Forester has officially gained two new trim packages. The rugged Wilderness trim package is back, seen previously on the last-gen Forester and on other Subaru models such as the Outback and Crosstrek.

Consumer Reports previews the new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid, sharing details about features, power, fuel economy, price, and safety equipment.

The Forester Hybrid boasts much better efficiency at about $3,000 more, without giving up its tenacious all-wheel drive.
