The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid marks Subaru’s inaugural introduction of a hybrid powertrain in the Forester lineup, combining enhanced fuel efficiency with the brand’s renowned all-wheel-drive capability.
Equipped with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors, the Forester Hybrid delivers a combined output of 194 horsepower. This setup achieves an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 35 mpg combined, with 35 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. This represents a notable improvement over the non-hybrid Forester’s ratings of up to 29 mpg combined (26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway).
With its efficient hybrid system, the Forester Hybrid offers a driving range of up to 581 miles on a single tank of gas, allowing for longer journeys with fewer refueling stops.
The hybrid powertrain not only enhances fuel efficiency but also provides increased power compared to the standard model, which has 180 horsepower. Despite the added hybrid components, the Forester Hybrid maintains Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, ensuring optimal traction and stability across various driving conditions.
The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is available in several trims, with the entry-level Premium starting at $36,415, the Sport at $39,415, the Limited at $40,830, and the top-tier Touring at $43,115. The model is expected to arrive at dealerships in spring 2025.
The introduction of the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid offers consumers a compelling option in the compact SUV segment, combining improved fuel economy and extended range with the versatility and all-weather capability that Subaru is known for.
