In a place like Santa Clara—where innovation, sustainability, and outdoor adventure go hand-in-hand—there’s one vehicle that seamlessly fits the lifestyle: the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. It’s efficient, all-weather capable, adventure-ready, and packed with cutting-edge technology. Whether you’re commuting to Silicon Valley’s tech campuses, running errands in San Jose, or escaping for the weekend to the redwoods or the coast, the Forester Hybrid is built to handle it all—without sacrificing comfort, efficiency, or style.
At Stevens Creek Subaru, we understand what drivers in Santa Clara value most: a vehicle that can handle urban life during the week and outdoor life on the weekends. And with the redesigned 2025 Subaru Forester now available in a hybrid powertrain, there’s never been a better time to buy.

1. The Evolution of the Forester: Now Available as a Hybrid
The 2025 model year marks a significant milestone in Subaru’s commitment to sustainability: the introduction of a hybrid version of the beloved Forester. The new Forester Hybrid brings the same core strengths—versatility, reliability, and safety—but now with Subaru’s next-generation StarDrive hybrid system, offering better fuel economy and fewer emissions.
This move speaks directly to the eco-conscious values of Santa Clara and the broader Bay Area, where green commuting and environmental awareness are top priorities.
2. Hybrid Efficiency Meets Subaru Capability
The Forester Hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter direct-injection BOXER® engine with Subaru’s advanced electric motor system, designed for maximum efficiency and smooth performance.
Key Performance Highlights:
- Estimated 38 MPG combined (pending EPA certification)
- Electric-only low-speed driving mode for stop-and-go traffic
- Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
- Subaru StarDrive® intelligent hybrid system
Whether you’re crawling along I-280 during rush hour or coasting through Los Gatos on a weekend cruise, the Forester Hybrid delivers the power you need and the efficiency you want.
3. Built for Bay Area Roads and Beyond
Santa Clara drivers face a wide range of conditions—from pothole-laden city streets and winding coastal roads to rainy winter days and occasional snow trips to Tahoe. The 2025 Forester Hybrid is up for the task with its 8.7 inches of ground clearance, X-MODE® traction control, and hill descent control for off-road confidence.
Weekend Warrior? The Forester Hybrid handles:
- Big Basin or Castle Rock State Park trailheads
- Coastal camping trips in Half Moon Bay
- Snowboarding adventures in Tahoe
- Road trips to Yosemite or the Eastern Sierra
All with confidence, traction, and fuel efficiency.
4. Designed for Life in Santa Clara
Let’s face it: the South Bay isn’t just where we live—it’s a way of life. You need a vehicle that works for work, play, and everything in between. The 2025 Forester Hybrid delivers with thoughtful interior space, clever storage solutions, and creature comforts made for busy, active lives.
