Subaru is debuting two specialized flavors of its popular Forester crossover at the 2025 Chicago Auto Show, which runs February 8–17. Between the two, the automaker is pushing the sixth-generation Forester’s envelope of appeal into one familiar segment and one that it’s been conspicuously absent from for some time.

In addition to the redesigned Forester Wilderness, the new Forester Hybrid is also believed to make its debut at the 2025 Chicago Auto Show

Subaru presented the new 2025 Forester e-Boxer Hybrid variant in Chicago, as well as the 2026 Crosstrek e-Boxer Hybrid coming to market a bit later.
