Subaru Forester: 2025 vs 2024 | Detailed Comparison | Which Ride

I prefer the look of the '24 - it's more creative.

Love the 2025 the exterior, the 2024 model 🤮

I’ll be buying a 2025 as soon as it comes available. My reasons are the changes in sheet metal, sound insulation, and structural elements resulting in an improved ride and noise level. None of which you mentioned.

what happen with the cd player?

2024…..by 10 miles, aesthetically

Old one much better

Grill looks like crap. Old grill is way better. Stop trying to look like a Honda. Honda are kinda ugly

My wife purchased a Limited 2024 last month. Great vehicle on snow and ice. I have to admit I like the body style of the 2025 better. I like the analog controls in the 24 vs the screen controls of the 25. Curious as to the colors offered for 2025.

24 has loose steering..they fixed this I hope

The 25 is boring..no bling or style...

Just picked up a 2023 left over for a $700 lower base price...(save that cash and get the additional accessories you like) , lower finance rate (3.9%) , AND a CD player now no longer available in the 2024 and beyond models. I'd go with the 2023/2024 all day long although Id would try and find a 2023 leftover if possible. Same exact car otherwise. I Don't like the 11.6 Screen and losing the physical HVAC controls. Plus the 5th gen IMHO just has nicer body lines. Anyone know if the 2025 will still be made in Japan or will it be moved to the Indiana factory?
I was a service advisor for Toyota for 5 years and I can tell you the Japan made Camrys defiantly had a better fit and finish. Not a huge difference, but enough to notice. Being a patriotic American, It pains me to say, but there is a whole different mindset when it comes to pride in workmanship and QC.

What I'm disappointed about is the fact that there's dual exhaust exhaust they have moved the driver select off of the bottom panel that was right by your shifter into the 11.6-inch display so now there's just boring space there and as far as the styling is concerned if you look at the Subaru Foresters that were before the model year and shape that you see now this 20/25 looks just like the old old version just updated

More soul, more fun, still daily car.

Eyesight X is coming to the 2025 model only in Japan?

Well sence we are looking at the 23/24 model I'll have to wate

YALL it's getting its own hybrid YEEeSS hands free tailgate three camera eyesight Interior is so good they did so awesome. They finally have LED lights on the daytime running lights and it's on the turn signal. Which means it goes off when the turn signal comes on. BrO YYyYYEEEs❤❤❤❤

I love how it looks in the sport trim just got even better. I love the bronze. It's so sexy and it's just way more better stands out for me. Looks like by four but I actually don't care. It looks good that's the good part and it just got way more better and my mom is definitely going to get that and I'm obsessed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥹

The taillights scream previous generation Outlander PHEV models 😬

Very disappointed in the exterior styling for 2025. It looks less like a Subaru and more like a (God forgive me) Ford. Ugh.

Is 2025 expected to launch a hybrid?

2025 looks like a ford escape, the 2024 looks more bold and stands out from other suvs in its class. Do away with the engine auto shut off, then I will consider trading in my 2017.
