The 2018 Subaru Forester was earlier designed in 2014. After this launch, the model grew to compete as a compact SUV directly with cars such as Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The 2018 Forester came with Active torque vectoring, a feature that manipulates the AWD system to handle better. This feature was standard on the 2.0-litre touring models, however, all new Forester models from 2019 are fitted with an ATV.
