2025 Subaru Forester Power
The new Forester delivers plenty of power for all your driving needs, courtesy of the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER engine offered standard across all trim levels. This powertrain boasts 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque and pairs with Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive system for confident handling on and off the road.
A continually variable transmission (CVT) with low shift mode comes standard on the entry trims, offering smooth shifting for improved performance and fuel economy. If you need more control, the Sport and upper trims come with a CVT with an 8-speed manual model. The Subaru Intelligent Drive system comes standard across all trims, with two different drive modes for optimized performance based on your driving style or road conditions.
Adventure-Ready Features
Whether you want to tow a light trailer or conquer new heights, the 2025 Forester comes with a range of adventure-ready features. A highlight is the generous ground clearance of 8.7 inches, plenty for confident driving over road bumps, fallen branches, and ruts.
Active torque vectoring pairs with a traction control system and vehicle dynamics control for improved stability in challenging driving conditions. With a towing capacity of 1,500 lbs and trailer stability assistance, taking your toys or camping trailer with you is a breeze. In select trims, the X-MODE system further optimizes the power output and torque distribution for enhanced control on slippery surfaces and various terrains.
Advanced Subaru Safety
The 2025 edition of the Subaru Forester is safer than ever thanks to Subaru’s newly upgraded EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. This suite of active safety features uses a variety of sensors to help detect obstacles in your path, warn you to prevent collisions, and help you stay in your lane. The system includes advanced adaptive cruise control with lane-centering, reducing fatigue during long journeys.
Versatile Interior Design
With a flexible interior design, the 2025 Forester is a versatile SUV for all your driving needs. This five-seater boasts ergonomic front seats with manual or power adjustability. The 60/40 split-fold rear bench offers ample space for riders and folds completely flat when you need more cargo space, making it easy to carry bulky items.
Behind the rear seats, 29.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity gives you plenty of room for groceries, daily essentials, and luggage. With the rear seats folded, you can enjoy up to 74.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
