Subaru Forester 2022 STI Sport


On June 27, Subaru released the "STI Sport" grade, which will be added to the partially improved model of the "Forester" scheduled to be announced this summer, on a dedicated site

In this improvement, the "STI Sport" has been added to meet the needs for sportier and higher quality driving, even though it is an SUV. Equipped with a dedicated damper tuned by Subaru Tecnica International (STI), it has achieved handling and a high-quality ride like a sports sedan while being an SUV with a high center of gravity.

In addition, the exterior features glossy black parts to express the "quality and sportiness" of STI Sports. In the interior, there is a "high-quality space" wrapped in aged and deep Bordeaux x Nappa leather material.


The Forester, which announced the 5th generation in June 2018, has adopted packaging that balances ease of handling and room size, and easy-to-use equipment so that all passengers can share a pleasant and comfortable space. Expressing a design that feels the strength of an SUV. It is supplied internationally as a global strategic vehicle that is positioned as the most mass-market vehicle.

The STI Sport features the same CB18 1.8 litre turbocharged flat-four petrol engine as the Sport model. It outputs 177 PS (174 hp) from 5,200 to 5,600 rpm and 300 Nm from 1,600 to 3,600 rpm, with power being sent to all four wheels via a Lineartronic CVT and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system.
