2022 SUBARU FORESTER HYBRID S (AWD)

2022 Subaru Forester HYBRID S (AWD).

This 2022 Subaru Forester Hybrid S combines the practical strengths of a family-sized wagon with Subaru's hybrid petrol-electric drivetrain and permanent all-wheel-drive system. Its upright body, generous glasshouse and useful rear accommodation give it the everyday versatility expected of a Forester, while the hybrid system is listed with fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km.

The petrol-electric powertrain is paired with a continuously variable transmission, providing a straightforward and relaxed driving layout for urban travel and longer trips. Subaru's Symmetrical All Wheel Drive and X-Mode are included, giving the vehicle a traction-focused specification suited to changing road surfaces. The listing also identifies active torque split and active torque vectoring systems, which support the vehicle's all-wheel-drive capability.

Practicality is a clear focus. The four-door wagon body provides flexible access to the cabin and cargo area, while the split-folding rear seats, one-touch folding function, retractable cargo cover and tie-down hooks make it easier to adapt the load space. A power tailgate adds convenience when loading, and roof rails provide an additional platform for carrying equipment. Rear air vents, reclining rear seats, bottle holders and USB charging ports help make the cabin more accommodating for passengers.

The interior is finished in black and includes leather-accented upholstery, heated front seats and powered front seating. The driver's seat has eight-way adjustment and memory functionality, while both front seats are listed with powered adjustment. A leather steering wheel, leather gear selector, dual-zone automatic climate control and climate-control memory add useful comfort and convenience features. A power sunroof brings extra light into the cabin, and the auto-dimming rear-view mirror, heated mirrors and rain-sensing wipers are designed to reduce the effort involved in daily driving.

Connectivity and navigation are handled through an integrated infotainment system with an eight-inch touchscreen, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth audio streaming and digital radio. The system is supported by an eight-speaker sound system with subwoofer, while additional USB sockets and a 12-volt outlet provide charging flexibility. A reversing camera, front view monitor and side view monitor assist with visibility in tighter spaces.

Safety equipment is extensive. The vehicle is listed with a five-star ANCAP rating and includes Subaru EyeSight technology, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane-centering assistance, lane departure prevention, emergency lane keep assist and autonomous emergency steering. Blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert and reverse auto braking provide additional support around the vehicle. Driver monitoring, distraction and drowsiness warnings, facial recognition and a lead-vehicle start alert are also specified.

Exterior equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED front and rear lighting, LED fog lights, adaptive headlights, silver-finish roof rails, privacy glass and a rear spoiler. The Forester was built in Japan and has recorded 117,317 kilometres. Its listed specification makes it a well-equipped hybrid SUV-style wagon with a strong emphasis on cabin flexibility, all-weather traction, driver assistance and connected technology.
