2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid SUV, which is set to hit retailers this spring. Starting at
$34,995, this hybrid model combines efficiency with the brand's renowned performance.
Next-Generation Hybrid System
The
2025 Forester Hybrid is equipped with an advanced series-parallel hybrid system that features a newly developed
2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine alongside electric motors. This innovative powertrain promises up to
40% better fuel economy compared to its non-hybrid counterpart, making it an attractive option for eco-conscious consumers. The hybrid will also maintain Subaru’s legacy of
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, ensuring reliable handling and capability.
Trim Levels and Features
This latest model will be offered in various trims:
Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring. Each trim comes with Subaru's
EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which enhances safety on the road. Ground clearance of
8.7 inches is standard across all versions, providing formidable off-road capability.
The
Hybrid Premium trim is well-equipped, featuring a
12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster,
18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and an
11.6-inch multimedia navigation system—all for an MSRP of $34,995. For comparison, competing hybrid SUVs like the
2025 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid and the
2025 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid are priced at
