Subaru has announced pricing for its all-new 2009 Forester crossover. Despite its all-new design, the 2009 Forester will actually list for $1,085 less than the outgoing model — bringing the Forester’s base price to $20,660 including shipping.
The base model — dubbed X — will include a naturally aspirated 2.5L Boxer engine which can be had with a manual or automatic transmission.
In addition to the X, the naturally aspirated version will also include two other trim levels : the X with Premium Package and the L.L. Bean Edition. The X with Premium Package includes a sunroof, 17 inch wheels, steering wheel mounted audio controls, roof racks and reclining rear-seats — all for a starting price of $23,160. The L.L. Bean Edition — which lists for $26,660 — upgrades the X with Premium Package’s interior and adds a premium stereo system and a 10-way power driver’s seat.
Up-level models will add a turbocharger — brining total output to 224 horsepower — and can be had in either XT or XT Limited trim levels. The range-topping XT Limited will sticker from $28,860.
