Timmons Subaru is thrilled to share the exciting news about the debut of the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester, unveiled at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show. This sixth-generation SUV is a testament to Subaru's commitment to innovation, safety, and design excellence. The 2025 Forester brings a host of advanced features, a sleek design, and enhanced ride comfort, making it a standout choice in the SUV market.
A Striking Design Evolution
The 2025 Forester showcases a fresh and contemporary design while staying true to the rugged aesthetics that have defined its predecessors. The front of the vehicle boasts a bold grille seamlessly merging into compact LED headlights, creating an integrated shield effect. The SUV's bold shoulder lines and prominent wheel arches emphasize its off-road capability, while the rear glass design enhances cargo capacity.
Aerodynamic improvements contribute to improved performance and stability. The enhanced air outlet at the front wheel opening reduces lift on the front tires, enhancing driving stability. The exterior design is complemented by functional features like standard front, side, and rear underguards with color finish options according to trim level.
Safety Redefined
Safety takes center stage in the 2025 Forester with the Subaru Global Platform featuring a 10% stiffer chassis, contributing to better body rigidity and a quieter cabin. The latest EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, standard on all trims, operates more smoothly and quickly, identifying cyclists and pedestrians at intersections and applying braking when needed.
New safety features include Emergency Stop Assist, which intervenes if the driver becomes unresponsive during Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control use, ensuring a safe stop with hazard lights and door unlocking. The Rear Seat Reminder is standard across all trims, preventing child and pet entrapment. The Surround View Monitor enhances situational awareness during parking, providing a 360-degree overhead view.
Capability and Versatility at Its Core
Designed to blend the capability of an SUV with the comfort of a car, the 2025 Forester features an 8.7-inch ground clearance, offering better control on and off-road. The Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with improved response time and X-MODE with Hill Descent Control ensures maximum wheel control in adverse conditions.
Performance and Handling
All trim levels are powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, delivering 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. The Lineartronic CVT provides smoother and quieter performance, with higher trims featuring manual mode with paddle shifters for more control.
The enhanced steering, featuring a version of the WRX’s dual-pinion electronic power steering rack, provides a direct and natural feel, enhancing responsiveness.
Comfort and Convenience
The cabin focuses on passenger comfort, featuring ample head and legroom, supportive front seats, and improved sound dampening for a quieter ride. The climate control system prioritizes occupied seats for better comfort and fuel efficiency.
New convenience features include a kick sensor-activated Hands-Free Power Rear Gate, allowing automatic opening and closing by placing a foot under the rear bumper cover. All trim levels come with a comprehensive list of standard features, with available upgrades like a wireless phone charger, all-weather package, and ventilated front seats in the Touring trim.
Subaru In-Vehicle Technology
The 2025 Forester introduces the SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a full-screen display. The system functions as a center information display, integrating audio, climate, and vehicle controls. Additional features include Bluetooth connectivity, SiriusXM All-Access Radio, and SiriusXM Travel Link.
The Subaru STARLINK Safety and Security Connected Services provide enhanced safety features and convenience services, including SOS Emergency Assistance and Remote Vehicle Configuration.
Award-Winning Legacy
The Subaru Forester continues its legacy of safety and reliability, earning multiple Kelley Blue Book awards, including the 2023 Best Resale Value Award and 5-Year Cost to Own Award.
Pricing for the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester will be announced closer to its on-sale date in spring 2024. Stay tuned to Timmons Subaru for more updates on this groundbreaking SUV that redefines the driving experience.
