“At this time, we are unable to provide any information regarding the technical specifications or performance. However, Subaru of America COO Jeff Walters revealed that the powertrain for the 2025 Subaru Forester will utilize Toyota-sourced batteries and electrical components along with a boxer engine.”

Subaru and Toyota have a history of collaborating on various projects, including the 86 and BRZ, Crosstrek Hybrid, and most recently the second-generation BRZ and GR86, as well as the bZ4X and Solterra. Their next joint endeavor will be the development of the 2025 Subaru Forester hybrid.

During the LA Auto Show 2023, Subaru unveiled the sixth-generation Forester, featuring an enlarged body, a more rigid structure, an advanced EyeSight ADAS system, and a redesigned exterior that draws similarities to the Ford Explorer.

The interior of the all-new Forester boasts an infotainment system anchored by a vertically oriented touchscreen display on the dashboard, reducing the number of physical controls. The base model integrates a 7-inch screen, while higher-end variants incorporate an 11.6-inch screen, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Notably, the 2024 Forester continues to feature analog gauges, akin to its predecessor, rather than adopting a fully digital gauge cluster. The three-spoke, leather-wrapped steering wheel incorporates various control buttons.

All 2024 Forester models are equipped with a panoramic sunroof and a power-operated tailgate activated by a foot sensor.

Upon its release in the US market, the new Forester will come equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.5L boxer 4-cylinder engine. This engine generates a maximum power output of 180 horsepower, representing a slight decrease of 2 horsepower compared to its predecessor. However, the maximum torque has been increased from 239 Nm to 241 Nm.
