2025 Subaru Forester Base

2025 Subaru Forester Base

Base, but not basic. The entry-level Forester is designed to offer all the essential appointments on your wish list at a price well within reach. Key standard features of this value-defining SUV include the following:

  • Manually adjustable front seats
  • 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatbacks
  • Durable cloth upholstery
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Automatic up/down driver’s window
  • Illuminated front USB-A input port
  • SUBARU STARLINK 7-inch multimedia touch screen
  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Autoâ„¢
  • Multifunction display
  • Four-speaker sound system
  • EyeSight Driver Assist Technology
  • Rear-Vision Camera
  • Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
  • LED steering responsive headlights
  • 17-inch dark metallic aluminum-alloy wheels with machine finish

The Base trim also has 29.6 cubic feet of cargo room, which expands to a maximum of 74.4 cubic feet with the rear seat lowered. This is a compelling way to start our Subaru Forester trim-level comparison.

2025 Subaru Forester Premium

2025 Subaru Forester Premium

This trim offers many of the same features as the Base Subaru Forester with a few additional amenities. The Subaru Forester Premium includes the following upgrades:

  • Power panoramic moonroof
  • 10-way power driver’s seat
  • Heated front seats (All-Weather Package)
  • Reclining rear seatbacks
  • Front and rear USB ports
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Six-speaker sound system

Standard cargo volume measures 27.5 cubic feet and 69.1 cubic feet with the rear seat folded; these dimensions stay the same throughout the rest of the Subaru Forester lineup. This model does not dramatically increase the price but offers excellent value. There’s a reason that the Premium is a popular option among the various 2025 Subaru Forester trim options.

2025 Subaru Forester Sport
