While crossovers are getting more and more girly these days, Subaru decided to maintain the aggressive and rugged looks of its Forester in the new version they are releasing in the United Kingdom. The 2016 Subaru Forester comes with fresh new looks and improved refinement, among other enhancements.

A new ‘wing’ motif grille mesh, new L-shaped chrome trim in the revised bumpers, revised ‘hawk-eye’ shape headlights and new LED combination lamps at the rear are among the highlights of the new 2016 Subaru Forester on the outside. Inside the cabin you get more soft-touch materials new piano black and metallic trim, higher-resolution TFT displays and new cloth and leather upholstery option as well as brown leather.

The Forester has changed a lot over the years, but many people still think of it as an agricultural compact SUV that is not very refined. That is not the case with the new model. It comes with better soundproofing and thicker glass for better NHV levels. The car is also pretty safe, what with new Adaptive Front Lighting System, Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control, and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

Going on sale next month in Britain, 2016 Subaru Forester pricing is unchanged over the last year’s model, starting from £25,495 for the 2.0i XE model and £26,995 for 2.0D XC models.
