Why Choose the Subaru Forester Hybrid?

The Subaru Forester Hybrid brings together efficiency, capability and everyday versatility in one compact SUV.

Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive

Every Forester Hybrid comes standard with Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Whether you're commuting around Frederick, driving through rain or snow, or heading out for a weekend adventure, standard AWD provides added traction and confidence without requiring an upgrade.

Hybrid Efficiency

The Forester Hybrid is designed to help you spend less time at the pump. It delivers up to 35 MPG city and 34 MPG highway, with a driving range of up to 581 miles.

The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine with electric motors to balance efficiency and responsive performance.

Flexible Interior and Cargo Space

The Forester Hybrid gives you plenty of room for passengers, groceries, outdoor gear and everything else your day requires. With up to 69.1 cubic feet of flexible cargo space and a wide rear gate opening, loading up for a trip is easy.

Advanced Safety Technology

Every Forester Hybrid includes Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with Automatic Emergency Steering. Available features such as a 360-degree Surround View Monitor provide additional awareness when maneuvering and parking.

Subaru Forester Hybrid vs. Honda CR-V Hybrid

The Honda CR-V Hybrid is another popular choice for shoppers looking for an efficient compact SUV. However, the Forester Hybrid offers several features that may make it a better fit for drivers who prioritize standard all-wheel-drive capability.

The Forester Hybrid includes Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard equipment, along with an 11.6-inch Multimedia touchscreen.

For drivers who want hybrid efficiency without giving up standard all-wheel-drive capability, the Forester Hybrid provides an appealing combination of efficiency and versatility.

Subaru Forester Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is another well-known option in the hybrid SUV segment. Like the Forester Hybrid, it offers hybrid efficiency and SUV versatility.

The Forester Hybrid, however, comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and an 11.6-inch Multimedia touchscreen. It also provides up to 106.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, compared with 98.9 cubic feet in the RAV4 Hybrid.

For drivers who want a hybrid SUV with standard AWD and a spacious interior, the Forester Hybrid is worth a closer look.
