2025 Subaru Forester – What’s new?
The Forester's design evolves – mildly - with this sixth generation. The Forester’s front end has been redesigned, and the back end has been tweaked as well. Both ends make fuller use of hexagonal shapes, one of the Japanese automaker’s stylistic signatures.
Inside, Subaru sought to enhance the quality of the presentation, notably via the use of upgraded materials. The newest version of the EyeSight safety suite has been integrated and is included as standard equipment.
Powertrain of the 2025 Subaru Forester
Note that all versions retain their 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine. A few minor tweaks have been made, resulting in 180 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) teams up with this engine.
Subaru also promises more responsive all-wheel drive, as well as the updated EyeSight system.
