The new 2019 Subaru Forester recently won the Stuff Motoring Top Medium SUV for 2018. The 2019 Subaru Forester was made available for purchase in New Zealand in August and has already proven to be a popular choice in the medium SUV segment. The annual Stuff Motoring awards saw the Forester win Top Medium SUV with Stuff commending the Forester’s versatility as a capable, family friendly and technologically advanced SUV.

The updates to this model include a host of new technology which has revolutionised the overall driving experience. Facial recognition comes as standard on all 2019 Foresters and is the first SUV with facial recognition software. The system will adjust the cabin to personal preferences based on who appears behind the wheel; changing seating & mirror positions and air conditioning settings on vehicle entry.

The vehicle was designed top to bottom to be family friendly. The interior of the Forester is spacious with more room in the back and 220mm of class-leading ground clearance. Safety features include the EyeSight active safety system that includes an array of driver-assist and collision avoidance technologies well-recognised as providing sure-footed stability on all surfaces.

The Sport Plus and Premium add even more safety technology like Reverse Automated Braking (RAB) and an industry-first feature called Driver Monitoring System (DMS), which uses the facial recognition software to prevent distracted driving. The Subaru Foresters all-wheel drive performance and off roading capabilities also make it much more capable off-road than your average family SUV. The Premium model sports the new dual-mode selector for Foresters X-Mode off road setting.

There are eight colours to choose from, including black silica, crystal white pearl, dark grey metallic, ice silver metallic, jasper green metallic, horizon blue pearl, sepia bronze metallic and crimson red pearl. The new Subaru Forester is now available to test drive at Armstrong Subaru - Armstrong Motor Group Lower Hutt and Armstrong Subaru - Armstrong Motor Group Christchurch, and for more information on Subaru new car sales, European car parts and new cars for sale please go to www.armstrongmotorgroup.com/ .
