Subaru Forester: which body do you have?
Compare your car with the pictures. The year you bought it is only a hint, because bodies changed at different times in different regions.
Forester (2019–2021, SK)
2019 – 2021
- Upright, boxy body with a hexagonal grille framed in chrome and C-shaped daytime lights
- Three front bumper patterns: Convenience / Premium / Limited, Touring (chrome accents) and Sport (black trim and orange accents); hood, fenders, lamps, sills and roof are shared
- LED fog lamps on Touring / Sport / Limited / Premier; Convenience has blank inserts: choose the fog option
- Rear sonar sensors on Limited / Premier: choose the rear-sensor option
Forester (2022–2024, SK refresh)
2022 – 2024
- Larger hexagonal grille with a new front bumper; slimmer headlights with a new daytime-light signature (one lamp pattern fits every trim including Wilderness)
- Sport has its own front bumper and grille; Wilderness (2022+) has its own front and rear bumpers, grille, larger cladding and a matte hood decal
- LED fog lamps on Touring / Sport / Limited / Premier; Convenience has blank inserts: choose the fog option
- Front View Monitor camera in the grille centre on Touring / Premier (and Wilderness); other trims have a plain grille: choose the grille-camera option on grille, full-front and full-body kits
- Rear sonar sensors on Limited / Premier / Wilderness: choose the rear-sensor option
- The 2025 Forester Wilderness carries this body over in North America while every other trim moved to the sixth generation (Subaru, November 2024): a 2025 Wilderness is THIS body, not the redesigned Forester
- Japan and Europe also kept this body on sale after the sixth generation reached North America

2025 onwards

- Front View Monitor camera in the grille centre on Touring / Premier (and Wilderness); other trims have a plain grille: choose the grille-camera option on grille, full-front and full-body kits

- The rear bumper pattern is the same with or without rear sonar sensors

Subaru Forester PPF kits by body
We cut DIY pre-cut paint protection film for 3 Subaru Forester bodies. A new body starts wherever the panels change shape, such as a facelift with a new bumper or lights, so a kit always matches the car it was cut for.
