About this generation

Subaru Forester SK: AWD is shared, the powertrain versions are not

Japan’s pre-facelift fifth-generation Subaru Forester combines AWD and a Lineartronic CVT with different engines. The period includes a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine, a hybrid with a 2.0-litre combustion engine and the later Sport version with a 1.8-litre turbo. Identify the build date and powertrain before comparing vehicle specifications.

Five seats, a 2,670 mm wheelbase and 220 mm of clearance provide the basic dimensions. Luggage capacity and layout need checking for the specific car and measurement method. X-Break has distinctive styling, but the badge does not confirm suspension condition or the full comfort list: check wheels, seats, the tailgate and actual equipment.
