For 2025, the Subaru Forester arrives redesigned and more capable, comfortable, and ready for anything than ever before. And that’s saying quite a lot; the Forester has long represented the ultimate in compact SUV versatility and capability, dominating trails and city streets with equal prowess.
The new Subaru Forester is competitively spacious, versatile, and well-equipped across everything that counts, and it is a stylish machine that’ll make every drive less ordinary. See it in action at Hughes Subaru in Athens, GA.
Under the hood of the Subaru Forester, you find a standard 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine with 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. The renowned Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system has been revised for the new model year, yielding a faster response time, more agile handling, and better control overall.
The new Subaru Forester also boasts 8.7 inches of ground clearance and a specially designed, 10%-stiffer chassis, only enhancing this SUV’s terrain-conquering capabilities. For the ultimate all-terrain model, the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness Edition is still available, continuing in production alongside the new 2025 model.
The 2025 Subaru Forester towing capacity is a stout 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. And, with a maximum of 74.4 cubic feet of cargo room and up to an EPA-estimated 26/33 MPG (City/Highway),1 this SUV can rise to meet any challenge. Plus, the Subaru Forester gas tank size is 16.6 gallons to maximize efficiency.
Five Subaru Forester trims are included in the redesign (in addition to the 2024-design new Forester Wilderness for sale), and each has its own set of interior amenities. The rear seats boast a 60/40-split flat-folding feature, with availability for one-touch folding, heating, and reclining functions. The driver’s seat has manual adjustability in the base trim, with 10-way power adjustability in the remaining models. The seating surface options include cloth, StarTex, and leather.
With available features like a panoramic moonroof, an 11.6-inch touch-screen display, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a Harman Kardon® sound system, driving a Subaru Forester down U.S. 29 near Lawrenceville, GA, can be luxurious, too.
Like the new Outback for sale, the Forester offers additional conveniences such as keyless access, auto up/down windows, illuminated USB-C ports, cargo tie-down hooks, and underfloor storage.
There’s up to 110.8 cubic feet of passenger volume and 43.3 inches of front and 39.4 inches of rear legroom in the Subaru Forester for sale, making it easy for everyone to stretch out.
From the new Forester to the new Subaru Ascent for sale, all Subaru SUV models stand for safety. While the redesigned Forester has not yet been rated, the 2024 Subaru Forester earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick award2 and shares many attributes with the newly redesigned model.

The Outback is bigger than the Forester overall. The 2025 Subaru Forester represents excellent space and power for a compact SUV, and the Outback brings that philosophy into the larger midsize SUV segment. The Outback is 8.6 inches longer and up to 2.6 inches wider; the Forester is up to 2 inches taller. Interior cargo space is fairly even between them.
The Subaru Forester is a vehicle that holds its value with minimal depreciation, earning a “Great” J.D. Power three-year resale rating of 86 out of 100.3 This is due to the inherent reliability, versatility, and desirability of the model. Subaru Forester service is also affordable, making ownership less daunting and more convenient, in turn ensuring optimal resale value.
The Forester XT was discontinued in 2019, but when it was on sale, the difference was its inclusion of a turbocharged engine. The 2019 Subaru Forester XT made more power but, in exchange, delivered lower MPG than the non-XT Forester trims of the same year. The older Forester XT models are a good choice for fun in a family-friendly compact SUV.
