Subaru Forester Horsepower by Year
The Subaru Forester’s listed horsepower ranges from 165 to 250 hp across the catalog years 1999–2022. The range gives the low and high figures recorded for the vehicle, rather than one rating that applies to every Forester. Horsepower can change by model year and engine, so use the year and engine details in the catalog to identify the figure for a particular vehicle.
The figures are stated in horsepower (hp). A range does not show every year-by-year or engine-specific rating, and it should not be read as a guarantee that a vehicle produces the same power as another Forester. If the catalog does not list the horsepower for your specific year or engine, confirm it in the owner’s manual.
