Subaru Forester Hybrid 2025: efficiency and technology arrive in the compact SUV with 194 hp and symmetrical all-wheel drive (Instagram @subaru_usa)
The Subaru Forester Hybrid 2025 debuts with a 2.5-liter boxer engine in Atkinson cycle, two electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery, offering a total of 194 hp.
This is the first hybrid Forester available in the United States, bringing a significantly improved fuel consumption, estimated at 14.8 km/l combined by the EPA, compared to 12.3 km/l for the conventional model.
Scheduled for release in the spring of 2025, its entry-level Premium version will cost $36,415, while the top-of-the-line Touring version will be priced at $43,115.
Unlike common hybrids, the Forester Hybrid retains Subaru’s traditional symmetrical all-wheel drive, ensuring that all wheels are mechanically driven all the time. The system includes features such as X-Mode for difficult terrains, SI-Drive for performance management, and an EV mode, although its small battery limits its use. Additionally, the hybrid setup offers better drivability, with an electric motor producing 118 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, making the car more agile in the city.
Inside, the model comes with a 12.3-inch digital display, an 11.6-inch multimedia system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a panoramic sunroof across all versions. The trunk space remains the same, but the vehicle does not have a spare tire due to the battery’s placement.
With dampers adjusted to handle the extra weight and additional sound insulation, the Forester Hybrid promises a comfortable and quiet driving experience, solidifying itself as an efficient and technological option for Subaru’s compact SUV.
