Subaru moves into new territory with Subaru Tecnica International (STI). The Japanese automaker needs to produce more hybrid vehicles, and they also need to keep their performance fans happy. They can accomplish both in the new first-ever Forester STI e-Boxer Hybrid Concept.

Subaru is getting ready to uncover the first-ever Forester e-Boxer hybrid that has been enhanced by their performance partner, STI. It’s coming to the Tokyo Auto Salon 2019 running January 11-13. This show is where Subaru Corp typically unveils their concept performance models to show the world. Last year, they brought the VIZIV Performance STI Concept, a forerunner of the fifth-generation 2020-2021 Subaru WRX STI to the show for performance fans.

This year the Japanese automaker brings two STI-enhanced performance models; a 2019 Subaru Forester STI e-Boxer hybrid and an Impreza STI concept model to the Tokyo Auto Salon. We don’t have many details on the new performance Forester STI other than Subaru Tecnica International, Subaru’s performance partner, has given the hybrid powertrain some upgrades
