Subaru Preview All-New Forester [Photo Gallery]

Subaru has released details of the All-New Subaru Forester, which is set to be launched into the UK market in Spring 2025.

The Forester has been a key model in the Subaru lineup since it was first launched in February 1997. With over 5 million units sold globally over the past 27 years, and currently the third-biggest-selling Subaru model in Europe, the all-new Forester preserves the heritage of this capable, go-anywhere SUV, that has been redesigned in a more sophisticated and refined package.

The sixth generation Subaru Forester’s exterior has been significantly remodelled from its predecessors. The vehicle features a wider and sharper-looking front design, complimented by a bold-shaped grille, connecting to signature headlamps. A strong side profile further emphasises the vehicle’s rugged off-road presence.

The all-new Forester features improved on-road driving dynamics and off-road capability and will be powered by Subaru’s e-BOXER mild-hybrid powertrain. An optimised direct-injection 2.0-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder normally aspirated petrol engine, that is paired with a Lineartronic transmission.   

For any off-road use, the Forester is equipped with a dual-function X-MODE®, with the motor assist now also applied when reversing. The all-terrain system is also complete with Hill Descent Control, maximising control and traction on slippery surfaces or steep inclines. Additionally, the all-new Forester will benefit from a class-leading ground clearance of 220mm and maintain ample clearance angles and a towing capacity of 1870 kg.

Subaru’s EyeSight Assist Technology and Driver Monitoring System have both been upgraded with newly added functionality. This will also now include an Emergency Driving Stop System, which can bring the vehicle to a complete stop if needed and in a safe way, if the driver can no longer control the vehicle in an emergency situation.

More details of the all-new Subaru Forester, along with the full UK vehicle specification, and pricing will be released closer to launch.
