Subaru has unveiled its first hybrid Forester for the U.S. market, set to arrive in spring 2025. The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid introduces a new series-parallel hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer engine with electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery.

Consumer Reports previews the new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid, sharing details about features, power, fuel economy, price, and safety equipment.

No huge changes come under the skin when compared to the outgoing 2025 Forester Wilderness; 2026 models actually lose two horsepower, down to 180, but gain two pound-feet of torque, up to 178. Subaru says the engine and transmission have been retuned to make more of that power accessible at lower engine speeds.

Improved ground clearance, and recalibrated engine and transmission now make the new 2026 Forester Wilderness more capable off-road than before.
