The All-New Subaru Forester Debuts at the Melbourne Motor Show
A new era of adventure has arrived — and it kicked off in style at the Melbourne Motor Show, where the all-new Subaru Forester made its public debut on April 5. Set to arrive in Australian showrooms mid-2025, this sixth-generation SUV is more capable, more efficient, and more refined than ever before — and it's coming soon to Tynan Subaru Sutherland.
A Forester Built for the Future
Subaru has reimagined its iconic mid-size SUV with a bolder exterior, smarter hybrid technology, and an interior packed with next-gen features. The Melbourne Motor Show was the perfect stage to showcase what’s coming next — and it's clear that the 2025 Forester is built for those who live life on and off the beaten track.
Introducing Subaru’s Next-Generation Hybrid: The Stronger e-Boxer
One of the most exciting updates to the new Forester is the debut of Subaru’s next-generation strong hybrid e-Boxer powertrain. Pairing a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine with an 88kW electric motor and 1.1kWh battery, the new hybrid system promises improved efficiency and responsiveness.
Unlike many hybrid SUVs, the Forester continues to use Subaru’s iconic Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, ensuring true grip and performance in all conditions. With over 1,000km of driving range per tank, this hybrid is ready to take you further.
Smarter, Safer, and Sharper Than Ever
The 2025 Subaru Forester doesn’t just bring performance to the forefront — it delivers a comprehensive upgrade to safety and technology too.
Key features include:
- Subaru’s latest EyeSight® Driver Assist System
- Emergency Driving Stop System for added peace of mind
- 360-Degree View Monitor
- Nine SRS airbags
- X-Mode for low-grip terrain
- Driver Monitoring System for enhanced attention alerts
Inside, the cabin has been completely overhauled with a sleek, modern design and a 11.6-inch high-definition touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, as well as wireless phone charging. Hybrid models will also include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for an even more connected driving experience.
Designed to Make an Impression
The new Forester’s exterior is just as impressive. A more muscular stance, redesigned grille, C-shaped LED headlights, and rugged wheel arches give it a commanding road presence. With 220mm ground clearance and roof rails designed for true adventure, it’s a vehicle that blends urban style with off-road spirit.
Molly Taylor and the Melbourne Motor Show Experience
Rally Champion Molly Taylor was on hand at the Melbourne Motor Show to celebrate the launch, and visitors had the chance to explore the full range of Subaru vehicles — and even book test drives to experience Subaru's legendary All-Wheel Drive in person.
