===Europe=== 
The Forester was available in Europe from 2008 with either the 2.0-liter EJ20 ({{convert|150|hp|kW|abbr=on|disp=semicolon}}) 196 Nm gasoline engine with Active Valve Control System (AVCS) matched to either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox, or an all-new diesel-powered horizontally opposed [[Subaru EE engine|Subaru EE]] boxer engine, and six-speed manual gearbox. The new model was introduced at the [[2008 Paris Motor Show]] in October.<ref name="autoblog.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/05/paris-preview-subaru-debuts-boxer-diesel-forester-and-impreza/|title=Paris Preview: Subaru debuts boxer diesel Forester and Impreza|access-date=April 3, 2010|work=autoblog.com}}</ref> The diesel engine produces a power output of {{convert|147|PS|kW hp|abbr=on}} and 350 Nm. The EE20 diesel engine in the Euro 4 guise was plagued by crankshaft failure caused by cracks forming when operated in cold climate. Although Subaru never acknowledged this defect, the engine was reworked for the Euro 5 model in 2011 to fix this problem.

In the UK, the gasoline-powered Forester was offered in the popular X and XS models, while the trim levels for the diesel models were X, XC, and XS NavPlus.

In Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine 2.5 and 2.5 Turbo engines were also available.

In the Netherlands, the Forester is offered with gasoline or diesel engines. The gasoline engine can also be fitted with an additional [[liquefied petroleum gas]] installation (LPG), an aftermarket installation provided directly through dealerships. The available equipment levels are Intro (gasoline engine only), Comfort, Luxury, Premium, and XT (gasoline engine turbo). Maximum towing abilities for the gasoline or gasoline with LPG are 2000&nbsp;kg (manual) or 1500&nbsp;kg (auto), while the manual-only diesel can tow 2000&nbsp;kg.
