5 Family-Friendly Features That Make the 2025 Subaru Forester Perfect for Ontario Families
January 15 2025,
The 2025 Subaru Forester features a comprehensive redesign that prioritizes families, enhancing its 25-year legacy with innovative features that simplify, secure, and enhance daily life. This sixth-generation SUV elevates the family driving experience with thoughtful updates, from enhanced safety technology to clever storage solutions that adapt to growing families' needs.
Advanced Safety Features Protect What Matters Most
The 2025 Forester introduces an enhanced EyeSight system that watches out for your family in more ways than ever. The new wide-angle camera spots cyclists and pedestrians sooner at intersections, while the Emergency Stop Assist feature adds another layer of protection by safely stopping the vehicle if a driver becomes unresponsive. Parents will appreciate the standard Rear Seat Reminder system, which helps prevent accidentally leaving children or pets in the back seat.
A Quieter, More Comfortable Family Space
Family conversations become easier with the Forester's redesigned cabin, which reduces roof noise by 39 percent. The new climate control system focuses on occupied seats rather than the entire cabin, keeping everyone comfortable while improving efficiency. The front seats feature slimmed-down shoulder areas, making it easier to reach back to help children or access car seats. Heated front seats come standard, with ventilated options available for those warm summer drives around Ontario.
Smart Storage Solutions for Family Life
The Forester's cargo area now offers 2,107 litres of space with the rear seats folded, accommodating everything from hockey bags to camping gear. New heavy-duty utility hooks – three on each side of the cargo area and two on the rear gate – provide secure anchoring points for family gear. The available hands-free power liftgate opens with a simple foot movement under the rear bumper, perfect for those times when arms are full of groceries or sports equipment.
Technology That Keeps Everyone Connected
Modern families stay connected with the Forester's updated technology features. The available 11.6-inch touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eliminating cable clutter. Both USB-A and USB-C ports in the rear seats keep devices charged on long drives to cottage country. The new what3words navigation integration makes finding exact locations, like trailheads or picnic spots, remarkably simple.
Built for Ontario Family Adventures
The Forester's enhanced all-wheel drive system and 220-millimetre ground clearance handle everything from snowy Vaughan winters to muddy spring camping trips. The X-MODE system with Hill Descent Control provides extra confidence on steep cottage roads or ski resort parking lots.
