    Subaru Forester Hybrid

    Latest Model

    2025 Model Redesign Year
    The Forester, a perennial high-scorer in CR's compact SUV ratings, is available for the first time in hybrid form. An electric motor backed by a lithium-ion battery augments its 2.5-liter flat-four engine. That hybrid powertrain increases horsepower to 194 compared with 180 for the regular Forester. We measured 34 mpg overall, a good bump from the 29 mpg overall that we recorded on the regular Forester we tested. The Hybrid retains all of the Forester's key virtues, including a comfortable ride, excellent outward visibility, and a roomy rear seat. But the Hybrid is quieter than the regular model, and benefits from a more pleasant initial takeoff, thanks to the electric drive.
    It can also propel itself on electric power alone at low speeds. Unlike the conventionally-powered Forester, all hybrid trims come standard with BSW and RCTW.
