Subaru has updated the Forester SUV which is now available in the UK with the latest mild-hybrid tech. The Forester e-Boxer mild-hybrid will be available in two variants, XE and XE Premium. Prices start at £33,995 for the XE and £36,995 for the XE Premium. Key highlights for the entry-level XE are LED headlights, fog lights, side view monitoring, keyless entry, and even a driver monitoring system.

The pricer XE Premium, as the name suggests, comes equipped with simply more stuff. Leather interior, power tailgate, rear privacy glass, 18-inch wheels. And even a heated steering wheel, an option often associated with high-end premium cars.


Permanent AWD is standard for both variants. The X-Mode functionality takes control of the engine, transmission, Symmetrical AWD, brakes during off-road situations.

When X-Mode is activated, Hill Descent Control will maintain a constant speed when traveling downhill, allowing the driver to control the steering and Hill Descent Control to manage the brakes.
