The 2025 Subaru Forester: Built for Every Journey
The 2025 Forester is engineered to excel in every category, from performance and efficiency to safety and spaciousness. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) provides better traction and control in all conditions, while an advanced suite of safety technology offers peace of mind on every drive. Let’s break down how the Forester compares to its biggest rivals.
Forester vs. the Competition: What Sets It Apart?
Superior Space & Comfort
The Forester offers one of the most spacious interiors in its class, ensuring comfort for both drivers and passengers:
- Passenger Volume: 110.8 cubic feet—more than the Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, and Mazda CX-5.
- Front Legroom: 43.3 inches—ideal for taller drivers.
- Cargo Capacity: 74.4 cubic feet with rear seats folded, surpassing many competitors.
The available panoramic power moonroof and premium interior materials create an open, airy cabin that enhances every trip. Plus, the power rear gate makes loading and unloading cargo effortless.
Performance & Fuel Efficiency
Equipped with a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® engine, the Forester delivers 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque while maintaining an impressive fuel economy of 33 mpg highway and 26 mpg city. This beats many competitors in efficiency without sacrificing power or capability.
And with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the Forester is ready for off-road adventures—more than the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V offer.
Industry-Leading Safety Technology
The 2025 Forester comes with Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, a suite of advanced safety features that includes:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
- Pre-Collision Braking & Automatic Emergency Steering
- DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System
- Blind-Spot Detection & Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
These features make the Forester one of the safest SUVs on the road, consistently outperforming rivals like the Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape in crash test ratings.
