Subaru Launches Radical 2025 Forester Lease Deal for July originally appeared on Autoblog.
A new look for a tried-and-true classic
The 2025 Subaru Forester received a redesign last year, and it’s the most radical styling change for the brand’s best-selling model, now in its sixth generation. The popular compact crossover manages to carry over the ethos of the fifth generation while looking more SUV-like than ever. It now offers a more cohesive design, improved sound deadening, and a more refined cabin.Gone are the lobster claw-style headlights and taillights, replaced by more unified front and rear fascias, more prominent fenders, and a bit less creasing along the doors. Overall, the new Forester has a more grown-up look.
The Forester has a sweet host of standard features, including remote keyless entry, LED headlights, and "welcome lighting," which casts a beam of light on the exterior front door handles at night. We recommend the Sport trim level due to its well-balanced combination of equipment, appearance, and price within the Forester lineup.
The Forester Sport features attractive bronze trim and exclusive wheels, along with additional creature comforts such as heated front seats and a large 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. Interestingly, Subaru says the current 2024 Forester Wilderness will continue alongside the new 2025 Forester models until an unnamed future date, and we expect the Wilderness trim to move to the new model in 2026. Price for the 2024 Forester Wilderness remains unchanged at $36,265. If all of that sounds like a terrific deal, Subaru's attractive lease deal for the month of July should make it even better.

The tall 39.6 inches of headroom means there’s plenty of space for tall folks across the row. Cargo space is a generous 74.4 cubic feet of space when the rear seats are folded down and 29.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, a couple of cubes more than the higher trims. One of the Forester’s big bonuses is its continued commitment to safety, earning a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS for the 2025 model year.
