2025 Subaru Forester Touring Road Trip Review

[@theunown1912]

These trips are your best videos. Wish these videos would get millions of views so you'd be persuaded to do them more regularly.

[@StarlancerAstro]

I never though I would own or like a Subaru, my Kia trans died after 20k miles and just didn't want the issues so traded it on a 2024 OBW and I freaking love it, one of the best vehicles I've bought. Like the look of the new Forester but need that XT engine!

[@SGPFORESTERTV]

I'm waiting for the new Forester to be released in Japan！

[@yutakoh]

Oh how I miss the XT 😔 Even without a hood scoop.

[@Elite328]

Keep the manual dial knobs for HVAC!

[@tonycoz2309]

Same old anaemic Subaru 2.5lt motor no matter what Subaru say. Will wait for the Hybrid to come out to see if it has any more zip....better still a turbo XT would be a little more exciting.

[@jaumeprimerelhipster]

I see the sky quite black on that direction. Everyone is waiting for the hybrid. Except we'll all get disappointed. Subaru's marketing revolve around their SAWD/CVT/Boxer combo. The problem is that this combo just doesn't get along well with hybridation. Their hybrid version in Europe gets a small 17 hp engine that pushes for an astonishing 60 Nm of torque. Whatever meaningful electric engine they put in the Forester, the CVT will just not cope with it without breaking. At this point, they could go the Toyota way and put a bigger engine on the rear axle but that would get away with SAWD and would make CVT pointless (vs e-CVT). No matter what they do, they are kidnapped but their own tech.

[@jimr549]

I have a 24 Crosstrek with the 2.5 and it has plenty of power and great mileage and range. Why complicate it with a hybrid drivetrain?

[@lloydzufelt7514]

I have a 2020 Forester. Made a road trip from Denver to Washington D.C. spent 7 days work then to Atlanta for 4 days. Drove back to Denver while the back seat had about 900 pounds of medical equipment that i need. fantastic car

[@leonc1036]

How's the stability on this one? Looks like the body is longer and still using the old Crosstrek/Impreza frame. I don't care much of the look, but worried about the stability and rollover resistance. I've read that it is 10% stiffer though.

[@Lex240sx]

Looks like a ford explorer! Personally, I hate the redesign! 2020 model looks the absolute best!

[@kenhoward3512]

When it comes to Subaru *styling* - looking like a Ford (or any other design studio) is a good thing. I still like the Gen-1 Crosstrek and Gen-2 Forester, though.

For comparable features you need to add packages to the limited, bringing it to $44k with delivery.

[@dennismalembeka9316]

8-Speed torque converter gearbox and a Turbo could do wonders for this car.

[@adamblakeley5865]

I love the redesign. They changed what I thought was the worst part of the Forester…the front end. It just looked…to use Ryan’s word,derpy. The rest of it I loved. So the front end looks better now IMO, a little more modern and aero and sleek, but the back end which always looked good is very similar to the last gen. As far as the “take a break” and “keep eyes on road” messages, obviously I don’t know if it’s the case with this Fozzy, but my wife has a Mazda CX-9, a ‘20, it doesn’t have the facial recognition software. However when we road trip it gives the same messages, but they are based on time and mileage. So once you’ve driven a certain amount it gives you those messages. Might not be the case here, but could be I would think.

[@chrisgray4239]

Should sell like hotcakes in Australia...these cars are subsidised by Subaru to increase sales, a Touring edition in Australia is $55k drive away in Aussie dollars but have seen them under $50k

[@rickm8456]

Subaru loves you. I'm sure that pisses the TFL guys off.

[@malifestro3319]

This new Forester looks much better! Not sure I Would take it over a Passport though. Why did they stop offering it with a turbo?

[@無双山ぽん吉]

Subaru evolves every year.

[@ctclardy]

I think it is an absolutely fantastic car and will probably order one when it comes out with the hybrid model... what I don't understand is why they dropped the turbo 2.5 offering in this car several years ago. I believe Subaru should bring it back along with the new hybrid model. The standard engine is way too anemic for my tastes. I wish you would have videoed yourself passing that semi you came up behind on that 2 lane road to show how long it took to pass the truck if you even had enough straight road to pass it.

[@drivingsports]

They dropped the XT due to slow sales.

[@ctclardy]

@@drivingsports Yeah... that's their excuse but, I don't believe it. In our area, they couldn't keep them on the lot. They were gone days after they landed and were not ordered cars by buyers. Mazda has no problem selling hybrids in their entire main lineup. I was told the real reason they didn't put them in the Forester was because Subaru believed it cut into their Outback sales.

[@eskieman3948]

@@ctclardy Believe it. They weren't selling that well, period. The same thing with the Subarus that recently lost the option of the standard transmissions. There were very few sales, but when Subaru deleted the standard transmission option, EVERYBODY was whining that it was no longer available, "I would have bought one with a stick", yadda yadda, etc. Well, they DIDN'T, and Subaru is not the size of a GM, Ford, or Toyota, so they can't afford to manufacture cars & options that don't sell. As for the "I was told the real reason" nonsense... show me a Subaru corporate official comment that repeats what you were told. Car lot BS - ALL car sales people with all brands spew this nonsense.

[@gregjoubert5118]

Can you shut that facial recognition off? That would drive me nuts!

[@natecurrier]

Yes

[@drivingsports]

You can also purchase a lower trim that doesn’t have that feature. It’s only on touring.

[@gregjoubert5118]

Thanks!

[@gregjoubert5118]

Thanks! Appreciate the review.

[@ElTorro9449]

So, in the end, how much difference is in this compared with Honda CR-v, Toyota RAV4, Volvo XC60/90? All do the same service, all have good and bad, why I should buy 2025 Forester in Europe? I like your offroad videos, but seems that all cars do the same thing. I mean, no one pretends that those cars are an off-roader, so what’sthe point? How we consider which model we love or hate? I drove Honda, Toyota, Volvo. Besides couple differences in comfort, basically all do the same thing, all take you safe from point A to point B. 🤷‍♂️

[@wendykuehne3920]

Would love to purchase one but Not enough power…… I have the outback 3.6L and can’t give it up

[@Fitatstic]

For 2025 did they fix the thermo control valve issues from the 2019-2022 and the faulty redesign ones from 2022-2024 models?

[@MyBlitz7]

Great video, but look at how they massacred the Forester 😭 A lot of people have compared it to a Ford Explorer but I’m seeing Kia Seltos and Chevy Equinox. And still no turbo.

[@2tallblues]

As someone who's lived both in the PNW and NE, there's really no comparison. When people from the NW say things like that, it's usually a reference to the fact that you can SEE the mountain ranges from everywhere. The ranges in the NE you can't really see unless you're in them. In the NW, you can often see more than one mountain range from any vantage point, as well as one HUGE mountain (like Rainier, Hood, Adams, Baker, etc). Mountains are just more present in the NW.

I have a 2024 Forester Wilderness and so far I'm very pleased. While showing my wife the 2024 vs the 2025 she actually likes the 2025's looks better. Her 2015 F-150 is getting up there in miles so our discussion now is getting her a 2025 Forester Sport when the time comes. She's a truck girl but has also said the crew cab F-150 is a an overkill now. Please Subaru, bring back the Baja and then she can have both.

[@coolnout3765]

Lots of hype and pretty pictures. I recently purchased the 2025 Subaru Forester. When I got home, I wouldn't say I liked the car. It looks great, but wait until you need to drive it with rush hour traffic, it struggles to keep pace. It isn't anything like the 2010 Subaru Forester that I own. Save yourself and test drive this car on the freeway before you buy it. Remember during break-in, you can't peg 4k RPMs in rush hour when the aggressive drivers are in command. PS. I drive the speed limit and hang in the right lane so don't think I am lead-footed.

[@cristianmolina8148]

Well this thing is growing on me... The first time I saw it I said meehhh... it's different now... I wish they had kept more physical controls and less on-screen controls... I hate that...also more tire and less rim pls..

[@tommymas1]

One correction: at 23:00, you said that the Forester has never been fast. Not so. The XT was/is fast. My 2018 XT Touring is plenty fast. Subaru needs to offer an engine choice for the Forester like they do for the Outback. Just saying.....🤔

[@Alejo519]

Yeap,from Chile i had a 2015 xt, pretty fast, 7.3 7.5 0 100 kmp. We [wife] changed it for the mazda cx5 turbo. Get tires of waiting the 2019 New platform xt forester.....and then this New 2025 fkrester without turbo. We driove de 2.5 normal forester limited, but al the feature didnt match the xr engine

[@fregion4]

Thanks I'm keeping my 2019 Forester. Having almost every control on the touch screen is a disaster waiting to happen plus it being placed well below the line of sight just made it worse. Why? Touch screens rely heavily on visual cues unlike physical controls where you can rely on muscle memory and feeling. Remember, things can go south in a blink of an eye plus the one thing every (good) driving instructor tells their students: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD.

I also remember DST testing the Forester vs the Rav4 TRD, and both Ryan and the other driver commented on how rough the ride was in the Rav compared to the Forester on the forest roads. Nonetheless, it seems likely the hybrid Forester will be using Toyota engines, or at least partially, so it should have some really solid reliability.

[@gcanyon3114]

‘22 owner here. I like the styling of the ‘19-‘24 models better but this isn’t bad. I dislike that they are not offering lighter colored headliners anymore though… all black will make the cabin feel more closed in, and an open airy cabin has always been a hallmark of the Forester. Hopefully they preserved the aspects that Forester owners love (spacious, airy cabin and loads of visibility)

[@717dash_cam]

You would think that, but with Subarus greenhouse, it really doesn't, especially with the oversized moonroof. My FW with the black headliner never felt claustrophobic even after further tinting all the but the windshield.

[@michaeltorres2377]

I agree with you. Even if the car has good greenhouse, the black headliner will absorb more heat then a light colored headliner and may take a little longer to cool the cabin on a hot day. I have a black headliner on my Acura RDX and always notice this.

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

The black head liner makes no difference. I own the 22 Forester Wilderness. No more dirty headliner and I’ve not noticed any heat issues or feeling claustrophobic.

How can anybody possibly like driving these rubber-band transmission cars?

[@mattheviewer]

Actually the XT Foresters were kinda fast though the last iteration's 2.0 liter had a lot of teething issues (both of mine either ate valves or spark plugs). They got dinged ove "requiring" premium (actually only recommended) and never recovered in sales.

Thanks young fellah - here in Australia I’ve owned 12 Subarus but now drive a Toyota Hilux (US Tacoma?) - it has more storage options because we Aussies like our aluminium canopies fitted to our dual cab utes (trucks in US?) - no surprise that the new 2025 Subaru Forester looks like a RAV4 now given Toyota own 20 percent of Subaru - unfortunately the new lines of the front and rear look awful and dated - oh dear what were they thinking - I stopped buying Subarus after they introduced the flawed CVT here in 2013 plus the factory oil leaks of the FA FB engines - the old EJ’s were so much better - I got my first 1997 Forester automatic to 425000kms before the camshaft seized - an FA/FB engine will not go more than 300000km.

I know you and Subie have a good relationship but this new forester is Mid at best. Tech inside was old and laggy in 2020. Same old gauge cluster, no turbo engine. The refresh feels no better than the Outback was in 2020/2021. It's a pass for me

[@anthonyng3014]

It's actually very simple for Subaru: have 2 engine options (2.5L NA and 2.4L Turbo) in ALL models. I honestly don't understand why the Crosstrek, Impreza, and Forester all get stuck with the base engine without options to upgrade. And no, the 2.0L NA is NOT a base engine, that thing is deprecated garbage meant to sell in "other" markets and for those looking for the cheapest garbage they can buy.
