Subaru's Next Big Arrival: The Forester Hybrid in 2025
Forester Hybrid Arriving in Mid-2025
The highly anticipated Forester Hybrid is scheduled to arrive in mid-2025, adding an electrified option to Subaru's lineup. While exact details haven't been disclosed, Subaru has confirmed that the hybrid will be powered by a combination of Toyota's electric motor and battery technology, complementing Subaru's signature boxer engine.
Efficiency and Performance Meets AWD
While specific power output figures are still unknown, it is expected that the Forester Hybrid will offer more power than its gas-only counterpart. This could potentially fill the void left by the discontinued turbocharged Forester XT. The hybrid system will likely prioritize efficiency while retaining Subaru's renowned all-wheel-drive system.
Return to the Hybrid Market
The introduction of the Forester Hybrid marks Subaru's reentry into the hybrid market after discontinuing the electric Crosstrek in 2023. Subaru and Toyota's partnership will play a key role in the hybrid's development, with the new model expected to feature a 2.5-liter boxer-four engine paired with a parallel electric motor arrangement, allowing for short periods of electric-only driving.

Further information regarding the powertrain, performance, and additional features of the Forester Hybrid will be revealed in due course. Subaru enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike can anticipate an exciting and efficient hybrid SUV option in the coming years.
