00:00Sì, andrei
00:30Sì, andrei
01:00Sì, andrei
01:02So, let's get started right away
01:04So welcome to the first episode of the sixth season of Car Influencer for a Day
01:08By now, you know, I'm Elena Giaveri
01:10Well, during this season 2 we're going to test drive 10 cars together with some true enthusiasts like me, who are also my followers
01:18So let's start right away by introducing one of today's two protagonists
01:22It's a substantial SUV, I would call it since 1997
01:29Just think that it has sold 5 million cars worldwide, so in 27 years of career, an absolutely historic model
01:37It's a model that stands out for its practicality, solidity and also reliability on the road, but also for its excellent off-road capabilities
01:51Well, we can say that it has remained similar to what it has always been, so it has not changed
02:01It has maintained its original characteristics typical of off-road vehicles, but at the same time with this sixth generation it has been updated in terms of aesthetics, comfort and technology
02:10I am talking about the Subaru Forester, which we will test today in the premium trim level and Mario Agosti will be with me
02:21Mario, welcome to Car Influencer for a Day
02:25Thank you for the welcome Elena, it is a pleasure to be here and thank you for the opportunity
02:30I am Mario, I come from So Majorator May
02:34I am 23 years old and I study electronic engineering at the University of Parma
02:39So you will also be particularly interested in all the technology behind this car
02:45Of course, I am very interested, also because it is my first experience with Subaru
02:50So, before going to discover all this technological part, I would first like to focus on the exterior
02:59The exterior, as anticipated, is very solid and robust from my point of view
03:04In terms of measurements, it is 4.67 meters long, 3 centimeters more than the previous version
03:131.83 meters wide, 1.73 meters high
03:17With a wheelbase of 2.67 meters and a ground clearance of 22 centimeters
03:22What can you tell me about the front end, Mario?
03:27But I have to say that I really like the look of the car, given by the black grille that also extends to the LED headlights
03:37And so the look is given only by this element here, the headlight is larger and also integrates the updated Subaru logo
03:44Right? Perfect. Well, we can say therefore a much sharper look than before
03:49Let's take a look at the side instead
03:52On the side, there is a clean line
03:56I have to say that you immediately perceive the robustness of this car even looking at it from this perspective
04:01For example, the underbody protection
04:04This underbody protection strip immediately gives me that sense of pragmatism of the car
04:09What else can we add, Mario, from this side perspective?
04:14But we can add, okay
04:15First of all, the e-boxer lettering
04:17Which reminds us that the beating heart of this car is a boxer engine supported by a mild hybrid electric motor
04:23And for the rest, a very aggressive cut
04:26I have to say that I like it
04:28I would also like to focus on the wheels
04:32Which in this case in the premium trim are 19 with hexagonal wheel arches
04:36Then we also have these roof bars
04:39Um, it's nice that they are in glossy black and I would say that in this case
04:43Therefore in the premium trim, we also have tinted windows
04:47I would say that we can now take a look at the rear
04:50A classic and balanced rear
04:52Mario, what do we notice from this perspective?
04:56Well, from my perspective I can definitely see the symmetrical all-wheel drive logo
05:04Which is typical of Subaru and is an attraction at 50 in the front and 50 in the rear
05:09And then a very interesting detail is the Subaru logo in the rear light
05:12And still regarding the headlights, what else can we add?
05:23Which are full LED and there is this plastic element that accompanies the two headlights and the Forester lettering
05:29Precisely, of the model name and let's say a very aggressive overall line that does not make you feel the softness of this car
05:35I would also add the fact that it is a truly rational SUV in my opinion
05:45So much so that we have, unlike many other models that we are used to seeing lately
05:49A straight tail
05:50This straight tail is actually very useful for the trunk
05:57So it significantly increases the load capacity
06:00So much so that on this model it stands at 508L
06:03Which goes up to 1731 by folding down the backrests of the rear seats
06:07Then we have the motorized tailgate and inside the trunk many very useful hooks, clips and even a 12V socket
06:17So let's take a look at the interior
06:21Well, here internally the first thing that comes to mind is that the Subaru forest has always had very rational interiors that paid more attention to substance
06:31Now, while remaining faithful to what it was originally, I realize that it has really improved
06:38It is much, much more refined
06:40What do you think Mario?
06:43Well, yes, the perceived feeling of quality inside is very high, thanks to the perforated leather seats
06:50Then we also have suede details on both the doors and the sides of the seats
06:55We also have leather details on the door and I must say a bit throughout the car that further increase this perceived quality
07:06Yes, I have to say that I am very satisfied
07:11Right?
07:13Well, I will also say that the seats are ergonomic and they are nicely raised
07:17So this also allows you to maximize your view of the road
07:20There is a lot of space both in the front and in the back
07:25Even for someone who is 1.80 meters tall it is really comfortable
07:29We did the test drive earlier with a colleague of ours
07:32We can see that it is a rational car
07:35Also because unlike many other competitors in this case it has also kept a lot of physical buttons
07:40True
07:42Yes, true
07:44And I especially appreciate the fact that there is no digital dashboard
07:48But the classic hands have been maintained
07:50And I also really appreciate the physical buttons for the most important controls
07:55Such as those for the dual zone climate control
07:58Right?
08:01I also think this is really, really convenient
08:03But we still see this leap forward in terms of technology that is also given by this central screen
08:08Because we can't help but notice it
08:10A central screen that has now gone from 8 to 11.66 inches
08:17So very clear, very large and easy to use
08:20The gear lever is also nice
08:25It has also remained with the lever instead of the sticks that we are used to seeing today
08:29What else can we add in terms of safety, Mario?
08:37But in terms of safety we certainly have all the main adosh and it really lacks nothing from this point of view
08:42That at Subaru
08:46I would like to add
08:48They call the I package and it has been absolutely updated
08:51As Mario was saying
08:52And it consists of many driving aids
08:54At this point, Mario
08:58All that's left for us to do is test its safety and efficiency
09:01Let's go
09:02Let's go
09:02I'm very curious
09:04So, Mario
09:14What do you think of this Subaru Forester?
09:17I find it really comfortable, solid and also balanced
09:20This is certainly due to the Subaru Global Platform
09:27But also to this engine
09:29Which is a 2,000 horsepower 4-cylinder petrol iboxer with 136 horsepower
09:34To which is added a battery that delivers 16.7 horsepower
09:38And then also to this gearbox, right?
09:44Yes, this gearbox, which is a Lineartronic
09:46Would be a gearbox with CVT technology
09:49Well, I have to say that it behaves very well
09:52And overall, how do you find it driving?
09:57So, what do you think of this car?
09:59I find it really well balanced, stable
10:02And for an off-road car, I have to say that it drives very well
10:08It
10:09Drives well, very well on the road
10:12But clearly this car also excels for its off-road capabilities
10:15As we said, thanks to its 22cm ground clearance
10:19It really is one of the best in the C-segment
10:24Yes, really
10:27If you want to go off-road, perhaps
10:29In fact, yes
10:30This is definitely the choice to make in the CUV segment
10:33Driving comfort is also guaranteed by the suspensions
10:39But also by the system
10:40By the traction that we have, right?
10:43In this specific case
10:44Yes, exactly
10:45We have this traction
10:49Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
10:51Which is a Subaru trademark and distinguishes it from all its competitors in the C-segment
10:56Then, again for off-roading
11:06We also have the Subaru X-Mode
11:08Which, through improved management of the gearbox, accelerator and even downhill speed
11:13Manages to guarantee safety even when the wheels are on terrain that is not asphalt
11:18Exactly
11:23Exactly
11:24So, going back to the issue of safety
11:27We could also mention some UDOSH systems
11:30On this Subaru Forester we find all the main driver assistance systems that Subaru includes in a package called HIDE
11:40Including a speeding warning system
11:46M-H-M-H
11:48Then there is a system that warns us
11:50Maybe when we are reversing and a vehicle comes out, it warns us
11:54Then we have the lane keeping system
11:57And many others
12:01Well, we can't mention them all
12:03But let's say that these cameras, these radars have been further updated and improved more and more
12:07So Mario, did you have fun with this Subaru Forester?
12:30Yes, I have to say that I had a lot of fun and it was a pleasant discovery of this brand
12:34Before concluding our test, as always, let's remember some data
12:38We tested the Subaru Forester which is available only with the mild hybrid boxer engine that combines a 2004-cylinder petrol engine with 136 horsepower and a battery that delivers 16.7 horsepower
12:53And Lineartronic Automatic Transmission
12:58As for the trim levels, it is available in 4 versions, namely freestyle for adventure and premium like ours
13:06And as for the price, it starts at 41,950 euros
13:11I see a presence
13:14That is approaching very slowly, very slowly
13:18Now he'll be saying he started talking before entering the frame
13:21Okay, the amateur things that I do with great love
13:24I have to tell the truth, and you do them perfectly
13:27But anyway, okay, no, I congratulate you
13:30Okay, Arena, first of all I'm glad you started this new edition of Cypher for a day
13:34Congratulations to Mario 2
13:35Anyway, I hope you had fun
13:37Sure
13:37And then here you found something for you, engineering, electronics
13:41I think it's a fun fair, I think
13:43No, yes, yes, I fell silent very comfortably
13:46It's true that then, as you were saying, well, nowadays when we talk about cars, well, electronics is the element, it's the fundamental heart
13:52It's becoming more and more so
13:53Exactly
13:54So what do we do, vacation now
13:56So now we're going on vacation and we'll see each other again
13:59Great, not you because I'm the only one going
14:01No, no, no, you're going to the other side
14:04But we'll both take vacations, obviously
14:06Vacant and then we'll see each other in September with the second episode
14:10This will also be the time for Safe Drive to resume in September
14:15But keep following us on social media where you'll find all the dates with the new broadcasts, the programming and more
14:21So thank you very much again, Elena
14:23Thank you very much, Mario
14:25Greetings to all of you
14:26Have fun, rest, have a good vacation and we'll meet again a little later with Safe Drive, okay?
