Compact Crossover

Product Overview

Subaru Forester 4 (chassis code SJ) is a compact crossover in production from 2012 to 2018. It was available with a range of flat-4 engines that displaced 2.0 to 2.5 liters.

Compared to the Mk3 model, the Mk4 Forester has a smaller drivetrain lineup. CVT has fully replaced automatic transmissions, while the manual was upgraded to 6-speed. The engines are an evolution of those found in earlier Subaru vehicles.

The design of the vehicle, due to its crossover form factor, hasn't changed much. It remains generic and forgettable but doesn't offend.
