U.S. EPA
With its new-generation horizontally opposed four-cylinder engines, combined with the fitment of the latest Lineartronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) in place of the former four-speed automatics, Subaru has managed to improve both gas mileage and performance.
2.5i models with the CVT now boast EPA fuel economy ratings of up to 32 mpg highway; and thanks to direct injection in 2.0XT models, they now return an EPA Combined rating (best in class, according to Subaru) of 25 mpg.
Conclusion
2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i models get up to 32 mpg on the highway, while Subaru says that 2.5XT (Turbo) models, at 25 mpg Combined, are more fuel-efficient than other competing top-level compact crossovers.
