The New 2025 Subaru Forester

Subaru EyeSight

The 2025 Forester AWD compact SUV features upgraded standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology with a wider field of view and greater range for even more confidence and peace of mind. EyeSight acts like an extra set of eyes on the road and, if need be, an extra foot on the brake when you drive. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive. Automatic Emergency Steering is available to help you avoid collisions by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene.

Pre-Collision Braking

Automatic Pre-Collision Braking4 helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering adds extra convenience and safety on every drive. Just choose the distance you want to keep from the car in front of you, and it can take some of the stress out of everyday driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control while maintaining a safe distance ahead.

The Blind-Spot Detection system warns you with a visual indicator on each side mirror if it senses a vehicle in your blind spots.
