Subaru continues to set the benchmark for quality, reliability, and performance, as the 2025 Subaru Forester and 2025 Subaru Crosstrek have once again been named among Consumer Reports’ 2025 Annual 10 Top Picks. This marks the 12th consecutive year for the Forester and the second straight year for the Crosstrek to earn this prestigious recognition.

Exceptional Performance and Value

Consumer Reports’ rigorous evaluation process highlights the Subaru Forester and Crosstrek for their outstanding ride comfort, impressive fuel efficiency, and standard all-wheel drive—features that have made them stand out in their respective segments.

Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Subaru of America, Inc., expressed his pride in the achievement:

“Making Consumer Reports’ Annual 10 Top Picks award again is especially rewarding as their testing is so extensive. The Subaru Forester and Crosstrek remain excellent values for consumers thanks to their capability, fuel economy, safety, and comfort. Making the 10 Top Picks list again is an honor, and I am proud of the vehicles we offer to consumers.”

Subaru Crosstrek: Leading the Subcompact SUV Segment

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek was selected as Consumer Reports’ top Subcompact SUV, earning praise for its comfortable ride, high ground clearance, and ease of entry and exit. This marks the second year in a row that the Crosstrek has made the list, reinforcing its reputation as a versatile and capable small SUV.

Redesigned in 2024, the 2025 Crosstrek continues to offer five distinct trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness, with a starting MSRP of $25,810.

Subaru Forester: A Legacy of Excellence

The 2025 Subaru Forester has now been named to Consumer Reports’ 10 Top Picks for an impressive 12 consecutive years. Its utility, spacious interior, fuel efficiency, and legendary all-wheel drive continue to make it a standout in the compact SUV segment. Redesigned for 2025, the Forester maintains the same winning formula that has made it a favorite among consumers and automotive experts alike.

Available in Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring trims, the 2025 Subaru Forester starts at $29,995 MSRP. Later this spring, Subaru will introduce a 2025 Forester Hybrid, promising up to 40% better fuel economy.
