Over the last three decades, the Subaru Forester has been one of the automaker’s best-selling vehicles. That trend won’t change any time soon, because the redesigned 2025 Subaru Forester takes this compact SUV to new heights. Upgrades and additions can be found in virtually every part of this automobile. See them for yourself with a visit to Kirby Subaru of Ventura.

What’s New?

The interior and exterior design of the 2025 Subaru Forester have been refreshed for a sleeker and more stylish look. Highlights on the outside include a new front fascia that debuts the updated Subaru “star cluster” emblem. Meanwhile, the cabin of this new Subaru SUV integrates more comfortable front seats and increased sound dampening for a quieter ride. 

Performance is another category with multiple enhancements. A 10 percent stiffer chassis boosts handling and ride quality, working in tandem with a new steering system and a retuned all-wheel drive system for increased stability. And at the center of it all, the engine receives revisions that make it lighter and more efficient. 

Powertrain

All five 2025 Subaru Forester trims pair all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is supplemented by performance-enhancing features such as active torque vectoring and SI-Drive® performance management. Select trims also come with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a more hands-on driving experience.

Infotainment

The Subaru brand’s latest 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen is available for the first time on the 2025 Subaru Forester, and it’s standard on all trims except the entry-level 2025 Subaru Forester Base. This 11.6-inch display offers standard features such as satellite radio and wireless smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and can be augmented with options such as TomTom® voice-activated navigation.

Safety

Safety-wise, this redesigned SUV equips the latest version of the acclaimed EyeSight® Driver Assist platform. Demo this new system with a Ventura, CA, Subaru dealer and you’ll see that it’s faster, smoother, and operates under a greater range of conditions. It also introduces new safety technologies such as emergency stop assist, a surround-view parking camera, and a digital rearview mirror.
