2025 Subaru Forester HYBRID Touring FULL Review /// Refined and Efficient
Subaru’s latest generation Forester improves on capability, cargo space and a very small tech increase. But the new Forester Hybrid adds more refinement, an exclusive digital cluster, more paint options, and improved MPG. But does it still stand out in a crowded segment? I drove this 2025 Hybrid Touring, priced around $43k. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

+Improved City MPG and powertrain smoothness thanks to the Hybrid. Maintains Subaru’s signature AWD.
+No compromise on cargo or passenger space.
Lows:
-MPG is around 5MPG lower than competitors, as is the combined power figure.
-Main infotainment suffers from an older design and slower processor.
#ACNCarScore – 7.5/10 The Hybrid Forester is truly the smoothest and most efficient version yet while maintaining legendary all weather capability, safety, and cargo space. But, it arrives in a segment FILLED with established hybrid competition.
