2019 Subaru Forester: every variant sold in Australia
4 variants of the Subaru Forester carry the 2019 model year in our catalogue — the 5th Gen generation. Specs, safety, economy and standard equipment for every grade, side by side.
The 2019 Subaru Forester is no longer sold new in Australia. A price is shown only where we hold Subaru's own printed price for that variant: what it cost new, not a current offer or a used value. Specifications are kept for used-buyer research. See the current Subaru Forester.

Equipment across the 2019 range
Four states, never three. Standard means the document prints it as standard on that grade. Optional means it is a factory extra, at the price the document prints. No means the document confirms it is not available. No data means we have not read it off a Subaru document yet, which is not the same as saying the car does not have it.

What changed from the 2018 Forester
No 2018 grade we hold carries into 2019 under the same name, body, gearbox and drive, so the change is shown as the line-up itself rather than as price or spec moves on a guessed pairing. A grade listed below as in one year’s rows only may be a grade we have not added yet rather than one Subaru added or dropped; the variant table above is what we hold for 2019.
New generation: the 2018 rows are the SJ (facelift 2016-2018); the 2019 rows are the 5th Gen (SK) 2018-2025.
In our 2019 rows, not our 2018 rows: 2.5i AWD, 2.5i Premium AWD, 2.5i-L AWD, 2.5i-S AWD.
In our 2018 rows, not our 2019 rows: 2.0D-S CVT, 2.0XT Premium, 2.5i-S.

Not yet on file for this model year: kerb weight, service interval (months), service interval (distance), warranty term. These read “No data” until we read them off a source document, rather than a guessed figure.
Recalls on the 2019 Subaru Forester
None of the recall notices we have verified is matched to the 2019 variants on this page. That is a statement about our register, not a clearance: check a specific car by VIN on the government’s Product Safety Australia recalls register before you buy.
Where a figure has not been read off a source document it reads “No data” rather than a zero or a dash, and an equipment column reads “No” only where a document confirms the feature is not available. Full specs, the source for each variant and a side-by-side configurator for every Subaru Forester variant, including other model years, are on the model page.
