Quick answer

This guide covers Japan's first four Forester generations: SF from February 1997, SG from February 2002, SH from December 2007 and SJ from November 2012. The turbo and STI cars include the SF Type M, the SG9 STi Version (265 PS), the SH S-EDITION and tS, and the SJG 2.0XT (280 PS). Chassis codes alone do not give the engine.

Background

Overview

The Subaru Forester went on sale in Japan in February 1997. This guide covers its first four Japanese generations: SF from 1997, SG from 2002, SH from 2007 and SJ from 2012. Their STI versions include SF Type M, SG9 STi Version and the SH and SJ tS; each generation page covers grades, codes, recalls and import rules.

Quick read

Key takeaways

  • The first four Japanese generations covered here: SF (February 1997), SG (February 2002), SH (December 2007) and SJ (November 2012).
  • SF5 and SG5 each cover naturally aspirated and turbo cars, so read the full grade, not the chassis code.
  • The SG9 STi Version (3 February 2004) is rated 265 PS with a six-speed manual; UK press says the STI was sold only in Japan.
  • The SH changed its naturally aspirated engine in October 2010 (SH5 EJ20 to SHJ FB20); the 2.5-litre turbo SH9 is automatic only.
  • At launch the SJ turbo (SJG, 280 PS) was Lineartronic only; the SJ5 FB20 offered the manual.
  • Each generation page lists Subaru's recalls and notices by chassis number.

Identification

Chassis-code reference

Generation names are broad families. The factory chassis codes below identify the variants represented in JDMBUYSELL's current Subaru Forester guide data.

First generation — SF (1997–2002)
Chassis codes: SF5 and SF9
Second generation — SG (2002–2007)
Chassis codes: SG5 and SG9
Third generation — SH (2007–2012)
Chassis codes: SH5, SH9, and SHJ
Fourth generation — SJ (2012–2018)
Chassis codes: SJ5 and SJG

Confirm the complete code on the vehicle's frame or VIN plate; drivetrain, body, and market variants can use different prefixes within one generation family.

Market

Differences between JDM & USDM

This guide describes the Japanese-market Forester and uses Subaru's Japanese ratings in PS and kW. UK press says the Forester STI was only sold in the Japanese Domestic Market. Car and Driver's US model-year 2004 2.5XT (210 hp) and Subaru's US model-year 2014 2.0XT (250 hp) are separate specifications from the Japanese 220 PS XT and the Japanese 280 PS 2.0XT. Subaru's chronology lists US introduction in July 1997 and European introduction in September 1997.

Editorial

The buyer's read

Pick the generation first. The SF is the 1997 to 2002 car, with the turbo S/tb, the 2.5-litre T/25 and the S/tb-STi, STi II and Type M. The SG adds the Cross Sports and the SG9 STi Version. The SH moved its naturally aspirated cars from the EJ20 to the FB20 in October 2010 and added the S-EDITION and tS. The SJ is the FB20 SJ5 and the 280 PS FA20 SJG.

Then read the full grade and chassis number, because SF5 and SG5 each cover naturally aspirated and turbo cars. Check the recalls listed on the generation page by chassis number, and match equipment to the grade and date. Finally, judge age from the build date, and check EPA's engine rule if you plan to import to the US.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which Forester generations does this guide cover?
The first four Japanese generations: the SF (on sale February 1997), SG (12 February 2002), SH (25 December 2007) and SJ (13 November 2012). Dates are Subaru's Japanese launch dates, not model years.
Is a Forester STI the same as a Forester XT?
No. In Japan the SG9 STi Version is a separate 265 PS, 2.5-litre, six-speed model. The US model-year 2004 2.5XT is a different 210 hp specification, and UK press says the Forester STI was only sold in Japan.
Does every Japanese Forester have a turbo?
No. The SF launched turbo only in February 1997, but the naturally aspirated C/20 followed that year. The SG, SH and SJ each list naturally aspirated and turbo grades.
Can I import a Japanese Forester to the US or Canada?
The US 25-year rule is judged on each car's own build date, and EPA's age route also requires original configuration, a same-model replacement engine, or an engine with aftertreatment from a certified vehicle no older than the car. Canada uses 15 years from the manufacture month and year. State and provincial rules vary.
