Subaru Has A Leaky Problem

You know a leak can be damaging, especially when it's a water leak. Subaru has a leaky problem that needs to be fixed. It's not water, but it's already caused damage. The new remodeled SUV will make its global debut today, but unfortunately for Subaru of America, the 2025 Forester has been leaked. You have already seen the images here if you are a regular reader. 

I covered the leaked compact SUV last week when images of the next-generation Forester made their way online, and the damage was done. Subaru can't be happy about it because they have been doing everything to keep it secret. 

I don't know who caused the leak, but Imgur revealed the complete images of the new 2025 Forester, some of the photos of which you have likely seen already.

Subaru says, "There's a new kind of legend just waiting to be discovered. The newly redesigned Subaru vehicle, featuring new technology, upgraded safety, and more, is on its way to the Los Angeles Auto Show. Sign up now to get more information." 

Forester exterior upgrades

I reported earlier that the new Forester has large greenhouse windows for excellent driver outward visibility, 19-inch wheels on what looks to be the Sport trim level, Symmetrical all-wheel-drive, and plenty of black body cladding. The Forester Sport looks to stay with 8.7 inches of ground clearance. 

On the outside, the new 2025 Forester has new exterior upgrades with a new wheel design, new headlights and grille, and new rear taillights. The Forester does not appear to have grown much in size. So, it likely has the same footprint. 

New upgrades inside

Inside is a new 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen from the new Subaru Outback, Crosstrek, and Impreza, as well as similar steering wheel, seat, and console controls.

The same 2.5-liter Boxer engine under the hood

Under the hood, the leaked images appear to show the same 2.5-liter non-turbo, Boxer engine in the current fifth-generation Forester compact SUV. I think Subaru will increase horsepower and torque slightly in the new sixth-generation Forester. 

I expect Subaru Corporation will upgrade the new Forester with improved suspension and ride quality over the outgoing 2024 model. 

New EyeSight safety technology

The 2025 Forester will surely get significant safety upgrades with the new Subaru EyeSight safety technology. The new safety tech will feature more "hands-off" driving capabilities.  

Subaru of America will uncover the "all-new fully redesigned vehicle" today at 9:40 a.m. Pacific time (12:40 p.m. Eastern) at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show. 

I will bring you the complete details and Subaru's official photos of the next-generation 2025 Subaru Forester. Stay tuned.
