-ecocentric petrol version.

Personally I would like to see more of the electric motor in use but at least Subaru's headed in the right direction.
