Ready to tackle the great outdoors, the 2025 Subaru Forester is a great choice for weekend adventures. This compact SUV provides plenty of space for passengers and cargo and comes with tech features to keep you entertained throughout the journey.
Introducing the 2025 Subaru Forester
The 2025 Forester is a versatile compact SUV. It comes in 10 trim levels, all equipped with a symmetrical all-wheel drive system that delivers outstanding traction and stability in all driving conditions. You can choose between a conventional gas engine or a hybrid powertrain, which is offered on four trim levels treated as a separate lineup.
This model year also comes with an upgraded exterior compared to the previous generations. The athletic front fascia boasts an aggressive grille and LED steering-responsive headlamps that make this SUV instantly recognizable and provide outstanding illumination on dark roads. A roof spoiler and dark metallic 17-inch wheels boost the visual appeal and performance, while a spectrum of colors allows for easy personalization.
Power and Fuel Economy
Each Forester trim level has a 2.0L 4-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine under the hood, with 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque on all models except for the Wilderness, which boasts a net output of 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. In true Subaru fashion, all models come with standard all-wheel drive, and with a base ground clearance of 8.7 inches, you can confidently conquer all trails.
A perfect choice for daily driving, the Base and the Premium trim levels pair the drive system with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission with low-shift mode for EPA estimates of 26 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the Interstate. The upper trims also use Lineartronic CVT transmissions with seven or eight manual shift modes, depending on the trim, for added driving engagement.
Handling and Driving Assistance
Regardless of the trim level you prefer, the Forester is designed for off-roading and comes with a traction control system and vehicle dynamics control standard across the lineup. These systems use various sensors to monitor the vehicle’s balance and traction and correct the torque distribution instantly for enhanced safety in challenging driving conditions.
When towing, the Trailer Stability Assist system can help maintain vehicle control. Subaru also equips the Premium and upper trim levels with hill descent control and the X-MODE traction control system. A suite of driver assistance technologies with lane management and collision-avoidance systems enhances your safety in the city and when cruising highways, and it can help you build more confidence behind the wheel.
