Subaru Forester Hybrid in more detail

More detailed context

What stands out

AWD traction, a hybrid powertrain rated at 6.9 L/100 km, and a 550 L cargo area support road trips and daily family use.

Safety is a highlight with a 5-star rating, backed by a reliability score of 80.

Everyday strengths

Seats five and offers 400 Nm torque with 0–100 km/h in 9 s for everyday merging and passing.

At about 30,000, it represents good value in its segment and helps limit fuel stops on long drives.

It lacks a third row and may not suit those needing more than 550 L of cargo capacity.
