2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid at Stevens Creek Subaru in Santa Clara

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.

  • Up to 74.4 cu. ft. of cargo space
  • Water-repellent StarTex® seating (perfect for dogs, kids, and gear)

Whether you’re packing up for soccer practice at Central Park, bringing home plants from the Sunnyvale Farmers Market, or hauling tech gear for your next presentation in Palo Alto, the Forester Hybrid adapts effortlessly.


5. Subaru EyeSight® Safety Comes Standard

Santa Clara drivers can enjoy the daily commute, school drop-offs, and long road trips with peace of mind knowing that Subaru has their back.


6. A Smarter Kind of Connectivity

  • 96% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today (per Experian Automotive)
  • Subaru has earned Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Brand and Most Trusted Brand
  • Forester has been an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK for years running

Buying a Forester Hybrid in 2025 means you’re getting an eco-conscious SUV with long-term value and reliability—something Santa Clara buyers can count on.

Subaru is the first car company in the U.S. to achieve zero-landfill production, and the Forester Hybrid reflects that same environmental commitment.

The battery system is designed for longevity, and Subaru has programs in place for recycling and responsible sourcing. Plus, all Forester Hybrids are built in a zero-landfill plant in Lafayette, Indiana.

In Santa Clara, where climate action and sustainable tech are valued, the Forester Hybrid is a natural choice.
