Subaru Forester (gas-only)
The Forester is into a new generation for 2025, and with that it integrates a new front grille, headlights and taillights as well as more squared-off fenders and some unique spoke designs and copper colourway.
It also gets an updated steering rack which allegedly shares some components with the sporty WRX sedan. Power has been slightly tweaked going from 182 hp and 176 lb-ft of torqu in 2024 to 182 hp and 178 lb-ft. AWD and a CVT transmission are both standard.
Unfortunately with the change in design, we'll have to wait for the next generation of the rugged Wilderness model; for now Subaru will continue offering the 2024 Wilderness version as a 2025 model.
Toyota RAV4 (gas-only, hybrid and PHEV)
While it hasn’t been officially confirmed, it appears as though Toyota’s ultra-popular RAV4 will be getting a complete redesign in 2025, for the 2026 model-year. It’s also said that only the hybrid powertrain will continue to be available which isn’t a surprise, considering that’s been the case in a number of markets for quite some time now.
If it goes through, expect a much more aggressive front-end in keeping with the likes of the all-new 4Runner and Tacoma a well as more flowing lines than previously.
