If you’re looking for the perfect small crossover SUV to take you on road trips or around town running errands, consider the newly upgraded 2025 Subaru Forester.

About the 2025 Subaru Forester

The 2025 Subaru Forester is a sixth-generation crossover compact SUV in five trims: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring. Each trim builds on the previous one to offer more upscale features.

This roomy two-row SUV has supportive seats, a versatile cargo area, and technology everyone will appreciate.

Subaru has upgraded and refreshed the design and many specifications of the 2025 Forester over the 2024 model.  You’ll find an updated SUBARU BOXER 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque and a revised all-wheel-drive system that provides increased stability and traction control. For 2025, the Forester gets new seating materials and technologies for added comfort and convenience.

Interior Design and Comfort

As soon as you enter this SUV, you’ll be impressed by its upscale materials and roominess. All the seats are spacious and supportive, and all except the Base trim have a power-adjustable driver’s seat. The two lower trims have easy-to-clean cloth upholstery, the performance-style Sport trim has StarTex water-repellent upholstery, and the two upper models come with luxurious leather-trimmed upholstery.

Drivers will appreciate the large windshield that provides plenty of visibility, and the placement of the rear windows lets them see clearly out the back and side of this SUV.

Seating and Passenger Space

Subaru has designed the 2025 Forester with its occupants’ comfort in mind. This SUV has two rows of seats that can hold up to five people, with an overall passenger volume of 110.8 cubic feet on the base trim and 106.6 cubic feet on the upper trims.

The four upper trims have 40 inches of front headroom, 43.3 inches of front legroom, and 57.7 inches of shoulder room. The Base trim has a slightly larger front headroom of 41.2 inches. Back passengers won’t be disappointed with the Forester’s roominess. The back section has 37.7 inches of headroom, 39.4 inches of legroom, and 56.7 inches of shoulder room.

Versatile Cargo Space

With the Forester’s ample and versatile cargo space, you’ll have plenty of room to carry your supplies, luggage, and groceries. If you keep the second-row seats upright, you can get up to 29.6 cubic feet of storage space on the base trim and up to 27.5 cubic feet on the upper trims.

When you need extra room, fold the second row down, and you’ll have a generous 74.4 cubic feet of cargo space on the base trim or up to 69.1 cubic feet on the upper trims. In addition, you’ll find tie-down and attachment points in the cargo area to help secure your loads. With the foot-actuated hands-free rear liftgate, you can easily load your supplies into the back of this SUV. You can even carry long or bulky items with the 60/40-split folding rear seats.

Cutting-Edge Technology Features

Subaru is at the forefront of innovative technology and gives the 2025 Forester modern instrumentation, high-end sound systems, and updated mobile device charging systems. All trims come with the Subaru STARLINK multimedia infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen on the Base and an ample 11.6-inch version on the four upper trims.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the lineup. The Base trim has a four-speaker sound system, the Premium, Sport, and Limited have a six-speaker system, and the Touring has a Harman Kardon premium sound system.

Comfort and Convenience

On cold days, you’ll appreciate the heated front seats and steering wheel that come standard on the upper Forester trims. If you want heated outboard rear seats, choose the top Touring trim. Everyone will appreciate the standard dual-zone automatic climate control system and illuminated front and rear USB-A and USB-C charging ports to help keep their devices charged. All but the Base trim have 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability so that everyone can stay connected on the road.
