Hong Kong, July 11, 2025 - Inchcape Hong Kong today proudly announces the official launch of the all-new 2025 Subaru Forester e-BOXER Hybrid, now available for sale. Staying true to Subaru’s adventurous spirit while fully upgrading its technology and design, the new model delivers an elevated driving experience for outdoor enthusiasts and family-focused drivers alike.
The all-new Forester e-BOXER Hybrid debuts with Subaru’s advanced parallel hybrid system, combining a 2.5L horizontally opposed engine with a high-output electric motor. Paired with a 63L fuel tank, the system achieves an impressive driving range of over 1,000 km10, reducing long-distance range anxiety. During acceleration or uphill climbs, the motor provides instant torque for smooth and powerful performance, while regenerative braking captures energy during deceleration and downhill driving for automatic recharging.
At start-up, low speeds, or in heavy traffic, the system seamlessly switches to automatic EV Drive Mode11, ensuring a quiet and refined ride. At highway cruising speeds, the engine takes the lead, while the system intelligently alternates between power sources and charging based on driving conditions and driver habits. This ensures outstanding fuel efficiency and maximizes the benefits of hybrid technology — without the need for external charging.
Equipped with Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive paired with the hybrid system, the Forester maintains the brand’s hallmark real-time power distribution and stability across diverse road conditions. The newly developed 8-speed Lineartronic automatic transmission with integrated motor enhances responsiveness and preserves Subaru’s signature balanced layout, offering superior handling.
With X-MODE off-road drive mode, hill descent control, 220 mm ground clearance12, and 500 mm wading depth, the Forester retains its legendary off-road capability, instilling confidence in any terrain or weather.
Built on the enhanced Subaru Global Platform, the new chassis increases torsional rigidity by 10%, reducing vibrations while improving steering response and vehicle stability. A dedicated long-travel suspension system for the hybrid series further enhances ride comfort and handling, while reinforced frame design provides extra protection for the battery.
The Forester e-BOXER Hybrid introduces the upgraded EyeSight 4.0 Driver Assist Technology13, offering a wide range of intelligent safety functions including Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Lane Departure Prevention, Lane Sway Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Collision Avoidance Throttle Management, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert. With three stereo cameras providing nearly double the monitoring angle and range, the system is more effective at issuing alerts or automatically intervening to help avoid or mitigate collisions.
Newly added is the Emergency Driving Stop System14, which detects when the driver is inactive for a prolonged period and safely brings the vehicle to a stop with alerts and assistance. Additional safety features include Driver Monitoring System15, Active Torque Vectoring, Vehicle Dynamics Control, Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB), Auto Vehicle Hold (AVH), and a full suite of airbags16 — ensuring comprehensive protection and stability on every journey.
The Forester e-BOXER Hybrid also adopts a refreshed design language that fuses modern sophistication with adventurous character. The hexagonal front grille is framed by sharp C-shaped LED headlights, complemented by redesigned LED taillights and an updated Forester logo. A roof rack, sporty rear spoiler, and newly introduced 19-inch alloy wheels further highlight its rugged SUV persona. Three new exterior colors debut: River Rock Pearl, Cashmere Gold Opal, and Daybreak Blue Pearl.
Inside, the Forester is fitted with a new 11.6-inch full HD touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay®17 and enhanced functionality. Paired with a premium Harman Kardon® audio system, it delivers a heightened in-car entertainment experience.
Convenience features include wireless charging, USB Type-A & Type-C ports, and ergonomically designed seats. The front seats are directly mounted to the chassis for reduced vibration, with 10-way power adjustment (driver’s seat with lumbar support) and 8-way power adjustment for the passenger seat. Premium leather upholstery is available in black or brown, ensuring comfort and style for every journey.
The 2025 Subaru Forester e-BOXER Hybrid is now officially available in Hong Kong at a starting price of HK$369,80018. For more information and pre-order details, please visit:SUBARU Hong Kong
