Subaru has plugged a gap between mainstream variants of its popular Forester and Outback crossovers with a pair of special edition models.
Based on their respective entry-level models, the 2024 Subaru Forester 2.5i Luxury AWD Special Edition and 2024 Subaru Outback AWD Premium Special Edition are designed to provide additional value with more standard features for a slight price premium.
The Forester Special Edition is just $1000 more expensive (at $39,690 plus on-roads) than the base-level 2.5i AWD but adds black leather upholstery as well as a host of features from the higher-grade 2.5i-S, including a premium dashboard, centre console and higher-quality materials on the door trim.
It still retains key features such as 17-inch alloy wheels, X-Mode all-wheel drive, keyless start, dual-zone climate control, an 8.0-inch centre display with smartphone mirroring and a six-speaker sound system.
It’s a similar story with the Outback, except the Premium Special Edition is priced $3500 higher than the eponymous base model (at $47,190 plus on-roads) because it adds higher-grade Nappa leather seat upholstery, heated front and rear outboard seats, sat-nav and a hands-free powered tailgate.
Other kit highlights include an 11.6-inch portrait infotainment system, dual-mode X-Mode, 18-inch alloys, self-levelling LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, smartphone mirroring, six-speaker sound system, keyless entry/start, digital radio and Bluetooth.
No changes have been made to the 2.5-litre flat four-cylinder petrol engine powering either model, nor their symmetrical all-wheel-drive systems or continuously variable transmissions.
“We are delighted to introduce these two special editions which build on the already incredible value these two models represent and offer our customers more options to choose from,” said newly appointed Subaru Australia general manager Scott Lawrence.
Both new special editions are now available in limited quantities via Subaru’s national dealer network.
