Subaru Forester Named Parents Best Crossover

The all-new 2025 Subaru Forester continues to impress everyone that gets behind the wheel, not because it is the flashiest of vehicles, but because it does everything just right. The Forester is attractive, comfortable, incredibly safe, has brilliant industry-leading safety tech, and offers affordable pricing for families of all sizes. Parents, a leading publication for nearly 100 years, is devoted to helping parents find the best products and services for their needs.  

A Real Award Winner  

For the 2025 Parents Best Family Cars Awards, the Forester drove away as 2025’s Best Crossover by a six-person panel that included all automotive reviewers and industry experts that tested over 180 vehicles in 22 different categories. The main reasons the Forester won were for its budget-friendly MSRP, features, and adventurous spirit.  

A Word from Parents  

“The Forester continues to be a family favorite for its surprisingly roomy cabin and rear seat, giving this compact SUV more space than you’d expect. Its large wide windows offer everyone great visibility, and its “go anywhere, do anything” attitude inspires families to get out of the house and back into nature.” 

Base Price and Trim Levels 

With a base MSRP of $31,415, buyers can choose between five different trim levels, including the Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring. All models come standard with a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® four-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. All of that power is routed through a Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to all four wheels via the world class and legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which is also standard on all trim levels.  

Cargo Capacity 

When hauling kids and all their stuff, the 29.6 cubic feet of rear cargo space will surely come in handy. And for those times when you need to move furniture, TVs, or other large items, the rear seats fold flat to give owners 74.4 cubic feet of space.  

Some of the Best Safety Technology Available 

Speaking of family, Subaru takes that into great consideration when designing and engineering each of its new models, and the Forester was no different. It’s no wonder why it’s been an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ every year since 2007, including the 2025 model year. The award-winning and advanced EyeSight Driver Assist Technology assists drivers and protects all occupants by including Pre-Collision Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control. Available safety features include Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Emergency Stop Assist.
