MakerSource: 2023 Subaru Forester Specifications

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

The 2023 documents

1 document behind the 2023 Forester’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.
