I Drove the 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. Here's my Brutally Honest Review
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Finally, after years of enthusiasts begging for one, we finally got a Forester hybrid. Is it worth the hype? Here's what I think after driving one. Compact, all-wheel drive hybrid SUVs are all the rage right now. Just look at the Hyundai Tucson hybrid (which can also be purchased as a PHEV), Mazda CX-50 hybrid, Toyota RAV4 hybrid, Kia Sportage hybrid, or the Honda CR-V hybrid. They're all popular for excellent reasons: they're reliable, capable, comfortable, and relatively affordable. Then, not only does the Subaru Forester hybrid show up late to the party for 2025, but it's the most expensive of the bunch, too, with a price range of $36,385 to $43,295. VW will introduce a sub-$20,000 EV, but probably not here Watch More Source: Kristen Brown Unlike the 2019 Crosstrek hybrid, which used Toyota's leftover hybrid technology, the Forester hybrid is mostly Subaru's doing. Toyota engineers were on speed dial, but Subaru's very proud to say that their hybrid is their own. Unlike the RAV4, one of the best-selling hybrid AWD SUVs, it uses a true, full-time, mechanical AWD system instead of an on-demand system. This means it's one of the more rugged options, but also a thirstier one. While I had it, I was averaging 29.5 miles to the gallon, which is a vast improvement from the gas-only Forester. With that, does it merit a higher price tag than its competitors? Source: Kristen Brown Current Subaru owners will struggle to find something to complain about Subaru has been following the same formula for decades, and I say this as the owner of a 2011 Forester. Everything I love about my old Subaru is there in the new one. It's a great size, the cargo space is just right, the visibility is excellent, the seating position is high, so you can see all the corners and blind spots, and it's easy to get in and out of. Of course, with a difference of 14 years, modern technology has only improved the driver experience with a large but responsive touch screen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, electronic seat adjusters, and more. The interior is much nicer, with varying textures, colors, and materials, but at its core, it's very much a Subaru. Uncomplicated, effective, and easy to become acquainted with. The low entry point, paired with high ground clearance and a tall roofline, makes it one of the easiest SUVs to climb in and out of. Even my toddlers loved being able to climb out of it without much assistance. The increased vertical height over the Outback makes it easier to stack things in the trunk, and my 6'2' husband enjoyed all the headspace he had and the fact that he didn't have to bend down to get into it. They're the same things I love about my 2011, and why current Subaru owners will find the transition from old to new incredibly seamless. When my sister bought a 2022 Forester Wilderness after having a 2003 Forester for almost 10 years, she said it felt just like her old one, with newer technology. The same principle applies here. It's a perfect blend between 'don't fix what ain't broken' and injecting what it needs to compete with the other AWD hybrid SUVs.

Source: Kristen Brown New-to-Subaru buyers, though, may find it underwhelming Unless you're a devoted member of the Subie cult and upgrading from a 2003 Outback, the Forester Hybrid may seem a bit lacking. There's an 11.6-inch multimedia screen and a digital driver information display to replace the gauges, but other than that, there's not much that helps it stand out. The Mazda CX-50's interior is more posh and luxurious, while the Hyundai Tucson's interior is more technology-focused and clean. The RAV4 is more user-friendly, featuring analog controls for frequently used driver functions. The Forester hybrid had waterproof seats in the Sport Hybrid that I reviewed, which was a welcome addition with toddler passengers, but otherwise, there wasn't much that helped justify the higher price tag based on interior features and design. It also doesn't get as good of mileage as its competitors, but that's thanks to a more robust, full-time AWD system. Instead of an on-demand system that uses steering, throttle, or braking input to evenly split torque between the front and rear wheels, they're evenly split at all times, and mileage suffers as a result, just like in the gas-only Forester. As I mentioned before, I was averaging about 29.5 miles to the gallon, which is impressive, but it's not as remarkable as the AWD RAV4 hybrid's 36.3 mpg or the Hyundai Tucson hybrid's 37 mpg. This might make it difficult for first-time buyers to pay extra for a hybrid that doesn't score as high as its competitors. Source: Kristen Brown My toddlers felt at home in the Forester hybrid My three and two-year-old daughters are picky about rear seats. They don't like small windows, they don't appreciate the lack of a sunroof, and they especially dislike being cooped up. They immediately loved being in the back of the Forester because it was easy for them to see out of and climb into. My oldest daughter especially liked it when I'd have the sunroof open while we tested it off-road, because she could see into the trees without much effort. The rear seats had their own A/C vents, which came in handy as my loan was in June, and if they were older, they'd appreciate the charging ports for occupants on either side. I mentioned this already, but the Sport hybrid had waterproof seating, making it super easy to clean up my daughter's spilled milk after hitting up our local Dutch Bros. What helped inspire confidence as a driver and a parent was the long list of safety features that came with the Forester hybrid. All trim levels of the hybrid come with Subaru's award-winning dual-camera (tri-camera with pedestrian detection on upper models) safety suite, so I knew my girls and husband were safe. The cargo space was generous, too, with plenty of room for the family's luggage, a stroller, a diaper bag or two, and camping gear. Adding crossbars and a cargo box or basket would only increase that, and I'd generally recommend that to any adventurous family. Source: Kristen Brown Off-road, the Forester's capabilities truly shone When my husband and I were wandering the dusty, rocky trails in Central Oregon, we were impressed by how easy it was for it. With X-MODE, most of the thinking was done for us. The ground clearance was enough to keep us out of trouble, and the ride was smooth. The factory all-season tires performed wonderfully, even in the tricky sections of the trail, where the Subaru made it through with ease. All while in EV mode most of the time, saving the fuel for the drive home. I started picturing how easy it would be to reach even the most remote campsites, without having to worry about hauling extra fuel. It could get you there, back, and beyond on a single tank of gas, thanks to the hybrid technology paired with Subaru's legendary AWD system. The ride was so smooth, both of my girls were lulled to sleep before we made it back to the main road. The Subaru Forester hybrid would be an easy choice for families who plan to camp or go adventuring regularly. Final thoughts After all of us were tapping our imaginary watches like Judge Judy waiting for the Forester hybrid, it was nice to see that Subaru finally took hybridization pretty seriously. Nothing that made the Forester so wonderful was changed–it was just a more efficient Forester. As a Subaru owner, I loved it immediately, but I felt that the price, compared to the competition, would make it a hard sell to someone who'd never driven a Subaru before. But, Subaru knows that most of the air under their wings is from repeat customers, so they don't need new buyers. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the Forester hybrid. However, it made me anxious to see how the Outback hybrid will perform. About the Author Kristen Brown View Profile

2008-2016 Subaru Exiga
People movers, MPVs, minivans – whatever you want to call them – remain one of the best ways to shift around a family where the headcount has exceeded that of a traditional five-seat car. But they are, to be blunt, uncool in New Zealand. You know what is cool? Station wagons. So how about a people-moving station wagon? In 2008, Subaru came up with just that. The Subaru Exiga is a unique seven-seat wagon that in principle blends the handling of a car with the practicality of an MPV. Never sold new in New Zealand, it's become a popular used import thanks to its full-time AWD (on most models), strong boxer engines and surprisingly spacious interior. Who is it for? The Exiga suits families or active households who want seven seats without stepping up to a full-size SUV or minivan. It's ideal for people who want the assurance of Subaru's AWD for weekend trips and ski field access but still want to drive a car that handles like a wagon. The second-row seats offer plenty of legroom and the third row is usable even for adults, unlike in many compact seven-seaters. Boot space with all seats up is tight, but fold the third row and you'll get usable cargo capacity. What is it like? Inside, the Exiga is practical rather than plush. Most models have durable cloth interiors, though higher trims get part-leather, push-button start and dual-zone climate control. The panoramic roof (an option on some models) and theatre-style seating mean the cabin feels open and airy. The main drawback is a lack of rear air vents, which can be a pain in summer. On a drive, the Exiga handles better than most seven-seaters thanks to its low centre of gravity and car-based chassis. The steering is light but responsive and body roll is minimal. Ride quality is comfortable and road noise is moderate. AWD models offer excellent grip, especially in poor weather. Engines include a 2.0L (109 kW), a 2.5L (125 kW) and a 2.0L turbo (165 kW) in the GT model. Most models use a CVT, while the GT comes with a five-speed auto. The 2.0L is adequate around town but can feel strained with a full load. By contrast, the 2.5L is more relaxed and suits NZ roads better. The 2.0GT is surprisingly quick, with 0–100 km/h in under eight seconds. Fuel economy ranges from around 8.0L/100 km (2.0L CVT) to over 10L/100 km in the GT. What are the options? Virtually all NZ Exigas are Japanese imports – it was sold new in Australia so a few private units may have crossed the ditch. Common trims include: 2.0i / 2.0i-S: Base and mid-spec. Steel or alloy wheels, manual or auto A/C, FWD or AWD. CVT gearbox from 2009 on. 2.5i / 2.5i-S: AWD-only. Better equipment and smoother performance. Often includes leather trim, climate control, power seating. 2.0GT: Turbo AWD with five-speed auto. Sportier suspension, HID headlights, panoramic roof, and higher-grade interior. Later models may feature Subaru's EyeSight safety tech (AEB, adaptive cruise), and side/curtain airbags became more common after 2010. All models have ISOFIX, but not all have full airbag coverage so check each car individually. Subaru also released a final version called the Exiga Crossover7 in 2015. It featured SUV-style body cladding, a slightly raised ride height and was only available with the 2.5L AWD CVT powertrain. Looking a bit like an Outback, it may appeal to buyers looking for a more rugged, crossover-themed variant. What should I look out for? The Exiga is generally reliable, sharing many parts with the Legacy and Outback. Still, watch for: Timing belt: Most engines need a cambelt change at 100,000 km. Confirm that it's been done. Oil leaks: Boxer engines can develop gasket seepage over time. CVT health: Ensure smooth operation; judder or flare can mean wear. Rust: Rare, but check underbody, especially in former snow-region cars. Tyres: AWD requires matching tyres all around to avoid drivetrain issues. What else should I consider? Alternatives include the Toyota Wish (FWD, more compact, very reliable), Honda Stream (sporty but a tight third row) and Mazda Premacy (with sliding doors). If you want a roomier seven-seater, look at the Honda Odyssey or Toyota Estima. What should I pay? Dealer pricing: 2008–2010: $7,000–$10,000 2011–2014: $10,000–$16,000 2015–2016 (Crossover7): $14,000–$19,000 Private sale pricing: 2008–2010: $5,000–$8,000 2011–2014: $8,000–$13,000 2015–2016 (Crossover7): $12,000–$16,000 The 2.5i-S and GT models attract a premium. EyeSight and leather also add cost. A clean, low-km, NZ-certified import with full airbag coverage and a recent cambelt change is worth seeking out.

Brains, Beauty & Burnout: Here's Why MG Cyberster Could Be A Wisest Wildcard In Sports Car Segment
Last Updated: In this article, we have listed the top pointers about the MG Cyberster, mentioning why it could be a wise decision to choose it if you are planning to get something similar. The JSW MG Motor is again in the headlines, and this time the reason is quite loud. The company has recently launched the tech-loaded yet most futuristic two-door electric sports car named Cyberster. It was released at the starting price of Rs 75 lakh (ex-showroom). Ever since the model was teased in the Indian market, it has created buzz all over the internet, hooking the target audience. Even those who usually criticise EVs could not hold back and appreciated the company for making something out of the box, which looks surely ahead of its time. Introduction They say there are cars you drive—and then there comes some set of wheels that redefine what it means to drive. The latter statement perfectly fits the Cyberster. Last weekend, we were lucky enough to sit behind the wheel of the latest offering from the brand. We experienced the vehicle at Asia's one of the largest race tracks, Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. And let's tell you—this wasn't just a test drive; it was a quantum leap into the future of sports cars. The moment we landed at its cockpit by opening the scissor doors, we instantly felt why the price tag is worth it. In this article, we have listed the top pointers about the Cyberster, mentioning why it could be a wise decision to choose it if you are planning to get something in the same segment. Scroll down to know more. Supercar-level performance At Decent Pricing First things first, the battery and performance, as this is the only thing one is willing to spend this much money on. At this affordable price range, the MG Cyberster comes with a dual-motor AWD 77kWh battery pack that generates an insane power of 503 bhp and more than 720 Nm of peak torque. It is capable of doing a 0 to 100 kmph sprint in just 3.2 seconds, giving close competition to any F1 car. Sounds impressive, right? 10/10 For Aesthetics, Design And Features The model is filled with a lot of eye-catching elements. However, there are a few that grab attention in no time, and we are talking about its scissor doors, followed convertible soft roof, complemented by a sleek, low-slung body and full LED setup at both ends. The interior echoes a gaming‑cockpit aesthetic with three wraparound digital screens. One is used as an infotainment system, while the remaining ones allow the customers to have all the important details about the car, such as speed, driving modes, RPM, battery level, and charging capacity, among others. The plush stitched surfaces, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and an 8-speaker Bose system put extra feathers to its cap, making it a premium brand ambience at a lower cost. 'Kitna Deti Hai"? When talking about an electric sports car, the range comes first in the head as no one would like to sit at home due to range anxiety. The 77kWh battery setup offers a certified range of up to 580km on a single charge. It means you can enjoy extended drives without thinking about the charger all the time. To make it more convenient, it also supports a fast-charging option that can make it 10–80 percent in around 40 minutes, using a DC charger. Exclusive Yet Accessible Premium Ownership The EV falls on the company's premium range, and is sold through MG's new 'MGSelect" premium showrooms in India. The customers will be able to get luxury-brand treatment without paying a bomb. It offers flagship-level design, features and service without making a big hole in the pocket as compared to other sports cars. Silent Is New Loud Despite being built on an electrified platform, the model does not feel silent inside the cabin at all. It will keep you hooked with its insane acceleration without waking up your neighbours. It offers a decent sound bar that feels like no less than a melody to the ears, and gives an instant adrenaline rush as well. This makes it a serene yet thrilling convertible drive experience unlike any petrol sports car. Final Word The model is not trying to imitate tradition—it's rewriting it in a unique style. If you are ready to trade noise for nuance, and nostalgia for next-gen thrills, the Cyberster could be a wise choice for you. It is smart, bold, aesthetic and ahead of its time. top videos View all About the Author Shahrukh Shah Shahrukh Shah, Sub-Editor at News18, loves to write about everything that moves on wheels.
