Standard all-wheel drive returns for 2014. Powering the base Forester is last year’s 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder teamed to a six-speed manual or continuously variable automatic transmission. Subaru estimates the 2.5-liter should see 24/32 mpg city/ highway, up from the 2013 model’s EPA rating of 21/27 mpg. The automaker says the new compact leads the segment in all-wheel-drive fuel economy.
The uplevel Forester 2.0XT uses a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder good for 250 hp, a step up from last year’s 2.5-liter turbo’s 224 hp; a CVT with a manual shift function is the sole transmission. Premium and Touring versions will be available starting at 28,820.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
