Following our earlier post regarding a Hong Kong stock exchange filing by Tan Chong International Limited (TCIL), saying that Subaru will cease all local assembly (CKD) operations in Southeast Asia by 2025, we can now confirm that no new Subaru has been produced in Malaysia since June 2023. Local distributor TC Subaru’s sole CKD model in Malaysia is the Subaru XV. The model is assembled at contract manufacturer Tan Chong Motor Assemblies’ (TCMA) plant in Segambut.

A short three months after the all-new 2024 Subaru Forester made its global debut late last year, the rumour mill churns with reports of a battery-electric variant of the popular SUV is set to make its debut very soon. Best Car Web's latest article states that the EV SUV could debut as soon as 2025, and is expected to feature improved interior space and all-wheel drive system. Most interestingly however, the report also states the purported Forester SUV "aims for a range of 700 km". Speculation,

The all-new sixth-generation 2024 Subaru Forester has been unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, let’s take a side-by-side look at the 2024 Subaru Forester and its predecessor.

Here comes the new 2023 Subaru Forester facelift into Malaysia...or at least soon, as a unit has been spotted within the compounds of Subaru Motor Image's Petaling Jaya showroom. Shared by reader Zaky Maky, the car was spotted last Tuesday (21-March 2023) and it's indisputably the facelift model – perhaps just the regular variant as it isn't dressed up in a GT bodykit, as some variants of its predecessor and the XV is. No word yet from the company on when the model is due to launch here, but it

The new Subaru Forester facelift made its global debut in Japan back in June 2021. 17 months later in November 2022 the facelifted Forester was launched in Thailand. The longer than usual time is partly because of the lead time necessary for local assembly (CKD) work, as the the Subaru Forester is locally-assembled (CKD) at Tan Chong Subaru Automotive Thailand’s plant in Lat Krabang, Bangkok.
