Subaru is celebrating 50 years of its boxer engine with a run of 100 Special Edition Foresters, available from September 1 and priced from £29,995.

Finished in Hunter Green Metallic, the Special Edition is based on XC Premium trim, but gains additional underbody protection, wheel arch extensions and a stainless steel cargo step. It also features a brown leather interior. These extras are worth £1500 in total, but are fitted at no extra cost.

Also standard is 7.0-inch touchscreen, navigation and hill descent control. All Special Editions come with a Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission, linked to either a petrol or diesel engine, the latter of which is priced at £31,495.
