Subaru's Electrifying Future: The Potential for an Electric Forester

Exciting news is on the horizon for Subaru enthusiasts as reports emerge of a battery-electric version of the beloved Forester SUV. While not officially confirmed by the company, speculation suggests that Subaru is gearing up to electrify its best-selling model, with plans for a potential release in 2025.

As Subaru Australia's top-selling model, the Forester has long been a favorite among drivers seeking reliability, versatility, and rugged performance. While currently available as a hybrid, the prospect of an all-electric variant signals a significant shift in Subaru's approach to sustainable mobility.

A Vision for Electric Expansion

Subaru's commitment to electric vehicles is evident in its ambitious goals for the coming years. With plans to offer four electric cars by the end of 2026, and a target of eight electric models by 2030, the company is investing heavily in electric vehicle development. This includes a staggering ¥1.5 trillion ($AU15.2 billion) investment to propel the electrification of its lineup.

The Next Generation Forester

The new Forester, unveiled at the 2023 Los Angeles Motor Show, builds upon the solid foundation of the Subaru Global Platform (SGP). While not an all-new platform, the revised SGP serves as the backbone for Subaru's latest offerings, ensuring exceptional performance, safety, and reliability.

Collaboration and Innovation

Subaru's partnership with Toyota has played a pivotal role in its electrification efforts. From the Subaru Solterra to the Subaru Crosstrek (formerly XV), the collaboration has led to the development of hybrid and electric vehicles that blend Subaru's renowned all-wheel drive system with Toyota's hybrid technology.

A Shift Towards Independence

While Subaru has leaned on Toyota for hybrid technology in the past, reports suggest that the company may chart its own course with the electric Forester. With the Forester poised for electrification and its product cycle aligning perfectly with this transition, Subaru has the opportunity to lead the charge in its electrification efforts.
