car_truckTurbocharged performance paired with full-time Subaru all-wheel drive defines this 2016 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Touring, delivering confident traction and brisk acceleration in a practical SUV package. Its 2.0L intercooled turbo H-4 engine produces an impressive 250 horsepower, managed by an 8-speed CVT with SI-DRIVE selectable transmission modes, giving you the flexibility to prioritize efficiency or responsiveness as road and weather conditions change.
This pre-owned Forester 2.0XT Touring shows 117,981 kilometres and is built around Subaru’s hallmark full-time AWD system with all-speed ABS and driveline traction control, hill descent control, and electronic stability control. Together with gas-pressurized shocks, sport ride suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars, and ventilated disc brakes at all four corners, it offers stable, predictable handling in city driving, on the highway, or through changing seasonal conditions.
Fuel economy is well balanced for a turbocharged SUV, with rated consumption of 10.2 L/100 km in the city and 8.5 L/100 km on the highway when using premium unleaded.
Inside, the Forester 2.0XT Touring combines functionality with comfort. Premium cloth upholstery, bucket front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with 8-way controls and 2-way power lumbar support help tailor your driving position. The front passenger receives 4-way manual adjustment, while the rear bench offers manual reclining capability and 60/40 folding seatbacks for flexible cargo and passenger configurations. Dual-zone automatic climate control, rear under-seat ducts, and a cabin air filter help maintain comfort for all occupants.
The panoramic-style, first and second-row sliding glass sunroof with sunshade brings natural light into the cabin and can be opened or closed with express operation.
Thoughtful interior touches include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather and metal-look gear shifter, chrome and metal-look accents throughout, and ambient lighting that enhances evening drives. Ample storage solutions are built in, such as driver and passenger door bins, seatback storage, a covered floor console, mini overhead console, cargo area concealed storage, tie-downs, and a roll-up cargo cover. The cargo area is protected by a vinyl/rubber mat and carpeted floor, with a cargo tray/organizer under the floor to keep smaller items in place.
Technology is centred around a 6.2-inch primary touchscreen display with AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, a 3-month satellite trial subscription, CD player, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, and Aha internet radio capability with app integration via STARLINK. With 6 speakers, a speed-sensitive volume feature, and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, access to media and calls stays convenient.
Voice-activated audio controls and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity further reduce distraction.
Safety is a core strength of this SUV, thanks to a comprehensive airbag suite that includes front, side, curtain, a driver’s knee airbag, and an airbag occupancy sensor. Anti-whiplash front head restraints, front and rear head restraints (with adjustable rear), and three rear headrests support occupant protection. The structure incorporates galvanized steel/aluminum body panels with side-impact beams, while four-channel ABS, brake assist, and all-speed traction control help during emergency manoeuvres. Rear child safety door locks and a rear centre 3-point seatbelt add further peace of mind for families. A rear-view camera supports easier parking and reversing.
Exterior design cues include 18 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, P225/55HR18 all-season tires, a rear lip spoiler, roof rails, deep-tint rear windows, and a monotone paint finish.
Body-coloured bumpers, mirrors, and door handles are contrasted by black bodyside cladding and trim. Halogen headlights with auto on/off, daytime running lights, front fog lights, and a high-mounted centre stop lamp ensure you remain visible. A power liftgate provides convenient access to the cargo area, while trunk/hatch auto-latching and remote keyfob keyless entry with trunk control simplify everyday use.
Everyday practicality is reinforced by three 12V power outlets, a USB port, auxiliary input, digital/analog instrumentation with trip computer and turbo boost gauge, ECO feedback display, and comprehensive warning indicators, including engine temperature, oil pressure, and battery alerts. Power windows (front one-touch up/down), power door locks with two-stage unlocking, heated power side mirrors, and keyfob panic and perimeter approach lighting all contribute to a user-friendly ownership experience.
This 2016 Subaru Forester 2.0XT Touring stands out as a capable, turbocharged all-wheel-drive SUV with a smart blend of performance, efficiency, comfort, and safety-focused engineering.
