Leading off the 2025 Subaru Forester lineup is the Base trim, aptly named as it lays the groundwork for the rest of the models. Its exterior is designed for both style and functionality, featuring black folding side mirrors, body-color door handles, roof rails, 17-inch alloy wheels, and steering-responsive LED headlights. Step inside, and you'll find a well-equipped cabin with remote keyless entry, cloth upholstery with blue accent stitching, an electronic parking brake, dual 7-inch StarLink multimedia touchscreens, welcome lighting, and USB-based Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Even at its starting level, the Forester prioritizes safety with Subaru's Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering.

Building on the Forester's impressive standard features, the 2025 Forester Premium enhances comfort and convenience throughout the cabin. At the center of it all is the tablet-style 11.6-inch StarLink Multimedia Plus system, offering Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, a WiFi hotspot, and wireless Apple/Android smartphone integration. To keep your devices powered, the cabin includes dual USB-A and USB-C charging ports along with a wireless charging pad. Adding to its versatility, the Forester Premium comes with standard X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, a panoramic power sunroof, reclining rear seatbacks, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The all-weather package further boosts comfort with a windshield wiper de-icer, heated side mirrors, and heated front seats. Available upgrades for this trim include a power rear liftgate and blind-spot monitoring.

For a striking and sporty upgrade, the 2025 Forester Sport comes with exclusive design elements and performance enhancements. Its bold exterior features a Gloss Black front grille, bronze-finished 19-inch alloy wheels, a bronze-accented rear 'Sport' badge, and chrome and bronze side badges that emphasize its unique style. Inside, the cabin stands out with a dark gray dash panel, a bronze steering wheel insert, and durable gray StarTex water-repellant upholstery. Performance gets a boost with a retuned suspension for improved ride comfort, stability, and handling. The Sport trim also comes equipped with an eight-speed manual shift mode with steering wheel paddle shifters, dual-function X-MODE with hill descent control, blind-spot monitoring with lane change assist, and automatic emergency braking.
