Subaru can add yet another accolade to the 2014 Forester’s
long list of awards. Motor Trend has
now named the 2014 Forester the best SUV of the year.
It is a high high honor but is well deserved. The Subaru Forester is the only SUV to have done it three times. Motor Trend ranked SUVs based on these qualities:
- value
- safety
- efficiency
- advancement in design
- engineering excellence
- performance of intended function
Since the redesign, Subaru’s Forester brings a lot to the table at an affordable price, says Motor Trend, in a spacious, well-designed package. There are 7 standard airbags, which exceed many other SUVs in the same class, as well as the revolutionary Eye Sight system. As a reminder, the Eye Sight system was the only anti-collision system that successfully stopped the vehicle at all tested speeds in the IIHS ratings and the 2014 Forester was a Top Pick Plus for best in class safety. Motor Trend editors loved the low sill height of windows that allow for a safer driving experience that doesn’t sacrifice safety engineering or driving quality.
Subaru added a lot of new features in the 2014 Forester, including a more spacious cabin that doesn't increase the overall size of the vehicle, which shows an efficiency of design not seen in other vehicles. Editors at Motor Trend loved the practicality of the 2014 Subaru Forester as well as its honesty at getting the job done as intended. With a high ground clearance and a great off-road system, the Motor Trend editors found that the 2014 Subaru Forester could do just about anything required of it.
Energy efficiency is also at a high in the Forester because
of the Boxer engine and CVT transmission system that Motor Trend editors said was a lot of fun to drive. It can easily
be compared to Porsche’s CVT system because of the way Subaru tuned the system
to capture a fun driving experience.
