MSRP:$25,500 – $28,000
The Subaru Forester 2.0X LPG combines the everyday practicality of a compact SUV with a powertrain designed to run on liquefied petroleum gas. Its upright proportions and five-door layout provide convenient access to a cabin that accommodates five occupants, while the expandable luggage area makes room for different passenger and cargo needs. All-wheel drive adds traction across changing road conditions, and the naturally aspirated flat-four engine retains Subaru’s distinctive horizontally opposed configuration. Rather than emphasizing outright performance, this version focuses on practical family transport with an alternative-fuel setup.
For the 2009–2010 model range, the Forester 2.0X LPG uses a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre flat-four producing 148 hp at 6,000 rpm and 145 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm. Buyers can choose a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission, with both configurations driving all four wheels. AutoSpecsHub lists a top speed of 114 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 10.6 seconds. Its listed curb weight is 3,395 lbs, while luggage capacity ranges from 15.9 to 58.6 cubic feet.
