While you can't plug in a Subaru Forester Hybrid SUV, it comes equipped with a self-charging system, meaning that battery power is siphoned from the energy created when you drive. This is thanks to energy generated by the engine and by a regenerative braking system. While you can't manually switch your SUV to all-electric mode, it can sometimes use electric power temporarily, optimizing fuel efficiency.
This system is ideal for drivers who want to travel further while also reducing tailpipe emissions on the environment. It also provides versatility – the Forester Hybrid unlocks the fullest engine potential in steep terrain, but switches over to all-electric power when idling in traffic. Find out more about how this popular SUV works by contacting our knowledgeable sales team.

Four trim levels comprise the Subaru Forester Hybrid lineup. These include:
The Premium Hybrid kicks things off with sought-after features in a standard model: keyless access with push-button start, a panoramic power moonroof, and a power rear gate. Moving up to the Sport Hybrid earns you larger, 19-inch wheels, StarTex upholstery, and a Harman Kardon® premium audio system.
The Limited Hybrid, second-to-top trim, comes with a 10-way power driver's seat and an eight-way power front passenger seat, and Blind-Spot Detection, while the Touring Hybrid brings leather-trimmed seating and a 360-Degree Surround-View Mirror to the table. Always be sure to check on Subaru offers if the trim you like is just outside of your budget.
You can also configure your SUV with a diverse palette of color options, including showstoppers such as Daybreak Blue Pearl and familiar classics such as Crystal Black Silica.
From its advanced AWD system to a heightened max fuel efficiency of 35/34 MPG (City/Highway),3 the Subaru Forester Hybrid specs do not fail to impress. A 2.5-liter DOHC engine, paired with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor, produces 162 horsepower and a maximum torque of 199 pound-feet. The transmission is a Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with a six-speed hybrid-type manual mode. All of these comprehensive systems contribute to a smooth ride quality while also saving you money at the pump.
Does your lifestyle require occasional towing for weekend excursions? You'll be pleased to know that the Subaru Forester Hybrid has a sufficient 1,500-pound towing capacity when properly equipped.
When you get behind the wheel of this model here at Hughes Subaru, you'll have an opportunity to dive into the attributes that make up its gorgeous cabin, from the roomy dimensions to the cutting-edge tech.
Stepping inside the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is an exciting experience, regardless of your trim level. Design-forward details and accents create a cabin that is both intuitive and visually appealing. Cloth material is the standard upholstery, but you can spring for the available StarTex or leather trim on upper trim levels.
Standard amenities include heated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and a 12.3-inch configurable fully-digital instrument cluster. Upper trims gain more luxurious touches like a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel and ventilated front seats.
At 183.3 inches long, 72.0 inches wide, and 68.1 inches tall, the Subaru Forester Hybrid carries a compact, easy-to-manuever frame. Inside, this SUV offers 106.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, which is more than what you would find in other competing models. For instance, when you compare the Subaru Forester Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, it has more than 7 cubic feet of passenger volume than the Toyota. Despite its smaller exterior body, it provides enough room for each passenger to sit back and relax, even on long drives and extended family road trips – 43.3 inches of front legroom and 39.4 inches of rear legroom make sure of that!
The 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats give your interior space versatility, and with the back row folded down, you'll enjoy up to 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space. We especially appreciate its wide rear gate and standard hands-free power rear gate, which makes loading a breeze.
When it comes to fuel economy, the new Subaru Forester Hybrid for sale keeps it simple with one impressive rating: 35/34 MPG (City/Highway).3 Not only does this number save you money, but it also saves you time you would have otherwise spent at the fuel pump. The Subaru Forester Hybrid is an adventure SUV at its core, and its high fuel mileage rating means you can plan your next camping trip without worrying about excessive interruptions.
What's more, regenerative braking and the system that transfers engine heat into power have got your back, boosting your SUV's efficiency as you drive. You can learn more about this impressive setup by contacting our team of Subaru specialists for a deeper discussion.
