KUALA LUMPUR: In light of the range's success last year, TC Subaru Sdn Bhd has decided to introduce the Forester GT 2.0i-L Lite Edition sports utility vehicle (SUV) which offers add-ons such as the GT Full Body Kit and the GT Exhaust cutter.
"Following the success of the Forester GT Edition last year, I am proud to introduce the new Forester GT Lite Edition in Malaysia. It is dynamically designed for customers looking to purchase a large SUV, with a great track record for safety and reliability, with more cabin space and with a sporty, stylish façade," said TC Subaru's country manager Eugene Tay.
"The GT Lite Edition comes equipped with Subaru's top-of-the-line safety features, and is competitively priced below the popular GT edition. It is an example of how we are constantly offering more choice for our customers," he added.
Priced at RM163,788, the SUV is available in seven colours – Crystal White Pearl, Ice Silver Metallic, Jasper Green Metallic, Horizon Blue Pearl, Sepia Bronze Metallic, Dark Grey Metallic and Crystal Black Silica.
It comes with three Subaru Core Technologies – Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, Boxer Engine and the Subaru Global Platform, and boasts more than 100 safety features including seven airbags, ring-shaped reinforcement frame, X-Mode, ground clearance of 220mm and auto-retracting safety pedals.
The interior includes an 8-inch Display Audio System and a 360° Around View Monitor System.
The Forester GT Edition, introduced as an EyeSight variant last year, was said to be a hit among buyers.
It was tailored specifically with Motor Image's in-depth understanding of the market, designer Jack Kobayashi's expertise, as well as Giken's experience.
