Video Description
The 2025 Subaru Forester is now available as a hybrid, and it’s more refined than ever. It may look like the Forester you know, but this version includes an upgraded infotainment system, more sound insulation, blind spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Plus, it features Subaru’s next-gen hybrid powertrain with standard all-wheel drive.
