Subaru has confirmed that the next-generation Forester will make its debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks
Your First Look At The 2019 Subaru Forester Is This Shadowy Teaser

Ladies and gentlemen: pray silence please, for the fifth-generation Subaru Forester. Well, part of it - what you’re looking at is one of those darkened, heavily-cropped teaser images showing us a light cluster, a badge, and…not much else.

But, Subaru has given us a debut date - the all-new Forester will says its grand hello to the world at the New York Auto Show on 28 March, during a press conference that’ll kick off at 13:45 Eastern.

Beyond that, we don’t know much, but expect the next Forester to have a range of ‘boxer’ flat-four engines, each hooked up to a CVT gearbox. There probably won’t be a diesel version though, with Subaru previously hinting that it would soon drop oil burners from the range.

The next-gen Forester will probably take styling cues from the Viziv Future concept

The 2019 Forester was kinda/sorta previewed by the angular Viziv Future concept back in 2015, but expect the production version to be quite a bit more restrained. We’re talking about a few retained styling cues (we can already see that the rear light clusters have carried over the c-shape motif), rather than simply the car you see above with normal wing mirrors and less spangly wheels. A shame, but there’s no harm in crossing our fingers in the hope for something more dramatic…

Let’s face it its going to be just another rubbish modern style SUV made in the Quashqaui/Sportage image. My hopes are not high.

So we can expect to see a picture someone took on a Nokia next week?

And that lit up rear lamp looks a hell of a lot like an X5

So it’ll be ugly. All these shadowy teasers kinda confirm that.
