The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is poised to redefine what you expect from a compact SUV. Set to launch later this year, this new hybrid model will blend the iconic features you’ve come to love about the Forester with an innovative powertrain designed for exceptional fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Drivers in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Estero, FL, can learn about this futuristic SUV here, and then contact Subaru of Fort Myers to schedule a test drive once it becomes available.
A New Era of Hybrid Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Forester Hybrid will be powered by Subaru’s all-new hybrid system. According to the official Subaru preview, the vehicle will switch seamlessly between a SUBARU BOXER® gas engine and electric motors to maximize performance and efficiency.
This intelligent system will be engineered to provide up to 40 percent better city fuel economy than conventional models—ideal for urban commuting and stop‐and‐go traffic. With a remarkable range of up to 581 miles on a single tank of gas, you can look forward to fewer stops at the pump and more time exploring*.
Legendary All-Wheel Drive for Every Adventure
Subaru has long been synonymous with its renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. The new Forester Hybrid will continue this tradition by equipping the vehicle with a standard all-wheel drive that monitors acceleration, braking, and cornering.
In real-world conditions—whether navigating snowy mountain roads, slick city streets, or rugged off-road trails—the system automatically distributes power to the wheels with the best grip.
On the outside, the 2025 Forester Hybrid will make a statement. It will feature a design that balances power with elegance—a modern interpretation of a classic Subaru SUV. Expect contoured lines, prominent fenders, and eye-catching geometric trim accents that set it apart from the crowd.
An exclusive black roof paint option is expected further to distinguish the hybrid model from its conventional siblings, giving it a refined yet rugged look.
Step inside, and you’ll discover a cabin meticulously designed for comfort and versatility. The Forester Hybrid interior will be a modern, spacious retreat featuring premium soft-touch materials and animal-free upholstery. With up to 106.6 cubic feet of passenger room and a versatile cargo area of up to 69.1 cubic feet, this SUV will easily accommodate your daily errands and weekend adventures.
Standard cabin technology will include a fully digital instrument cluster and an 11.6-inch high-resolution touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, along with wireless device charging, will ensure that your connected lifestyle is seamlessly supported, keeping you entertained and informed, no matter where the journey leads.
Safety remains at the forefront of Subaru’s design philosophy. The 2025 Forester Hybrid will come equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems such as EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology.
Additionally, the vehicle will offer sensors for Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, ensuring your safety is never compromised.
A fully digital instrument cluster will also provide real-time feedback on your vehicle’s efficiency and performance, letting you monitor everything from powertrain operation to navigation data—all contributing to a safer, more informed driving experience.
