Subaru added the Forester compact crossover to the U.S. lineup in 1997, and it has been a stalwart for the brand since. The last major refresh was for the 2022 model year, followed by some minor updates for 2024, and now for 2025 Subaru is introducing a sleek new sixth-generation Forester with a choice of five trim levels. Designers worked overtime to create a more stylish look both inside and out for the traditionally dowdy SUV, while the engineers are finally adding a hybrid to the powertrain options for North American buyers who’d lost patience and turned to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 hybrids for better fuel economy (though they’ll have to wait until spring 2025 for it to arrive).
