The beloved Forester line-up just got sportier with the introduction of the STI Sport AWD edition
Subaru Australia is thrilled to introduce the Forester STI Sport AWD special edition, adding a sportier edge to the Forester range for a limited time.
Set to arrive late September, the STI Sport AWD edition boosts the mid-size Subaru SUV package with a host of unique styling elements and precision suspension tuning by Subaru Tecnica International (STI) – the team renowned for over a decade of World Rally Championship success.
Equipped with STI-tuned front and rear dampers and Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, the Forester STI Sport AWD delivers elevated handling for a sharper, more responsive driving experience. The suspension, meticulously retuned by STI engineers, enhances control, stability and balance, helping enrich driving dynamics and offering a more spirited and engaging journey.
Externally, the Forester STI Sport AWD stands out with dark grey, high-lustre 18-inch alloy wheels, a black front grille, Crystal Black side and rear garnishes, black door mirror caps, roof rails, fog light garnishes and front and rear under guards, along with the iconic STI badge.
Inside, a striking Black & Bordeaux colour scheme has been utilised for the Nappa leather-accented seats, door trim, centre console and instrument panel. The STI-branded instrument cluster and red stitching on the steering wheel and instrument panel add to the sporty feel.
The STI Sport AWD continues the legacy of the Forester as an all-around performer, engineered for adventure and built to meet the diverse needs of Australian drivers. With production strictly limited, this special edition is set to become a collector’s item for years to come.
