Subaru New Zealand is releasing a limited-edition Forester Luxury model with the all-wheel-drive SUV getting a $4000 price cut from the standard version.

Arriving in New Zealand in November, the All-Wheel Drive Subaru Forester Luxury will add leather upholstery and interior to the Forester.

Normally priced at $48,990, a limited number of 18 Forester Luxury SUVs will be available at selected Authorised Subaru Centres for a special driveaway price of $44,990, says the Japanese brand.

General Manager at Subaru of New Zealand Tim Barns-Lawton says: “The Subaru Forester has consistently been among the top-selling Subaru models in New Zealand. Our durable, mid-size 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.”

This special edition Forester combines its stylish looks with the power of Subaru’s 2.5L Boxer engine and legendary All-Wheel Drive engineering prowess. 

Designed to turn heads in the city, while navigating the rugged demands of our wild backcountry, Forester Luxury deftly steps between urban duties and off-the-beaten track explorations, says Subaru.
