Introducing the All-New 2025 Subaru Forester: Smarter, Stronger, and More Efficient Than Ever

Tynan Subaru is excited to announce the arrival of the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester, the first full redesign in seven years—and it’s been worth the wait. With a significantly enhanced hybrid system, improved equipment across the range, and refreshed styling inside and out, the new Forester is a compelling choice for Australians seeking a versatile, tech-packed, and all-weather capable SUV.

A Game-Changing Hybrid Evolution

Leading the charge is Subaru’s all-new strong hybrid system, co-developed with Toyota. Unlike Toyota's hybrid approach that uses an electric-only rear axle, Subaru retains its iconic symmetrical all-wheel-drive (AWD) system across all variants—including hybrids. This means drivers can enjoy electric, petrol, or combined power across all four wheels, ensuring optimal traction no matter the terrain.

The hybrid models pair a 2.5-litre Subaru boxer engine with a 90kW electric motor and a 1.1kWh battery, delivering a combined 145kW of power. Fuel efficiency has improved, with the hybrid now rated at just 6.2L/100km, a 0.5L/100km improvement over the previous generation.

Simpler, Smarter Line-Up

Tynan Subaru customers will appreciate the clearer model structure for 2025. Buyers can choose from four petrol-only and three hybrid variants:

Petrol-only:

• Forester AWD
• Forester AWD Premium
• Forester AWD Sport
• Forester AWD Touring

Hybrid:

• Forester AWD Hybrid
• Forester AWD Hybrid Sport
• Forester AWD Hybrid Touring

Each model comes standard with Subaru’s AWD system, CVT transmission, and a generous suite of comfort, technology, and safety features.

Pricing and Value

While prices have risen across the board, the Forester now offers more features than ever before. Entry-level models start from $43,490 plus on-road costs, with the top-spec Forester Hybrid Touring coming in above $60,000 drive-away.

Here’s a quick look at starting prices (before on-road costs):

• Forester AWD: $43,490
• Forester AWD Premium: $46,490
• Forester AWD Sport: $48,490
• Forester AWD Touring: $50,990
• Forester AWD Hybrid: $46,490
• Forester AWD Hybrid Sport: $54,990
• Forester AWD Hybrid Touring: $55,990

Cutting-Edge Technology

Subaru has modernised the Forester cabin with the latest tech. All models now come standard with:

• 11.6-inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Wireless phone charging
• 360-degree cameras
• Advanced EyeSight driver assist technology, including adaptive cruise control, lane centring, and autonomous emergency braking

Higher trims introduce a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and facial recognition for driver profile and seat/mirror adjustment.

Enhanced Safety and Comfort

The 2025 Forester is engineered with safety and comfort in mind. Subaru has redesigned seats with anatomy-based support to reduce fatigue and improve posture. Visibility has also been improved thanks to slimmer windscreen pillars and revised rear-quarter panel designs. Safety features include:

• Nine airbags
• Emergency Driving Stop System
• Traffic sign recognition
• Blind spot monitoring
• Reverse automatic braking

Unique Highlights by Trim

• Forester Sport: Adds a sunroof, unique green interior accents, and two-mode X-Mode for enhanced off-road capability.
• Hybrid Sport: Features 19-inch bronze alloy wheels, bronze instrument finishes, and exclusive interior upgrades.
• Touring: Tops the range with ventilated Ultrasuede/leather seats, premium stitching, and all available tech upgrades.

Subaru Global Platform and Versatility

Built on a revised Subaru Global Platform, the 2025 Forester offers a stronger, quieter, and more comfortable ride. While petrol models include a full-size spare, hybrids use a tyre repair kit, with spare wheel accessories available for order at Tynan Subaru.
