The Subaru Forester e-BOXER UK launch brings a fresh take on the beloved SUV, now packed with improved performance, comfort, and safety. Priced from £38,995, this new model blends Subaru’s hybrid power with its all-weather confidence, offering a capable companion for adventurous and practical drivers.
Enhanced platform for confident handling
Built on the evolved Subaru Global Platform, the new Forester gains a 10% increase in chassis rigidity. Thanks to full inner frame construction and added structural adhesive, this SUV delivers better road manners and a more refined feel. Reinforced suspension mounting points also contribute to sharper handling and greater stability.
Proven power with modern hybrid performance
At its core, the Forester e-BOXER retains Subaru’s Permanent Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and pairs it with a revised 2.0-litre flat-four engine. With 24 technical enhancements, the engine works seamlessly with the Lineartronic CVT and hybrid system. The updated electric power steering now offers dual-pinion architecture for quicker response and better feedback behind the wheel.
Built for the road less traveled
Off-road performance is a Subaru hallmark, and the new Forester stays true to form. A class-leading 220mm ground clearance supports challenging terrain, while improved approach and departure angles add confidence. The enhanced X-MODE system provides better control across surfaces, and a 1,870kg towing capacity ensures serious versatility.
Next-level safety for peace of mind
Safety takes a leap forward with the latest EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. A wider-angle monocular camera and new radar hardware provide five additional functions, including Emergency Driving Stop. Inside, the updated Driver Monitoring System adds convenience and safety. Front center and passenger cushion airbags, along with a revised bumper beam, improve crash protection.
A quieter, smarter interior
Cabin refinement has been a major focus. Noise levels are reduced by 39%, creating a calm environment. Newly designed front seats reduce fatigue on long drives. At the center of the dash, a new 11.6-inch Full HD display simplifies infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and intuitive controls, all while keeping physical buttons for essentials.
Practical space with everyday ease
Utility remains a strong suit for the Forester. With 508 litres of boot space (1,720 litres with seats folded) and an optional hands-free power tailgate, practicality is built in. A new 360° Multi-View Monitor, LED cornering lamps, and aspherical door mirrors help the driver stay in control with confidence and clarity.
Subaru’s vision for the UK
Subaru UK Managing Director Lorraine Bishton expressed pride in the Forester’s advancement. She highlighted the model’s role in strengthening Subaru’s position in the UK market and its alignment with the brand’s commitment to innovation and safety.
Summary
The Subaru Forester e-BOXER UK launch signals a bold step forward for the brand. With hybrid efficiency, all-terrain capability, and intelligent safety, the Forester offers an ideal mix of versatility and refinement for British drivers in 2025.
