The Subaru Forester Cross Sports S Edition gives the practical compact SUV a more performance-oriented character. Its upright five-door body preserves the everyday usefulness of the Forester, while the turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive layout add a stronger sporting focus. The cabin accommodates five occupants, and the 13.7-cubic-foot luggage compartment provides space for daily essentials. MacPherson strut suspension at both ends supports a straightforward chassis setup, keeping the vehicle’s versatile SUV format central to its design.
For the 2006–2007 model range, the Cross Sports S Edition uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four engine producing 217 hp at 5,500 rpm and 228 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 137 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 6.6 seconds. With a curb weight of 3,219 lbs, it combines turbocharged performance with the everyday practicality expected of a compact SUV.
