Which Forester years got a 2.5L 4-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Forester report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 2.5L 4-cyl Forester: common questions
Which Forester years have the 2.5L 4-cyl?
2011–2026 — 15 model years in our VIN decode, across 157 factory configurations and 944,496 VINs.
What does a 2.5L 4-cyl Forester cost?
$20,990 is the typical asking price across the 31,765 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.
Is the 2.5L 4-cyl turbocharged?
Partly: 7% of the configurations in this family decode as turbocharged, the rest as naturally aspirated.
What is the engine code, and does it matter?
NA — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
