Fuji Heavy Industries, the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, has announced that the Malaysian-built Subaru Forester will make its debut at the 37th Bangkok International Motor Show, following the start of production in February. The show will be held from March 21 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The locally-assembled Forester will go on sale in the second quarter of 2016 in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia through the Subaru dealer network operated by Tan Chong International.
The Forester, which features Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, delivers superior driving performance and safety as well as environmental friendliness. Its optimal blend of fun-to-use SUV capabilities and a stress-free, fun driving character has made the Forester one of the Subaru brand’s best-selling models worldwide.
In its mid-term management vision ‘Prominence 2020’ announced on May 9, 2014, FHI had laid out initiatives to build a strong business structure. Introduction of the locally-built Forester is a key part of the company’s efforts to develop a strong business foundation in Southeast Asia.
