Redesigned 2025 Subaru Forester starts at $31,090, up 9.3%

When it arrives at dealerships this spring, the redesigned 2025 Subaru Forester will start at $31,090, including shipping, a 9.3 percent jump from the outgoing 2024 base model, Subaru of America said Thursday.

The sixth-generation Forester compact crossover will keep its hallmark shape and greenhouse, but it will have a smoother exterior design, including wider wheel arches. Inside, the Forester will feature a new 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system on all but the base trim, a quieter cabin and more supportive seats. Subaru's EyeSight driver-assistance system comes standard on all trims.

Subaru will initially offer the 2025 Forester in five trims: base, Premium, Sport, Limited and Touring. A 2024 model of the Forester will continue, with the Wilderness trim, which the automaker launched in 2021 as an overlanding subbrand. Starting prices for the higher trim levels, including shipping, are: Premium, $33,390; Sport, $35,890; Limited, $37,390; and Touring, $41,390.

An optional hybrid powertrain, sourced from Toyota, won't be available until next year.

Through March, Forester sales in the U.S. were 48,546, up 60 percent over the same period last year, when inventories were still constrained.
