The 2025 Subaru Forester Base trim embodies Subaru’s signature blend of dependability, safety, and all-weather versatility. Designed with families and active lifestyles in mind, it provides ample passenger space and robust standard all-wheel drive to conquer the varied Missouri terrain — whether it’s the urban streets of Chesterfield or the forest trails near Valley Park.

With seating for five and an emphasis on practicality, this compact SUV strikes a balance for those who want a vehicle that fits daily commutes, school runs, and weekend outdoor explorations. At Sunset Hills Subaru, we take pride in offering this model that compares favorably with the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V while upholding Subaru’s renowned durability and community focus.

Exterior Style and Practical Flourishes

Emerging with a fresh yet familiar presence, the 2025 Forester’s exterior is thoughtfully redesigned to blend functionality with refined toughness. Its updated sheetmetal presents a more assertive grille flanked by LED headlights featuring steering-responsive technology — a practical enhancement for night or inclement weather driving around communities like Ladue and Maplewood.

The design includes stronger visual character through blacked-out A- and D-pillars and pronounced wheel arches that emphasize the Forester’s capable stance. Measuring 183.3 inches long and 72 inches wide, it strikes an accessible size for tight parking spots in neighborhoods such as Webster Groves or Richmond Heights.

Thanks to an 8.7-inch ground clearance, this Forester Base is ready to navigate Missouri’s typical weather and terrain changes, from rainy streets in Sappington to unpaved backroads near Fenton.

Performance that Matches Missouri Roads

At the Forester Base’s heart is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-four engine, delivering 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This Boxer engine configuration provides balanced power delivery and a low center of gravity that enhances vehicle stability, whether commuting through Chesterfield or heading to weekend hikes near St. Charles.

A smoothly tuned continuously variable transmission (CVT) pairs with this powerplant, optimized for quiet operation and fuel efficiency that meets practical daily needs without sacrificing responsiveness. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive ensures confident traction on Missouri’s wet or snowy roads, providing peace of mind for families in Crestwood, Concord, and beyond.

Advanced torque vectoring technology improves handling dynamics, although the Forester favors comfort over sporty sharpness — making it ideal for those who prioritize steady control over aggressive driving thrills. Steering features a dual-pinion electric-assisted rack derived from Subaru’s WRX, further improving driver feedback at everyday speeds.

Comfort and Space for Active Families

Spacious Cabin and Cargo Versatility

The Forester Base offers an inviting and roomy interior environment, designed to accommodate families and cargo with ease. Front passengers benefit from approximately 43.3 inches of legroom, while the rear seats provide about 39.4 inches, maintaining comfort for adults during longer drives across St. Louis or weekend trips to nearby natural areas.

Cargo volume measures 29.6 cubic feet when all seats are upright, expanding to a generous 74.4 cubic feet when folding the rear seats flat. Designed for flexibility, the rear doors open wide near 90 degrees to facilitate loading bulky sporting equipment or grocery runs through neighborhoods like Glendale or Twin Oaks.

Storage is enhanced with eight utility hooks in the cargo area, supporting secure transport of gear whether you’re headed for a concert in Lakeshire or visiting family in Maryland Heights.

Quality Materials for Everyday Use

Inside, the Forester Base focuses on durable and practical finishes suited for active lifestyles without compromising style. Soft-touch surfaces are complemented by tasteful yet hard-wearing plastics, engineered to stand up to daily use and family wear.

The dashboard and door trim incorporate unique hexagonal textures providing visual interest without premium extravagance, well suited for those balancing function and long-term value. While higher trims include suede accents, the Base model’s thoughtful materials make it a smart choice for residents of Sappington and nearby suburbs seeking enduring quality.

Technology Designed for Seamless Connectivity

For families staying connected on the go, the Forester Base comes equipped with dual 7-inch touchscreen displays dedicated to infotainment and climate control, simplifying access to essential functions without overwhelming drivers in fast-moving traffic around Crestwood or Concord.

Subaru’s featured SUBARU STARLINK® multimedia system facilitates smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing seamless control of navigation, music, and communication apps.

Physical volume and tuning knobs remain to provide intuitive, distraction-minimized adjustments, paired with digital climate control offering efficient temperature regulation that focuses on occupied seats—perfect for mixed-weather drives in Chesterfield’s varying seasons.

Advanced Safety Features You Can Trust

The 2025 Forester Base comes standard with the latest iteration of EyeSight® driver assist technology, Subaru’s renowned safety suite utilizing dual cameras for a broad field of view and rapid response to potential hazards. This system includes:

• Automatic emergency braking
• Lane departure warning and lane keep assist
• Adaptive cruise control with Emergency Stop Assist

Complementing these features are LED headlights with steering-responsive capabilities, boosting nighttime visibility during rain or foggy conditions experienced in Sunset Hills and surrounding communities. Rear visibility is excellent thanks to large windows and thoughtful mirror placement, reducing blind spots during typical St. Louis traffic conditions.

For drivers seeking extra reassurance, optional upgrades like a 360-degree surround-view camera and blind-spot detection become available on higher trims, while the Base model’s safety performance remains competitive with leading compact SUVs.

Trim Levels and Customization Options

The 2025 Forester lineup offers a range of trims tailored to different lifestyles and priorities, from the Base through Premium, Sport, Wilderness, Limited, and Touring variants. While the Base trim prioritizes core essentials, higher trims add features such as:

• 19-inch alloy wheels and panoramic sunroof on Sport and Touring trims
• Ventilated leather seats and DriverFocus fatigue monitoring in Touring
• X-Mode off-road terrain assist in Wilderness

For customers interested in eco-conscious choices, Subaru plans a hybrid option with combined output near 194 horsepower and improved fuel efficiency arriving in spring 2025, broadening the Forester’s appeal to communities across Fenton, Valley Park, and Oakland.
