2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring S6 MY26 AWD

The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring is the range-topping expression of Subaru’s family SUV, combining a petrol-electric powertrain with the reassurance of all-wheel drive. Finished in Ice Silver and presented as a used demonstrator, this example has travelled 12,026 kilometres and carries the S6 MY26 specification.

Its hybrid system is built around a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and is intended to make everyday driving more efficient without asking owners to give up the practicality associated with the Forester name. The continuously variable transmission includes an eight-speed manual mode, giving the driver additional control when desired while retaining the smooth, low-effort character expected of a CVT in urban traffic.

All-wheel drive is a central part of the Forester’s appeal. It provides a useful foundation for varied road conditions and complements the SUV’s broad-ranging role, whether the vehicle is being used for regular commuting, longer-distance travel or access to less predictable surfaces. The combination of hybrid assistance and AWD makes this Touring a particularly versatile interpretation of the model.

Inside, the Touring specification focuses on comfort and convenience. Alcantara and leather-appointed seating gives the cabin an upmarket feel, while heated and ventilated front seats help tailor the interior to changing conditions. Power-adjustable front seats with driver memory add useful repeatability for shared driving, and dual-zone climate control allows the front occupants to set their preferred temperatures independently.

Technology is integrated with day-to-day usability in mind. The touchscreen infotainment system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite navigation and a wireless charging pad, reducing the need for cables during longer journeys. A premium sound system adds further refinement, while smart-key access and push-button starting simplify routine use. The sunroof helps bring more light into the cabin, and the power tailgate is a practical touch when loading luggage or shopping.

Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assistance suite is supported by adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assistance and driver monitoring. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors provide additional awareness in busy areas, while the 360-degree surround-view monitor can make close manoeuvres easier to judge. The listed safety equipment also includes nine airbags.

Externally, the Touring’s specification is distinguished by 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with steering-responsive function, power-folding mirrors, roof rails and a panoramic sunroof. Together with the Forester’s upright SUV proportions, these details support a practical design that prioritises visibility, passenger space and everyday accessibility.
