This SUV has always been both sporty and safe for families, but in 2025, the Forester's technology is at its best. Of course, we don't want to spoil everything right off the bat, so please continue reading to learn more about this new release.
2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid: Overview
The all-new 2025 Forester Hybrid is a compact SUV that combines a gas engine with electric motors for enhanced fuel efficiency. This specific model comes equipped with Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and offers a range of up to 581 miles on a full tank of fuel, surpassing many of its competitors in overall fuel economy.
Note: The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid marks the first-ever Subaru Forester Hybrid release.
A Gas Engine and Electric Motors
The most notable aspect of the 2025 Forester Hybrid's technology is its engine. For this SUV, you see a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine paired with electric motors and a lithium-ion battery. This helps give your Subaru Forester a better range, as well as improved city and highway MPG estimates, compared to previous non-hybrid years.
- Engine: 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER
- Battery: 1.1-kWh lithium-ion
- Horsepower: 194 horsepower
- Torque: 199 pound-feet
- Drivetrain: All-Wheel Drive
- Transmission: Lineartronic® CVT
Fuel Economy and EPA Estimates
Because this year's Subaru Forester Hybrid uses the technology it does, you can expect even better efficiency and EPA estimates. According to the EPA, the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid achieves 35 MPG combined, with 35 city miles per gallon and 34 on the highway. Total driving range for the Forester Hybrid is ~581 miles.
Note: By driving the 2025 Forester Hybrid, owners can expect to save, on average, $1,500 compared to other new car owners over five years. The annual expected fuel cost for this SUV is around $1,400.
Why the Subaru Forester Hybrid Stands Out
The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is one of the more advanced hybrids the brand has released, and its efficiency makes this a must-buy. As the first hybrid for the Forester SUV, you can expect better performance and gas savings with this version, as well as a partially electric powertrain.
Even better, the Subaru Forester Hybrid comes standard with AWD, giving you confident handling in various conditions. Its high-capacity lithium-ion battery is also reported to help boost efficiency by up to 40% better city fuel economy than non-hybrid models, which is perfect for daily commuters.
