    The 2025 Subaru Forester all-wheel-drive compact SUV is completely redesigned for even more sophisticated style, updated technology, and versatile features. Get the flexibility to take on almost any road or weather condition with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance, while upgraded standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology gives you extra peace of mind. There are newly available features like an 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, wireless device charging, and a foot-activated, hands-free Power Rear Gate. And with the distinctive Forester Sport and Forester Touring, your personal style can find its perfect match.

A Capable, Versatile SUV

  • The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the Forester is designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, on rough 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.

  • With its exceptionally balanced layout, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers a solid connection with the road and an engaged, responsive drive. The entire system lies along the centerline of the vehicle, balancing weight distribution between the two sides to help provide optimal performance and control.

  • With fuel economy up to 33 MPG** and over 540 miles of driving range, the 2025 Forester compact SUV delivers competitive fuel efficiency. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive has demonstrated its durability and low maintenance over four decades of owner-tested Subaru vehicles, so you can be confident your Forester will keep taking you farther year after year.

    Dual-Function X-MODE®

    The Forester offers the confident capability of available dual-function X-MODE. This system works with the standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to provide maximum traction in slippery conditions and features settings for dirt/snow and deep snow/mud.

Safety for All

  • The 2025 Forester AWD compact SUV features upgraded standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology with a wider field of view and greater range for even more confidence and peace of mind. EyeSight acts like an extra set of eyes on the road and, if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive. Automatic Emergency Steering is available to help you avoid collisions by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene. 

  • Automatic Pre-Collision Braking  helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.

  • Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering adds extra convenience and safety on every drive. Just choose the distance you want to keep from the car in front of you and it can take some of the stress out of everyday driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control while maintaining a safe distance ahead.
