CR has purchased a 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Premium for its test program! On this episode, we share our first impressions on how it is different than the recently updated gas model, the performance of the powertrain and how it feels to drive vs the standard version, our early fuel efficiency experiences in the real world, and how it compares to the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, and others in the crowded small SUV segment. We also give expert advice on whether adding premium fuel to your vehicle will deliver improved performance, and if buying a car from the 2010s will future proof a driver who wants to avoid too much tech behind the wheel.
