What gas mileage does a 2025 Subaru Forester get?
For the US 2025 Forester Hybrid, Subaru reports EPA estimates of 35 city / 34 highway / 35 combined mpg. Gasoline Forester, Premium and Limited return 26 / 33 / 29, while gasoline Sport and Touring return 25 / 32 / 28. These are different powertrains, not interchangeable trim ratings.
Applicable to: US model-year 2025 Forester: gasoline trim figures from the December 2024 brochure and Hybrid figures from Subaru of America’s 6 February 2025 release, page 2. Excludes the 2024 Forester Wilderness listed separately in the gasoline brochure and Japanese-market e-BOXER figures.

Match the exact vehicle.
Check 1
Confirm Hybrid badging and the exact US model year before choosing a row. The 35 mpg combined figure applies to the US 2025 Hybrid, not the gasoline Sport or Touring.
Check 2
The gasoline-brochure rows refer to 2025 non-hybrid trims. Its separately listed 2024 Wilderness column is excluded.
Check 3
US EPA mpg is an estimate, not an owner-reported rating or a fuel-use guarantee. Driving, temperature, load and tyres can change real consumption. Do not compare US mpg directly with Imperial mpg, WLTP or Japanese test-cycle values.
Check 4
194 hp is total hybrid-system output; 180 hp is the separate non-hybrid engine rating. Do not add electric and engine peak outputs or transfer hybrid maintenance specifications to a gasoline car.
Where the numbers came from
Gasoline rows: Subaru of America’s revised December 2024 Forester brochure, 2025 non-hybrid trim EPA MPG and engine specifications; the separately labelled 2024 Wilderness column is excluded. Hybrid rows: Subaru of America’s original 6 February 2025 launch release, page 2, downloaded and hash-recorded on 31 October 2026. It states US EPA city/highway/combined estimates and total system output. Manufacturer ratings are not verified-owner reviews.
