Subaru of New Zealand has rolled out a fresh addition to its Forester lineup with the limited edition Forester Luxury, bringing a refined interior package to a rugged SUV staple.
With only 18 units available, this model combines the familiar all-wheel drive reliability of the Forester with added interior comforts for Kiwi drivers seeking versatility with a touch of refinement.
Set to arrive in November 2024, the Forester Luxury introduces premium finishes, upgrading the interior with black leather-trimmed seats and refined dash, door and console accents.
It’s available in seven distinctive colours, including Crystal White Pearl, Autumn Green Metallic, and Offshore Blue Metallic, blending a stylish appeal with the Forester's practical, everyday usability.
Fitted with Subaru’s 2.5-litre Boxer engine and signature all-wheel drive, the Forester Luxury is as capable off the beaten track as it is on city streets, bridging urban needs with outdoor readiness. The power plant delivers 136kW/239Nm.
Subaru has announced a driveaway price of $44,990, which includes all on-road costs - a markdown from its usual retail price of $48,990.
This limited-time offer aims to make the Forester Luxury an attractive option for those looking to get a bit more from their SUV.
“The Subaru Forester has consistently been among the top-selling Subaru models in New Zealand,” notes Tim Barns-Lawton, Subaru of New Zealand’s General Manager.
“Our durable, midsize SUV has captivated consumers with its exceptional driving dynamics, advanced infotainment technology, comprehensive safety features, high ground clearance and overall driver comfort. We are pleased to introduce this special edition Luxury model which builds on the already incredible value the Subaru Forester represents for our Kiwi customers.”
With the short supply of just 18 units, Subaru expects these to move quickly. Interested buyers should head to an authorised Subaru Centre to secure their limited-edition Forester units.
