Built for Rugged Adventure

  • 9.2 Inches of Ground Clearance with Underbody Protection and Improved Angles

    The Forester Wilderness off-road SUV can ride above rough terrain thanks to 9.2 inches of ground clearance – something the Toyota RAV4 Woodland Edition and Ford Bronco Sport Badlands can’t match – plus enhanced front underbody protection provides even more confidence on the trail. The design of the front and rear bumpers helps keep clear of larger rocks and other obstacles with improved approach and departure angles.

  • The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system in the Forester Wilderness 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 instantaneouslytransferred 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 28 MPG and over 460 miles of driving range, the 2025 Forester Wilderness 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 Wilderness will keep taking you farther year after year.

Matte Black-Finish Wheels with All-Terrain Tires and Full-Size Spare

For better traction in all kinds of conditions, the Forester Wilderness features standard Yokohama GEOLANDAR® A/T all-terrain tires mounted to unique 17-inch matte black-finish alloy wheels. You’ll feel free to explore even farther down the trail with a full-size spare wheel and tire stored below the cargo area.

Built for Rugged Adventure

Enhanced Dual-Function X-MODE®

Dual-function X-MODE has settings for snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud that allow additional wheel slip to power through adverse conditions, taking the legendary sure-footedness of the Forester Wilderness even farther into the back country.

SUBARU BOXER® Engine and Revised Drivetrain Gearing

Along with the time-tested reliability of its direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine, the Forester Wilderness drivetrain features gearing with revised ratios for improved low-speed climbing – up to a 40 percent grade. You can bring along even more gear and adventure equipment with an upgraded towing capacity of 3,000 pounds– that’s more weight than the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands can handle.

    Tough SUV Style with Off-Road Protection

    With its protective exterior cladding covering the wheel wells and lower impact zones, the Forester Wilderness off-road SUV can handle anything the trail throws at it. The blacked-out trim with Anodized Copper-finish accents, Wilderness badging, and exclusively available Geyser Blue exterior paint bring extra style into the deep woods.

  • Exterior

    Reinforced Roof Rails

    The standard roof rails feature Anodized Copper-finish accents and are reinforced to carry more weight – or even a rooftop tent.

    Anti-Glare Hood Finish

    The Forester Wilderness features a matte-black hood accent to help reduce sun glare so you have a clearer view of the trail ahead.

Interior

  • A Comfortable, Connected Cabin in the Wild

    Even when the terrain gets rough, you can enjoy the  comfort and convenience of the Forester Wilderness interior. The high-quality textured StarTex® upholstery is both durable and easy to clean. An LED cargo lamp in the rear gate lets you easily find the gear you need and Anodized Copper-finish accents, contrast stitching, and embossed Wilderness logos add a touch of sophistication to the trail-ready cabin.

  • Interior

    Fold-Down Rear Seats, LED Cargo Light, and Extra-Wide Rear Gate Opening

    The Forester Wilderness is an off-road SUV that makes it easy to load up for the trail with an extra-wide rear gate opening and an LED rear cargo-area gate light. Inside, 60/40-split fold-down rear seatbacks give you the flexibility to accommodate even more cargo – 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more cargo space than the Ford Bronco Sport Badlands. Protective materials line the cargo area to stand up to wear and tear from passengers, pets, and gear.

  • Interior

    Textured StarTex Upholstery

    The durable, easy-to-clean interior of the Forester Wilderness is clad with StarTex upholstery featuring a textured honeycomb design and the Wilderness logo embossed on the headrests.

Count On It Anywhere

  • The 2025 Forester Wilderness AWD compact SUV features upgraded standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology 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 standard to help you avoid collisions by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene. EyeSight and other safety features in the Forester Wilderness have been calibrated to match its increased ground clearance and extensive off-road upgrades.

  • 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.
