Subaru continues to lead in quality, reliability, and performance as the 2025 Subaru Forester and 2025 Subaru Crosstrek have been recognized as part of Consumer Reports’ 2025 Annual 10 Top Picks. This prestigious accolade marks the Forester’s 12th consecutive year on the list and the Crosstrek’s second year running, cementing their positions as top performers in their segments.

Unparalleled Performance and Value

Consumer Reports’ exhaustive evaluations have highlighted both models for their exceptional ride comfort, stellar fuel efficiency, and standard all-wheel drive—features that make them true standouts. Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer of Subaru of America, Inc., shared his pride in the achievement:

“Being named to Consumer Reports’ Annual 10 Top Picks again is especially rewarding, given the extensive testing involved. The Subaru Forester and Crosstrek offer outstanding value to consumers with their capability, fuel economy, safety, and comfort. It is an honor to see our vehicles earn this recognition, and I am immensely proud of what we provide.”

Subaru Crosstrek: Leading the Subcompact SUV Class

Selected as Consumer Reports’ top choice in the subcompact SUV category, the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek is praised for its smooth ride, high ground clearance, and ease of entry and exit. Now in its redesigned form for 2024, the Crosstrek continues to impress across five trim levels—Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Wilderness—with a starting MSRP of $25,810.

Subaru Forester: A Legacy of Excellence

For an impressive 12 consecutive years, the 2025 Subaru Forester has maintained its place among Consumer Reports’ Annual 10 Top Picks. Known for its utility, spacious interior, exceptional fuel economy, and legendary all-wheel drive, the Forester remains a standout in the compact SUV segment.

Offered in Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, and Touring trims, the Forester starts at an MSRP of $29,995. Later this spring, Subaru will introduce the 2025 Forester Hybrid, which promises up to a 40% improvement in fuel economy.
