Performance

The 2025 Forester is motivated by a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine producing 180 horsepower. This smooth and responsive engine utilizes Subaru's Dual Active Valve Control System for optimized power delivery. The Forester puts the power down through Subaru's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which continuously monitors traction and can adjust torque distribution for excellent grip on slippery roads around Belmont.

A Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) comes standard across the lineup, providing crisp gear changes for engaged driving. Boston drivers can also use the 8-speed manual shift mode and steering wheel paddle shifters for sporty performance. The CVT features X-MODE with Hill Descent Control, enhancing capability on steep inclines and rough terrain. As you can see, the 2025 Forester delivers an appealing balance of power and efficiency.

Exterior and Interior Design

The newest Forester combines rugged capability with refined styling cues like a hexagonal grille, LED headlights, and integrated roof rails. The spacious interior provides seating for up to five people with generous legroom. Available amenities like leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power panoramic moonroof create an upscale environment for your trips to Brookline.

The Forester offers user-friendly tech features, including Bluetooth phone connectivity, smartphone integration, voice controls, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a STARLINK 11.6-inch touchscreen. The available Harman Kardon® sound system pumps premium audio through 11 speakers for crisp, powerful sound. With its balance of versatile utility and creature comforts, the Forester SUV's interior offers comfort for daily commutes and weekend adventures near Norwood.

Safety

Subaru has built its reputation on safety, and the 2025 Forester delivers with a comprehensive array of driver-assistive safety technologies. LED headlights and daytime running lights enhance visibility, while the advanced stability control system helps keep the Subaru Forester composed in emergency maneuvers. Several airbags, including a driver's knee airbag, provide occupant protection.

The standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology system includes Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and other innovative features to help avoid accidents. A DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System monitors driver awareness using facial recognition and provides alerts for drowsiness and inattention. With capabilities like Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Reverse Automatic Braking available in select trim levels, the Forester provides peace of mind for every mile that you drive as you pursue a new adventure.

Technology

As an SUV packed with user-friendly tech, the 2025 Subaru Forester keeps drivers seamlessly connected on the go. The STARLINK infotainment system offers Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay allow easy smartphone integration, while voice controls provide distraction-free operation. Available navigation powered by TomTom provides turn-by-turn guidance to any destination in select models.

New for 2025, the available DriverFocus® system represents the latest in driver monitoring technology.
