1999–2001 Subaru Forester S-turbo Specs & Performance

The Subaru Forester S-turbo combines the everyday practicality of a compact SUV with the character of a turbocharged powertrain. Its upright profile, five-door body, and spacious cabin make it suitable for family use and daily journeys, while the all-wheel-drive layout reflects Subaru’s emphasis on traction and control. Seating for five adds passenger flexibility, and the 14.3–53.9 cubic feet of listed luggage space allows the cargo area to adapt to different loads. MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear setup give the chassis a distinct front-to-rear arrangement.

For the 1999–2001 model range, the Forester S-turbo uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four engine producing 168 hp at 5,600 rpm and 177 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm. Buyers could choose a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission, with both options driving all four wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 123 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 8.1 seconds. With a curb weight of 3,395 lbs, it combines turbocharged performance with the versatility expected of a compact SUV.
