Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Forester derives its performance from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 180 horsepower. The Forester sends power through a Lineartronic CVT with an 8-speed manual shift mode and steering wheel paddle shifters for sporty driving dynamics.
Subaru's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard, providing ample grip on slippery roads around Springfield. For navigating steep hills, the Forester offers X-MODE with Hill Descent Control to maintain vehicle composure on declines.
Technology and Safety
Inside the tech-savvy cabin, a dual 7-inch or an 11.6-inch touchscreen display provides access to smartphone integration, navigation, and infotainment features. The standard Subaru STARLINK system includes a multimedia touchscreen, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration, and over-the-air updates.
For added peace of mind, the Forester comes equipped with Subaru's EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology suite as standard equipment. This advanced system includes pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, lane centering assist, and other innovative features. Additional driver-assistive options, like blind-spot detection with rear cross-traffic alert, help you change lanes and reverse confidently. A rear-view camera comes standard for easy parking and added visibility.
Exterior and Interior
The 2025 Forester combines rugged capability with refined styling cues like LED headlights, black wheel arch cladding, and raised 8.7 inches of ground clearance. Inside, passengers can appreciate available amenities like heated front seats, leather-appointed upholstery, and a power panoramic moonroof.
With the 60/40 split folding rear seats folded down, the Forester provides up to 74.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity for your gear. Whether you need ample cargo space for daily errands or weekend getaways to Belchertown, the versatile Forester delivers.
