Au aparut detalii despre motor. FA24
"2,387cc, rounded to 2.4-liters, with a 94-millimeter bore and an 86-millimeter stroke. The compression ratio sits at a tall 10.6:1, keeping cylinder pressures high for efficiency. Direct injection overcomes high cylinder pressures to deliver fuel to the cylinder before combustion sends exhaust gases through the low-lag twin-scroll turbocharger, which sends boost through an intercooler and back into the engine.
This action is good for 260-horsepower at 5,600 rpm, and a broad peak torque band of 277 pound-feet between 2,000 and 4,800 rpm."
"The engine was designed for torque, not horsepower," a Subaru spokesperson told The Drive, regarding the FA24's power output in the CVT-equipped Ascent. "It is as quick or quicker than the competition and quite good under full load."

Si mai vazusem pe un alt site ca pretul pentru varianta de baza o sa fie pe la 32k USD. Ce sa zic.. la noi nici Forester nu-ti iei de banii aia. Daca e asa, sunt sigur ca se va importa si in Europa, la fel cum s-a facut si cu Tribeca. Si fiind productie pentru SUA, clar va fi si de calitate.
