2020 Subaru Forester SK 2.5i Sport - White - 149,860km - All Wheel Drive, CVT, 2.5L Boxer
Overview
The fifth-generation Subaru Forester (SK platform, 2019 onwards) represents a significant step forward for the Japanese brand's compact SUV line. The 2.5i Sport variant sits in the mid-range of the Forester family, offering a compelling blend of practicality, safety technology, and genuine all-wheel-drive capability without the premium pricing of higher trims. This white example, built in September 2020, has covered 149,860 kilometres and presents as a well-maintained family SUV with genuine appeal to buyers seeking a reliable, feature-rich compact crossover.
The Forester's 2.5-litre naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine is the workhorse of the range. Producing 182 horsepower and 239 Newton-metres of torque, it's paired with Subaru's continuously variable transmission (CVT) with seven simulated gears, delivering smooth power delivery and respectable fuel economy. The all-wheel-drive system is standard across the range, providing genuine traction and stability in varied conditions without the complexity or fuel penalty of traditional four-wheel-drive hardware. This is a vehicle engineered for real-world driving, not marketing brochures.
Externally, the white paint presents in good condition across all panels. The bodywork is straight with no obvious dents or creases. The 2.5i Sport trim brings 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and a modern SUV stance that has aged well. The four-door configuration and generous ground clearance make this a practical proposition for families and active users alike. Inside, the five-seat cabin features a mix of cloth and synthetic materials with red accent stitching throughout, creating a sporty aesthetic. The infotainment system is a touchscreen unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a significant convenience feature at this price point. Climate control, cruise control, and power windows are standard. The driving position is commanding without being excessive, and visibility is excellent thanks to the high seating position and large windows.
At 149,860 kilometres, this Forester sits in the mid-life range for a 2020 model. The service history is documented in the logbook, with the most recent 'C' service (maintenance and lubrication) recorded at 141,371 kilometres on 23 December 2025. This demonstrates ongoing care and adherence to Subaru's service schedule. The vehicle comes with the original owner's manual and supplementary documentation, providing transparency and peace of mind for the next owner. Two keys are present.
In the current market, comparable 2020 Forester SK models with similar mileage are trading in the $22,000 to $28,000 range depending on specification and condition. The 2.5i Sport sits comfortably in this bracket, offering genuine value for buyers seeking a practical, well-equipped all-wheel-drive SUV with a reputation for longevity and reliability. The Forester platform is known for strong resale value and low maintenance costs, making this a sensible choice for families and fleet operators alike.
Condition
The white paint holds good gloss across all panels with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with normal highway use. Panel gaps are even and body lines are straight. The alloy wheels show light kerb rash on the front passenger side, typical of urban driving. The interior presents well with minimal wear to the seat bolsters and steering wheel. The dashboard is free from cracks or significant fading. Carpets and trim show age-appropriate wear. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with all fluid levels in order and no obvious leaks or modifications. The spare tyre is present and serviceable in the boot well.
