Subaru Unveils the All-New 2025 Forester Hybrid

Subaru has done it again—combining their legendary performance, cutting-edge innovation, and eco-conscious design to introduce the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. Debuting at the 2025 Chicago Auto Show, this hybrid SUV represents Subaru’s first venture into a U.S. hybrid offering for the Forester lineup. Packed with a next-generation hybrid powertrain and thoughtful features, it’s designed to enhance capability, boost efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Here’s everything you need to know about Subaru’s latest masterpiece.

A Next-Generation Hybrid Powertrain

One of the standout features of the 2025 Forester Hybrid is the state-of-the-art Subaru series-parallel hybrid system. Engineers have seamlessly integrated a newly developed 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine with electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery to deliver superior performance and efficiency.

With a total system horsepower of 194, the Forester Hybrid packs more punch than its non-hybrid predecessor, which peaked at 180 hp. The new powertrain achieves up to 40% better fuel economy than non-hybrid models, earning an EPA-estimated 35 mpg in both the city and combined driving conditions. With an impressive range of up to 581 miles per tank, this SUV is perfect for long road trips or reducing fuel stops during your daily commute.

Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive continues to shine in the hybrid Forester, providing reliable off-road capability without sacrificing the smooth handling that drivers expect. Whether navigating city streets, tackling mountain terrain, or cruising highways, the 2025 Forester Hybrid promises a versatile and dynamic driving experience.

An SUV that Merges Capability and Comfort

The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid offers more than just exceptional performance—it’s designed for unparalleled comfort and ease of use. With 8.7 inches of ground clearance, standard across all trims, it outperforms most SUVs in tackling uneven terrain, while still maintaining an accessible step-in height that ensures comfort for both front and rear passengers.

Features like X-MODE® Dual Mode with Hill Descent Control, Active Torque Vectoring, and Vehicle Dynamics Control further elevate safety and handling, assuring drivers that they can conquer challenges with confidence. Whether tackling rain-soaked roads or dusty trails, every drive feels secure and enjoyable.

Subaru's Visionary Safety Technologies

Safety takes center stage in Subaru’s new hybrid offering. All 2025 Forester Hybrid models come equipped with the most advanced version of Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. Think of it as your co-pilot—optimizing safety and response through a wider field of view, updated software, and an electric brake booster.

EyeSight® now identifies pedestrians and cyclists faster at intersections, actively intervening to prevent collisions when necessary. Additional safety features, like Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, and Emergency Stop Assist, ensure your peace of mind on every drive.

Emergency Stop Assist is particularly noteworthy—it stops the vehicle, activates emergency lights, unlocks doors, and contacts emergency services if the driver becomes unresponsive while using Adaptive Cruise Control. Subaru's dedication to safety here is unmatched.

Modern Technology Meets Driver Convenience

The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is equipped with tech features designed to simplify your driving experience. Its suite includes:

• A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster for accurate, real-time vehicle data
• An 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen Subaru Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
• SiriusXM® radio access with a 4-month All-Access Platinum Plan trial
• Over-the-air updates for seamless software improvements

These tools go beyond entertainment, offering navigation, climate controls, and vehicle settings that make every aspect of driving more intuitive. Subaru ensures that behind the wheel, drivers stay connected and in control.

Bold Styling with Eco-Friendly Choices

The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid doesn’t just deliver performance—it looks incredible doing it. The exclusive new Daybreak Blue Pearl color offers a fresh, vibrant addition to the lineup, complemented by optional Crystal Black Silica accents. HYBRID badges are featured throughout the SUV’s design, reminding everyone that style and sustainability can coexist.

For a modern and eco-conscious interior, high-durability, animal-free StarTex® seating material is available on select trims. From the interior to the exterior, every detail is designed with both style and sustainability in mind.
