The more extensive or complicated the redesign, the higher the risk of reliability problems. The Forester has excellent outward visibility, a roomy interior, and a comfortable ride. The most noticeable improvement is a quieter engine. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder has a rather abrupt initial launch but at times feels underpowered. It returned a commendable 29 mpg overall. The Forester rides smoothly, and handling is sound and secure but isn't sporty. The front seats are comfortable, though the bottom cushion may prove too short for longer-legged drivers. The rear seat is roomy, and cargo space is generous. Most controls are simple, but multiple steps are required for some climate functions through the touchscreen. BSW and RCTW aren't available on the Base version and are only optional on the second-tier Premium. A hybrid model is available. An off-road focused Wilderness trim is added for 2026.

The more extensive or complicated the redesign, the higher the risk of reliability problems. The redesigned 2025 Subaru Forester incorporates a host of new and improved safety technology onto a stiffened chassis that the automaker says helps achieving a quieter ride. Although the aesthetic presence of the new model skews more brawny--thanks to a beefier grille, more squinty headlamps, pronounced and plastic-cladded fender arches, and distinct haunches--it's no surprise that cosmetic changes are relatively minor. The Forester has been a winner for Subaru, providing owners with standard all-wheel drive, big, high-visibility windows, and easy utility. Now the automaker has enhanced its standard active safety features with pedestrian and cyclist detection and a rear seat occupant alert system, and offers driver monitoring and emergency steering as optional equipment. A more fuel-efficient hybrid and off-road focused Wilderness versions are available. 2025 Subaru Forester Retail Price $25,800 - $34,925 EPA MPG 29 mpg Reliability Verdict / 100 Owner Satisfaction / 100 2019-2024 2019 Model Redesign Year 2019 Model Redesign Year The redesign year indicates that the car is either introduced for the first time or an existing model has been significantly re-engineered.

The more extensive or complicated the redesign, the higher the risk of reliability problems. Over its various iterations, Subaru has had a winning formula with the Forester. The 2019 redesign builds upon that and is even better. This popular small SUV delivers a combination of roomy interior, excellent visibility, commendable fuel economy, simple controls, comfortable ride and responsive handling. The 2.5-liter four cylinder, combined with the continuously variable automatic transmission yielded 28 mpg overall, which is among the best in class. But acceleration isn't exhilarating and the engine's noise isn'
