斯巴鲁近日在纽约车展发布了全新2019款森林人。第五代森林人不仅内部空间最宽敞，而且做工也是有史以来最精致的。它配备了车厂最新的DriverFocus安全技术并标配EyeSight辅助驾驶系统。该车外观设计突出越野车的粗犷特性，采用车厂最新设计语言，车辆轴距延长了1英寸一样，后排腿部空间增加了1.4英寸，同时头部、臀部和肩部空间都获得提升。该车搭载的2.5升水平对置引擎功率182马力，扭矩176磅-英尺（约合239牛米），相对于老款车略有提升。车厂表示，新车加速性提升，但高速路油耗仍能保持在33英里/加仑（百公里油耗约合7.13升）。消费者可选择新的运动套装，包括专属车身套装和独特驾驶模式。当驾驶员激活方向盘换挡拨片后，与引擎搭配的CVT变速器可模拟七速手动变速箱运行。斯巴鲁并未公布该车价格和上市时间。（文/刘根强）

2019 Subaru Forester Boasts More Cargo Room, More Efficiency

Subaru has pulled the veil from its all-new 2019 Forester at the New York International Auto Show.

 

The fifth-generation Forester is billed as the roomiest and most refined edition yet, showcasing Subaru's latest DriverFocus safety technology and standard EyeSight assistance systems.

 

Designers aimed to deliver a more rugged style that still meshes with Subaru's latest design language, though the company was clearly cautious in meddling too much with the aesthetics of its best-selling SUV.

 

The wheelbase has stretched by slightly more than an inch, increasing rear legroom by 1.4 inches and improving head-, hip-, and shoulder-room.

 

Engineers managed to squeeze 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque from the Forester's naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter boxer engine, marking a slight improvement over the outgoing model. The company promises the fifth generation is quicker to accelerate yet yields an estimated 33 mpg highway rating.

 

Buyers will have to settle for the new Sport package, which adds a few unique exterior elements along with special drive modes. The CVT attempts to mimic a seven-speed manual gearbox when the driver actuates the steering wheel paddle shifters. 

The company has not yet announced pricing or a specific arrival window for the new Forester.（文/刘根强）
