New Subaru Forester, Crosstrek Whip Up Around The Globe

The all-new Forester and redesigned Crosstrek are two of Subaru’s hottest all-wheel-drive vehicles around the globe. Customers are snatching them up faster than some dealers can supply them and now the new Subaru Forester and Crosstrek are double winners in this year’s OzRoamer Car of the Year awards in Australia with both vehicles taking top honors in their respective categories.

The Subaru Crosstrek (XV in global markets) 2.0i-S has won the award for best All-Wheel-Drive SUV under $40,000 (Australian Dollar), for a second consecutive year, while the all-new Forester 2.5i-S has won the award for best All-wheel-Drive SUV in the $40,000-$50,000 price range. Both Crosstrek and Forester get recognized for their all-wheel-drive capability, improved ride quality, driving dynamics and their utility as an urban transport.

Subaru vehicles are no strangers to the OzRoamer Car of the Year awards. In 2016, the Subaru Outback 2.0D was named All-Wheel-Drive SUV $45,000-$60,000 in OzRoamer’s 2016 annual Car of the Year (COTY) awards.

Crosstrek gets another global award
