The SUV is expected to adopt the electrified powertrain of the Japanese-spec Crosstrek Hybrid, developed with the help of Toyota
Subaru has announced that the new Forester Hybrid will launch by mid-2025. The hybrid setup is expected to combine a 2.5-liter boxer with two electric motors. The electrified SUV will retain Subaru 's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system. Subaru is gearing up for the launch of the all-important hybrid variant of the new generation Forester in the US, as the company has quietly confirmed on its consumer website that the model will go on sale by mid-2025.
Subaru leveraged Toyota’s expertise in hybrid vehicles to develop the new powertrain as part of their collaboration. The automaker claims the new system offers a 20% improvement in fuel efficiency over Subaru’s existing e-Boxer hybrid setup, which was available in Japan, Europe, and other markets, but never offered in the US. When it comes to visual changes, don’t hold your breath.
