The Subaru Forester should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2025 2.5L S EyeSight: 247 N·m; 2024 2.0L L EyeSight GT Lite Edition: 196 N·m; 2024 2.0L S EyeSight GT Edition: 196 N·m; 2024 2.0L S EyeSight: 196 N·m; 2024 2.0L L EyeSight: 196 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
