The All-New 6th Generation Forester launches with advanced Strong Hybrid System
Delivering over 1000km of Range and Uncompromised Capability

Singapore, 17th September, 2025 – Motor Image Enterprises today launched the highly anticipated all-new Subaru Forester e-BOXER hybrid, a bold and capable SUV focusing exclusively on a new-generation strong hybrid system. Engineered for extraordinary adventures, the all-new Forester blends advanced, eco-conscious performance with Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD), an arsenal of next-generation safety technologies, and a host of premium comfort features, delivering a vehicle that is built for adventures without compromise.


The New-Generation Strong Hybrid System

At the heart of the all-new Forester is a sophisticated e-BOXER strong hybrid powertrain, meticulously engineered for a perfect harmony of efficiency, performance, and quiet operation while providing the unique driving feel of a Subaru.

  • How it Works: Drivers can enjoy efficiency and simplicity with its intelligent, self-charging system that requires no external plugging in. The system intelligently draws power from either engine, motor or both; ensuring optimal power and efficiency in all conditions. At low to mid speeds, the vehicle operates on EV Drive mode1, electric-only power for silent, zero-emission urban driving, and switches to engine-primary operation during highway driving. The electric motor assists during acceleration and hill climbing, providing instant torque for a responsive 'e-Turbo' feel and an overall smooth, linear driving experience.
  • Core Components: The system pairs a 2.5L horizontally-opposed, 4-cylinder, DOHC 16-valve SUBARU BOXER engine with a powerful electric motor integrated into the transmission.
  • Exceptional Range and Efficiency: This advanced setup, paired with a large 63L fuel tank, delivers an ultra-high driving range of over 1000km per tank2.
  • Improved Lineartronic Transmission: The updated Lineartronic transmission integrates the drive motor, power generation motor, front differential, and electronically controlled coupling into a single compact, high-precision unit. This efficient design maintains Subaru’s balanced weight distribution while maximizing energy utilization for powerful acceleration and enhanced quietness.
  • Enhanced Comfort: A new Electric Compressor ensures the air-conditioning system remains running even when the engine is off at idle, maintaining cabin comfort in stop-and-go traffic.

Uncompromised Capability & Advanced Driving Dynamics

The Forester e-BOXER Hybrid is built on the evolved Subaru Global Platform, which has been enhanced for superior driving dynamics and comfort.

  • Chassis and Ride Comfort: The chassis rigidity has been improved by 10% through a full inner frame construction and the wider use of structural adhesives. This minimizes vibrations and reduces sudden body movements, providing a unified feel of steering and vehicle stability on any road. A specially designed suspension further improves ride comfort and better handling.
  • Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD): The Forester retains its legendary SAWD system without compromise. Paired with the new strong hybrid system, it continuously adjusts power in real time to maintain optimal traction, ensuring superior grip and stability across all conditions.
  • Go-Anywhere Prowess: A generous 220mm ground clearance3 ensures exceptional performance on unpaved surfaces and off-road environment. This is complemented by dual-function X-MODE, which offers reliable support on rough terrain and makes it easier to free the vehicle from mud. Hill Descent Control is also included to help maintain a constant speed on slippery downhills.
  • Customizable Performance: Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) tailors the engine response to driver preference, offering an "Intelligent (I)" mode for fuel efficiency and a "Sport (S)" mode for enhanced driving enjoyment with powerful acceleration.

A Premium, Practical, and Connected Interior

The cabin of the all-new Forester is a sanctuary of modern design and generous comfort, offering class-leading space around both front and rear seats.

  • Ergonomic Design: Co-developed by SUBARU and a Japanese medical centre, the new generation of seats are ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue on all journeys. To achieve this, the seat rails are attached directly to the chassis for improved rigidity, reduced vibration, and better body support. Drivers benefit from a 10-way power-adjustable seat with lumbar support, with seating available in premium leather. This focus on comfort is most noticeable during long trips, providing a level of driving pleasure that not only rivals but even surpasses that of European cars.
  • Technology Hub: A large 11.6-inch Full HD infotainment display serves as the intuitive command centre. It is connected to a premium audio system featuring Harman/Kardon audio system with 10 speakers, a subwoofer, and an 8-channel amplifier.
  • Seamless Connectivity: The system features wireless Apple CarPlay4 and Android Auto5 and a Qi wireless charging6 pad for compatible devices. Both front (Type-A and C) and rear USB power ports are provided for all passengers.

  • Versatile Conveniences: The Forester is equipped with a Kick Sensor-activated Hands-free Power Rear Gate, a Power-sliding, tilt-adjustable glass sunroof, and 60/40-split folding rear seats to easily accommodate long or bulky gear. The 484-litre cargo area is further enhanced with LED Cargo Lights for better visibility.

A New Benchmark in All-Around Safety

Subaru’s commitment to safety is absolute, with a comprehensive approach covering every aspect of vehicle safety.

  • Robust Passive Safety: The Forester is built around a Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame and cabin-protecting layout. The rear chassis has been specially reinforced to limit intrusion and protect the high-voltage battery in an impact. Occupants are protected by eight SRS airbags7, including a new passenger seat cushion SRS airbag for improved frontal collision safety.
  • Enhanced EyeSight 4.08: The latest generation of Subaru’s driver assist technology now uses a wide-angle monocular camera, significantly expanding the detection range for pedestrians and bicycles. Enhanced EyeSight 4.0 offers nine preventive safety functions, which are Lane Centering Function, Lane Departure Prevention, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Sway Warning, Autonomous Emergency Steering, Pre-Collision Throttle Management, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert, as well as Pre-Collision Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control, which have been improved for even better performance.

  • Advanced Safety Systems: The Forester introduces two new crucial safety features:
    • Emergency Driving Stop System9: This can detect a prolonged period of driver inactivity, indicating a potential emergency, and automatically bring the vehicle to a complete, safe stop.
    • Driver Monitoring System10: A dedicated camera with facial recognition software monitors the driver for fatigue or lack of attention. It also recognizes up to five pre-registered drivers to provide customized settings for a personalized and convenient experience.
  • Superior Visibility and Active Safety: The vehicle's design prioritizes high visibility to help spot obstructions early. This is supported by features like Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH), High Beam Assist (HBA), a 360-Degree Multi View Monitor, Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB), and Active Torque Vectoring. Additionally, the new LED Cornering Lamps provides safer driving at night and in dark carparks by illuminating the diagonal front edges of the area ahead of the Forester when it is turning at below 35 km/h.

Bold and Commanding Exterior Design

The all-new Forester commands attention with a bold and commanding presence suited for both urban and offroad environments. Its dynamic front fascia features a redesigned grille and striking C-shaped LED headlights, creating a powerful first impression. Muscular wheel arches frame the large, 19-inch aluminium-alloy wheels, emphasizing the vehicle's capable stance.
