The Subaru Forester is a small all-wheel drive station wagon using the Impreza platform, but has larger 2.5-liter horizontal four-cylinder engines from the Outback with 165 hp (123 kW) / 5600 rpm and 220 Nm / 4000 rpm of torque. In terms of size and price, the Forester intersects between the smaller Impreza and the larger Legacy. The car was targeted at the SUV / crossover market even when these terms were not even used. It combines the off-road features of an SUV with the handling characteristics of a passenger car. The automatic AWD transmission normally transmits 90% of the torque to the front wheels and 10% to the rear wheels. If the front wheels start to lose traction, the system automatically applies more force to the rear wheels and divides the torque by a ratio of 50-50. When accelerating or driving uphill, the transmission transmits torque back to the rear wheels. When braking or driving downhill, the weight of the vehicle shifts forward, so the torque is transmitted to the front wheels so that control of the vehicle is not lost.
