Subaru Is Ready to Uncover the New Forester Hybrid, I Think It Will Show In L.A.

Subaru of America says the Subaru Forester Hybrid is coming soon. Where will Subaru unveil the new compact SUV model? I think it will be in Los Angeles.

The Forester Hybrid reveal is getting close.

The highly anticipated 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is about to break cover, igniting the excitement of automotive enthusiasts and potential Forester customers.

Subaru of America (SOA) announced that the mid-2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is coming soon. On its social media pages, the Camden, N.J. automaker says, 

"A first-of-its-kind Subaru Forester Hybrid, coming soon. Sign up for updates here."  

SOA teased a hybrid badge above but nothing else. They did not reveal where the new Forester Hybrid would be uncovered, but it will likely be at the Los Angeles Auto Show from November 22, 2024, to December 1, 2024. 

Subaru's press day will be Thursday, November 21, 2024.

It's Subaru's chance to reveal the Forester Hybrid to the global press and industry event that hosts thousands of automotive executives, credentialed journalists, and media representatives. Government officials, policymakers, technologists, designers, dealers, investors, industry analysts, and thought leaders are also attending.

Subaru says this on its website about the all-new 2025 Forester Hybrid. 

"In mid-2025, the versatile, capable Forester will reach a new fuel efficiency and technology level with the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid SUV. Combining the all-weather capability of the legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with a hybrid drivetrain, the Forester Hybrid delivers smart value in a rugged, go-anywhere package. You'll enjoy all the adventurous features drivers love about the Forester plus even more efficiency and lower emissions in the all-new 2025 Forester Hybrid."

"The upcoming 2025 Forester Hybrid will represent our return to the hybrid crossover SUV space and combines the latest in hybrid technology with all the versatility, reliability, and rugged performance of its gasoline-powered counterpart."

"The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid begins an exciting new era for the beloved compact crossover SUV. Blending the signature Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with eco-conscious engineering and design, the new edition promises to deliver an impressive combination of efficiency and capability, giving drivers considering a new Forester Hybrid a lot to look forward to."

Subaru says the Forester hybrid will make its dealer launch in mid-2025, not in the spring as anticipated. 

Will Subaru uncover the mid-2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week? We'll find out soon. Stay tuned.

The lease on my 2020 Forrester is up in January 2025 & I was interested in the Hybrid Forrester. Any idea when it will come out? I don’t know if I should extend the lease or buy it and wait for the Hybrid to come out. Any thoughts? Thanks
