| Subaru's two decades of continual improvement has resulted in this unique, full time All Wheel Drive (AWD) system on the latest range of models. This world-leading technology improves handling in every manoeuvre from accelerating to cornering giving secure control under testing road conditions. The centre differential with either viscous coupling (manual models) or Active Torque Split (automatics) ensure that power is always transferred from wheels that slip to wheels that grip. |

Subaru's AWD System (side-view)
By viewing the horizontally-opposed engine and the AWD system from the side, you will notice that the engine is mounted in front, and that its position is extremely low. For this reason, the centre of gravity is kept low and superb running stability is provided. |

While World Rally Championship success has underlined Subaru's pre-eminence in AWD technology in recent years, advancing that technology has been a continuing Subaru commitment for more than two decades. The result is a unique full-time All-Wheel Drive system true to the tradition of rally winning cars, that gives Forester clear advantages over other recreational vehicles. |
