Ford, Toyota, and VW SUVs you can get for the price of a new Subaru Forester

Subaru recently updated their best-selling model, the Forester.

It is a capable SUV that is well-known for its off-roading capabilities and safety levels.

The newest generation now adds a more powerful engine and a new trim-line to the model range, to make its value offering even more attractive.

At the top end of the range there is the Subaru Forester 2.5i-S ES CVT with 136kW of power – at a price of R629,000.

This price puts the Forester in a very competitive segment, and opens it up to competitors from the country’s top brands like Ford, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

These brands sell many more vehicles on a yearly basis and have large dealer networks in the country – making them popular among local car buyers.

They also make reliable and capable SUVs that can rival the Subaru in many situations.
