The Subaru Forester GT Edition, but with less equipment and a lower price.
When TC Subaru launched the new Forester GT Edition last year, few could complain about its equipment list, as it came fully loaded with Subaru’s EyeSight safety system.
It was the complete package, but the pricing may have been just a little too high for most customers. So now they’ve responded with the Subaru Forester GT Lite Edition.
This variant omits some features on the full Forester GT Edition in order to hit a price tag of RM163,788. Customers will still get the GT Full Body Kit and GT Exhaust cutter, 8″ Display Audio System and 360° Around View Monitor System.
However, the added advanced driver assist system from the EyeSight stereo camera system has been omitted. It also looks as if Subaru has given the GT Lite Edition the stock rims, which are measure 18″ across, just like they do on the full GT Edition Forester.
7 Colours are available for this vehicle:
- Crystal White Pearl
- Ice Silver Metallic
- Jasper Green Metallic
- Horizon Blue Pearl
- Sepia Bronze Metallic
- Dark Grey Metallic
- Crystal Black Silica
The Subaru Forester GT Lite Edition should be in Subaru showrooms nationwide, but book your appointment to view it.
Here’s the press release with more.
