Subaru Canada proudly presented the all-new 2025 Forester at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show. This sixth-generation SUV marks a significant evolution in the Forester lineup, combining modern aesthetics with enhanced features and functionality. The Forester, a staple in Subaru’s SUV category for nearly three decades, has consistently been a top choice for Canadian drivers, and the 2025 model is poised to continue this legacy.

Revolutionary Design and Features

The 2025 Forester boasts a sleek, contemporary design that retains the rugged charm of its predecessors. The front showcases a bold grille blending into compact LED headlights, creating an integrated shield effect. The SUV’s shoulder lines and wheel arches emphasize its strength and off-road capabilities, while the steep rear glass enhances cargo capacity. The interior features a prominent multimedia system with an integrated centre information display, offering a modern and ergonomic environment.

Safety and Technology Innovations

Safety remains a cornerstone of Subaru’s philosophy, and the 2025 Forester is no exception. It introduces advanced features like the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, now standard across all trims. This technology includes an improved wide-angle mono camera, faster operation, and a broader field of view. The 2025 Forester also debuts the Emergency Stop Assist, enhancing safety for unresponsive drivers using Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist. For added safety, the SUV includes Automatic Emergency Steering, standard on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Performance and Capability

The 2025 Forester comes equipped with a 2.5-litre SUBARU BOXER® engine, delivering 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. All trims feature a Lineartronic CVT with smoother and quieter performance. Enhanced with standard Active Torque Vectoring and the SI-Drive performance management system, the Forester offers superior driving dynamics. Its steering system, inspired by the WRX’s dual-pinion electronic power steering rack, provides a direct and responsive driving experience.

Versatility and Comfort

The new Forester is designed to offer the perfect blend of SUV capability and car-like comfort. With a ground clearance of 8.7 inches, it’s adept at handling off-road adventures while maintaining easy entry and exit for passengers. The cabin focuses on passenger interaction, with improved head and legroom, a supportive front seat design, and a concentrated effort on sound dampening for a quieter ride. The climate control system has been updated for improved comfort and efficiency.
