Get ready to own the road and conquer the wild in the all-new Subaru Forester.
A truly capable hybrid
Take your adventures further with Subaru’s all-new Strong Hybrid e-Boxer system, combining a 2.5-litre e-Boxer engine with a high-output electric motor to deliver over 1000km* of range per tank.
Paired with Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive — mechanically linked to all four wheels—it delivers the confident grip, control, and capability you need to go wherever the road (or trail) leads.
*The Forester Hybrid’s range of over 1000km is an indicative figure only, based on laboratory results under ADR testing conditions. Final certified range figures may differ by variant and will be detailed upon final specification confirmation.
Reimagined design that invites adventure
Blending a head-turning new look with its signature rugged personality, the all-new Subaru Forester is a true expression of its proven capability.
Staying true to its roots, it features a bold new grille, striking headlight design, geometric trim accents, and muscular contours—while still delivering the outstanding driver visibility Subaru Forester is known for. Slimline pillars and expansive windows offer a commanding, panoramic view that keeps you connected to your surroundings. New intelligent cornering lights enhance visibility when turning, helping deliver a safer, more confident driving experience—so you can own the road and conquer the wild.
Safety that gives you peace of mind
With 220mm of ground clearance* and an enhanced X-Mode system that now activates even in reverse, the all-new Subaru Forester is engineered to tackle rough and uneven terrain with confidence.
This off-road capability is underpinned by Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, delivering constant traction and stability across all four wheels for maximum control in all conditions.
To further adapt to changing surfaces and driving styles, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) lets you fine-tune engine response with two distinct drive modes—so you’re always ready for whatever lies ahead.
*Ground clearance at kerb weight.
