Subaru of America revealed today the 2025 Forester at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show. Generation six comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. Options include a tablet-style 11.6-inch STARLINK® Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Pricing will be announced closer to its planned on sale date in spring 2024. The Forester has been one of the bestselling Subaru vehicles for nearly 30 years, with more than 2.6 million sold in the US. It also debuts, finally, a kick sensor-activated Hands-Free Power Rear Gate. (AutoInformed: Subaru Tweaks 2022 Forester, adds Wilderness)
“The all-new 2025 Forester was designed to combine the capability and versatility of a large SUV with the comfort and efficiency of a car. The 8.7-inch ground clearance for all Forester models is taller than many SUVs, yet it maintains a comfortably low step-in height for both front- and rear-passenger entry,” Subaru said.
The 2025 Forester will be available in Base, Premium, Sport, Limited and Touring trim levels. Several functional aerodynamic improvements are said to enhance the SUV’s performance and stability. An air outlet at the trailing edge of the front wheel opening allows air to exit from the wheel well more freely, contributing to reduced lift on the front tires and improved driving stability.
The interior has a prominent multimedia system with integrated center information display. Contoured dash elements and textured trim pieces are claimed to be designed to avoid visible damage from daily use. A dark headliner also hides scuffs from loading/unloading passengers and cargo. Rear dark-tint privacy glass is standard.
The Subaru Global Platform for the 2025 Forester is said to have 10% higher torsional rigidity. A full inner frame construction with stronger welding techniques and additional structural adhesive (from approximately 26.2 feet to 88.5 feet) are said to increase body rigidity at a lighter weight. These updates deliver improved dynamic performance, a smoother ride and a quieter cabin, according to Subaru.
Standard on all 2025 Forester models is the latest version of the award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. This version of the EyeSight system operates more smoothly and quickly and under a greater range of conditions than prior versions. Because of a wider field of view, updated control software, and the addition of an electric brake booster. EyeSight can identify cyclists and pedestrians at intersections sooner and, when necessary, alerts the driver and applies braking to avoid collisions. Additional active safety features are optional, including Reverse Automatic Braking as well as Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
For the first time on a Subaru, Emergency Stop Assist activates if the driver becomes unresponsive to warnings while using Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control. The new standard safety feature will stop the vehicle, activate the hazard lights, and unlock the doors. SUBARU STARLINK® Connected Services will then place a call to emergency services.
Standard across the model line is a Rear Seat Reminder that helps prevent child and pet entrapment by alerting the driver to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle. Automatic Emergency Steering is included on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. This safety feature works with EyeSight and Blind-Spot Detection to assist with steering control to help avoid a collision within a lane at speeds slower than 50 mph.
Optional Surround View Monitor offers a 360-degree overhead view of the vehicle and its surroundings while parking. The system combines images from four vehicle cameras to create a single image with a bird’s-eye view of the area around the entire vehicle. The DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System is standard on Touring trim. The system uses a camera angled at the driver’s face and facial recognition software to monitor fatigue or lack of attention.
