Specs at a Glance
The 2025 Subaru Forester continues to be a top choice among small SUVs for outdoor enthusiasts. It's not only equipped to tackle off-road adventures but also offers excellent comfort for daily driving. If you're considering a new Forester, you may find yourself choosing between the Forester Base and Forester Premium. Let's explore the differences between these two trims.
Performance
Both the Forester Base and Premium deliver the same impressive performance. They share a 2.5-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission. Subaru's Symmetrical AWD system is standard across both trims, ensuring optimal traction.
While the Forester Base is capable off-road, the Premium trim adds some rugged enhancements. Subaru's X-Mode improves traction by keeping the transmission in lower gear during steep climbs and challenging terrain, and hill descent control is included for added control on downgrades.
Appearance
For 2025, the Forester sports an updated exterior design. The Base trim showcases a new front fascia with a bold grille and modern LED headlights, complemented by 17-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires.
The Forester Premium offers some additional styling features that set it apart from the Base model. It comes equipped with LED fog lights, dark gray-finish side mirrors, and is available in extra exterior colors like Autumn Green Metallic and River Rock Pearl.
Features
The Forester Base comes well-equipped with essential features, including the Starlink Multimedia system, which has dual 7.0-inch displays and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Subaru's EyeSight driver-assistance suite is standard, along with Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, dual-zone automatic climate control, and steering wheel controls.
Stepping up to the Forester Premium enhances the driving experience with a 10-way power driver's seat and reclining rear seatbacks. The Premium trim also upgrades to a larger 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration. Additional features include keyless access with push-button start, a six-speaker audio system, and a built-in 4G Wi-Fi hotspot.
