Do you remember the 2018 Subaru Forester Black Edition? Subaru offered it in the US for a short time with Forester 2.0XT turbocharged engine trim level. Consumers could get the Forester 2.0XT Black Edition in four exterior colours: Crystal Black Silica, Dark Gray Metallic, Crystal White Pearl and Ice Silver Metallic.
On the outside, the Black Edition package featured 18-inch black alloy wheels, fog lamps with black accent trim; exterior mirrors and badges finished in black; and a grille with a blacked-out wing pattern and a chrome frame. New steering-responsive LED headlights are also included as standard.
Subaru expected to offer customers a 2023 Forester 2.4L Turbo Black Edition
Inside, the Forester 2.0XT Black Edition came with paddle shifters on the steering wheel with a 6-speed manual mode. It came with special black cloth upholstered seats with leatherette bolsters and a center instrument panel finished in metallic silver and gloss black.
Customers would buy a 2023 Forester Black Edition with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. This would tell customers that the new Forester is the flagship model and give performance fans back the turbo Forester they carried away after 2018.
The 2023 Outback Black Edition
Would customers buy a 2023 Outback Black Edition? We think they would if it offered the same treatments outside and inside. Subaru could offer the Outback Black Edition on the new Outback Onyx Edition trim level with the new styling upgrades.
The Outback is Subaru of America’s second best-selling model and could use a shot in the arm. A new black edition would add even more excitement to the midsize SUV.
Subaru expected to offer customers a 2023 BRZ 2.4L Turbo Black Edition
Would customers buy a 2023 BRZ Black Edition? What if Subaru offered it with an upgrade to the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine? With a new turbocharged engine under the hood of the rear-wheel-drive sports coupe, the BRZ 2.4 Black Edition would sell out quickly.
The 2023 Subaru Forester Black Edition with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine would be the hottest model in the lineup that would excite customers. Subaru of America is expected to offer customers three new Black Edition models. This would create new enthusiasm around the Japanese manufacturer.
