Built for the Bold: Rugged Design with Premium Comfort

The 2025 Subaru Forester for sale at our Subaru store near Whitehouse, TX, features an adventurous profile that’s both sporty and functional. All trims offer roof rails, LED steering-responsive headlights, and aerodynamic shaping for improved efficiency. A bold front fascia, black cladding, and available 19-inch alloy wheels give it that capable, go-anywhere presence.

Inside, the 2025 Subaru Forester interior is crafted for comfort. Spacious seating for five pairs with up to 74.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Premium trim levels at Peltier Subaru add ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and water-repellent upholstery for outdoor adventures. The panoramic moonroof and available hands-free power rear gate round out the upscale experience.

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 offers a similar layout but leans more urban in styling. This Toyota SUV provides competitive interior volume and available SofTex^® seating but lacks the Ultrasuede^® inserts and unique textures that set the 2025 Subaru Forester apart. The blend of outdoor readiness and plush cabin details gives the 2025 Subaru Forester a more flexible character.

Dependable Power from the SUBARU BOXER^® Engine

What’s impressive is that the 2025 Subaru Forester relies on a tried-and-true 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER^® engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. The engine’s horizontal layout contributes to a lower center of gravity, enhancing stability and handling on winding East Texas roads. Paired with a Lineartronic^® CVT and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the 2025 Subaru Forester at our Subaru store near Lindale, TX, offers responsive control in all kinds of weather and terrain. This standard AWD system is especially appealing in a region where rain, rough roads, and travel-ready weekends are common.

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 offers slightly more horsepower from its 2.5-liter engine, with available front-wheel or all-wheel drive. A hybrid version brings added efficiency, but the tradeoff is reduced traction versatility when compared to the Subaru standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. For drivers who prioritize year-round confidence, the 2025 Subaru Forester delivers it without compromise.

Confidence Comes Standard with EyeSight^® Safety

The Subaru commitment to safety shines through with the EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology suite, standard on all 2025 Subaru Forester trims at our Subaru store in Tyler, TX. Features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure, Lane Keep Assist and Sway Warnings, and Pre-Collision Braking. For those who upgrade, available tech like Blind-Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a 360-degree surround view monitor further enhance awareness. Also included on premium 2025 Subaru Forester trims is the DriverFocus^® Distraction Mitigation System, which uses facial recognition to detect signs of drowsiness or inattention, and issues alerts to keep you focused.

The 2025 Toyota RAV4 comes with its own suite of standard driver assistance via Toyota Safety Sense^™ 2.5. Many features overlap, including lane departure alerts and pre-collision braking. However, features like blind spot monitoring and parking sensors are often reserved for top-level trims, while Subaru makes more of them accessible across its lineup.

Smart, Simple Technology That Keeps You Connected

Stay connected on your daily commute or weekend drive with the intuitive tech inside the 2025 Subaru Forester interior. Depending on trim, drivers can enjoy either a 7-inch or 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android^™ Auto, Bluetooth^® hands-free tech, and USB charging ports. Available wireless charging, navigation, and a Harman Kardon^® premium sound system create an elevated driving experience.

The user interface in the 2025 Subaru Forester at our Subaru store in Tyler, TX, is simple and functional, allowing you to focus on the road while staying in control of your media and navigation. Even base trims come equipped with keyless entry, a push-button start, and dual-zone climate control.

By comparison, the Toyota RAV4 offers similar amenities like smartphone integration and JBL^® audio upgrades. However, the layout of its infotainment system can be less user-friendly, and more desirable features tend to be locked behind pricier configurations.
