The first-ever Forester Hybrid features a next-generation hybrid powertrain that begins with a 2.5L Subaru Boxer engine. Accompanying this are electric motors that supplement power while coasting or decelerating. This setup provides you with an increase of 14 horsepower over the gas-powered Forester, bringing power output to 194 horsepower along with increased torque. Perhaps the most exciting aspect is the increased fuel efficiency and range, offering a 40% improvement in fuel economy at 35 MPG, and a total driving range of an astonishing 581 miles. In addition to the performance and efficiency, the Forester Hybrid continues to provide drivers with impressive capability, coming standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE Dual Mode with Hill Descent Control, Active Torque Vectoring, and Vehicle Dynamics Control. Plus, with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Forester Hybrid maintains the Forester's off-road rugged capability while enhancing your on-road efficiency.

The Forester Hybrid has a wide range of features inside and out that make it stand out in the competitive compact SUV market. Outside, it features the refreshed design of the 2025 Forester, with an upgraded, wide grille flanked by crisp LED headlights. Meanwhile, the contoured body lines give it an aggressive yet aerodynamic image. At the rear, reshaped LED taillights add to the modernization of the Forester Hybrid. Announcing the Forester Hybrid's rugged nature are the pronounced black cladding on the rocker panels and fender flares. The Forester Hybrid stands out from the traditionally powered Forester with unique alloy wheels. Stepping inside, you'll find the epitome of forward thinking and experience Subaru's commitment to innovation. At the center of the modernized dashboard, you'll find a tablet-style 11.6-inch Subaru StarLink touchscreen with built-in navigation. Other cabin features include a panoramic power moonroof, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 12.3-inch fully-digital instrument cluster, and more.

​The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid comes equipped with the latest version of Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, setting a new benchmark for safety and driver confidence. This advanced system utilizes dual color cameras mounted near the rearview mirror to monitor traffic movement, optimize cruise control, and provide lane departure warnings. Key features include Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Pre-Collision Braking, and Pre-Collision Throttle Management, all designed to assist the driver in maintaining safe driving conditions. In the 2025 Forester, EyeSight has been enhanced with a broader field of view and updated control software, allowing for better detection of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles, especially at intersections. An electric brake booster has been introduced to improve braking precision, enabling the system to apply full braking force more rapidly in emergency situations. These upgrades contribute to a smoother and more responsive driving experience, providing drivers with greater peace of mind on the road. Additionally, the Forester Hybrid offers Automatic Emergency Steering, which works in conjunction with Pre-Collision Braking to help avoid collisions by providing automatic steering support when necessary. This feature, combined with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, ensures that the Forester Hybrid delivers not only efficiency but also a high level of safety and control in various driving conditions.
