Subaru of America has announced pricing for the adventure-ready 2025 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Designed for off-road enthusiasts, the rugged SUV starts at $34,995 MSRP and offers enhanced capabilities for tackling tough terrains. Featuring 9.2 inches of ground clearance, specialized off-road features, and the reliable Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the Forester Wilderness is ready for both city streets and remote trails.
Enhanced Capability and Rugged Design
The 2025 Subaru Forester Wilderness builds on the previous-generation model, incorporating upgrades for off-road performance. It comes equipped with longer coil springs, shock absorbers, and 17-inch matte-black alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires. A full-size spare tire ensures confidence during extended trips off the pavement.
A hexagonal grille, hexagonal LED fog lights, and larger cladding around the wheels give the Forester Wilderness a bold appearance. For practical off-road use, a front skid plate provides underbody protection, while a matte-black anti-glare hood decal enhances visibility in challenging lighting conditions.
Adventure-Ready Interior
Inside, the Forester Wilderness features water-resistant StarTex® seating surfaces, all-weather mats, and a cargo tray, making it easy to clean after outdoor excursions. Robust ladder-style roof rails support up to 800 pounds when stationary, making it suitable for rooftop tents and heavy gear.
The SUV offers 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, and 26.9 cubic feet with the seats upright. It comfortably accommodates five passengers, with generous legroom in the rear seats. For towing needs, the Forester Wilderness offers a 3,000-pound towing capacity, bolstered by standard Trailer Stability Assist.
Advanced Safety and Technology
Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology comes standard, featuring Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and more. Automatic Emergency Steering works in tandem with Blind-Spot Detection to help avoid collisions at speeds below 50 mph.
