Features
An Evolution in Sophisticated SUV Styling
Totally redesigned for 2025, the Forester mixes rugged SUV practicality with modern elements like a bold new grille, striking headlight styling, geometric trim accents, and muscular design contours that draw the eye from every angle.
19-inch Alloy Wheels
For the first time, the 2025 Forester offers 19-inch alloy wheels in dark gray with machine-finish accents on the Forester Touring and a bronze finish on the Forester Sport.
Available Panoramic Moonroof
The Forester features an available panoramic moonroof to add even more light and atmosphere to the spacious interior.
Standard Roof Rails
Get even more cargo-carrying flexibility with raised roof rails, newly standard for 2025. Plus, Forester Sport and Forester Touring models receive all-new low-profile roof rails for sleeker style and improved aerodynamics. With either design, it’s easy to bring along equipment like kayaks, bikes, and skis or haul extra gear using a cargo carrier from our extensive line of Thule racking accessories.
Generous Cargo Room
Haul more gear for your adventures with up to 74.2 cubic feet of cargo space and easily load and unload large items with an extra-wide rear gate opening. A Power Rear Gate is standard to allow opening, closing, and locking the entire vehicle with the touch of a button. The Forester adapts to bring longer items by simply adjusting the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the 2025 Forester is designed to optimize traction in rain, dirt, on bad roads, or even when there’s no road at all. It constantly evaluates acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to continuously deliver power to all four wheels. If a wheel slips, power is instantaneously transferred to the wheels that have the most grip.
Enhanced Dual-Function X-Mode
The dual-function X-MODE is upgraded and re-tuned, with settings for dirt and mud that allow additional wheel slip to power through adverse conditions.

LONG-LASTING QUALITY
The Forester will be with you on all the journeys ahead — 96% of Forester vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today3. Its long-lasting quality is one reason why the Forester has won the lowest 5-year Cost to Own in it’s class for four years running, according to Kelly Blue Book’s KBB.com.4
UP TO 3,000-POUND TOWING CAPACITY
The 2024 Forester features up to 3,000 of towing capacity5 and an available accessory Class II hitch receiver, so you can haul all the equipment and gear your next expedition requires.

SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia with 11.6-Inch Touchscreen
For intuitive control of your apps, navigation, and entertainment, the SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia system in the 2025 Forester features a newly available 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen. Wireless device charging is also now available to make it even easier to stay charged up without the need for cables.
Available Hands-Free Power Rear Gate
The Forester has always been able to haul a surprising amount of cargo for a compact SUV. The 2025 Forester makes it even easier to load your gear with an available foot-activated, hands-free Power Rear Gate to allow cargo access even if your hands are full. The gate itself features an extra-wide opening to accommodate oversized items, and with up to 74.4 cubic feet of cargo space, you can fit plenty of equipment for your next adventure.
REMOTE ENGINE START WITH CLIMATE CONTROL
Enjoy the convenience of remotely starting your vehicle and adjusting the temperature via the MySubaru app on your smartphone so that your journey is comfortable from beginning to end6. There are also STARLINK Concierge services for personal assistance with tasks like navigation, restaurant reservations, and scheduling service appointments.

Upgraded EyeSight Driver Assist Technology7
The 2025 Forester features an upgraded version of Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technologies. Equipped with a wider filed of view, updated control software and a new electric brake booster, the latest version of EyeSight is designed to operate more smoothly and quickly and in a broader range of conditions. For added safety, available features include Reverse Automatic Braking8, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist9, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert9.
Automatic Pre-Collision Braking10
The 2025 Forester comes equipped with automatic pre-collision braking that detects potential collisions and helps you avoid them. With its advanced technology, the system warns you and applies full braking force automatically in emergency situations to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.
Emergency Stop Assist
For the first time on Forester, Emergency Stop Assist can stop the SUV if it detects an unresponsive driver when the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control is active. The system will stop the SUV, activate hazard lights, and unlock the doors. SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services can then call emergency services for help.
