SUBARU has promised sharper handling in a package of changes introduced in a new-look version of the Forester model. Launched simultaneously in Detroit and at the Brussels Motor Show, the car features retuned suspension and a wider rear track.

It also had a freshened appearance from new front and rear styling. Prices for both the Forester 2.0 GLS and 2.0 S-Turbo will be announced closer to the UK's May on-sale date.
