The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is making its way to the Canadian market with an upgraded powertrain, improved fuel efficiency, and a full suite of standard safety features. This popular compact SUV now offers an electrified version called the Forester e-BOXER Hybrid, equipped with Subaru’s next-generation hybrid system. If you’re thinking of buying a hybrid Subaru, here’s a complete overview of the available trims and pricing.
Next-Generation Hybrid Powertrain
The 2025 Forester e-BOXER is Subaru’s first model to feature its new parallel hybrid system. It combines a 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine, a Lineartronic CVT transmission, two electric motors, and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery. Together, they deliver a total output of 194 horsepower. True to the Forester’s DNA, Subaru’s symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive remains standard, ensuring confident handling in all weather conditions—perfect for Ontario roads.
More Efficient, Still Adventure-Ready
The hybrid powertrain boosts efficiency without sacrificing the Forester’s well-known capabilities. It retains its generous 220 mm ground clearance, along with features like X-MODE, hill descent control, and active torque vectoring. Whether you're commuting downtown or heading off-road, the Forester Hybrid is ready for it all.

Safety is front and centre in this new version. The 2025 Forester Hybrid comes standard with the latest generation of Subaru’s EyeSight system, offering improved detection of cyclists and pedestrians. Key features include automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, reverse automatic braking, blind-spot detection, and more. In the event of driver unresponsiveness, the Emergency Stop Assist system can safely bring the vehicle to a halt.
On the tech side, you’ll find an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Subaru’s connected STARLINK services are also included, providing a modern, seamless driving experience.
