Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210

The Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 reaches 60 mph in 5.65 s (100 km/h in 5.99 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.42 s, tripping the lights at 94.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s and the eighth mile in 9.23 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Forester 2.5 XT 210

The 2002 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged SUV of 1,400 kg with 208 bhp, which works out at 148 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.21 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,844th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 30th quickest of the 119 Subarus here. It leaves better than it pulls: 94.8 mph at the lights is only the 3,763rd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 0-60 time?
The Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 reaches 60 mph in 5.65 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,844th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 quarter mile time?
14.42 s at 94.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.23 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.21 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 have?
208 bhp and 1,400 kg, which is 148 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 225 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210?
Closest here on pace: Land Rover Defender 130 P400 3.0 8-Seats 395 (5.69 s), Xpeng P7 RWD Long Range (5.67 s), Tesla Model Y Long Range RWD (5.69 s). Each one can be raced against the Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Subaru Forester 2.5 XT 210 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
