2025 Subaru Forester Premium Overview near Santa Maria, CA

2025 Subaru Forester shown above with available features.

By choosing the 2025 Subaru Forester Premium as your next vehicle, you’ll be setting yourself up for many years of enjoyable drives in the Santa Maria area should you plan to stay here long term. You can find the Forester here at Subaru of San Luis Obispo and get a more detailed look at its various features to see if it’s the right compact SUV for you.

Performance

A 2.5L SUBARU BOXER 4-cylinder engine is what the Forester Premium relies on for generating its 180 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft of torque to surge forward. This powertrain is tied to the Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission that features a low shift mode for rides that will feel smooth and steady until you arrive at your desired destinations. The X-MODE® will also play a major role in performance by optimizing the engine output and transmission ratio among various other elements to provide you with greater traction when encountering more slippery surfaces. This SUV has a Hill Descent Control system as well, so you can tackle hills and slopes with greater reliability.

Cabin

Inside the 2025 Subaru Forester Premium is its 10-way power adjustable driver’s chair and a 4-way manually adjustable passenger seat that will aim to keep you and your copilot comfortable amidst your drives down Route 101. The customization will do a good job of catering to your searching preferences, but the heating component that also comes with these chairs is where they’ll truly shine. If you’re meeting family and friends at Waller Park for a picnic and barbecue, then load up all the supplies you’ll need by lowering the 60/40 folding rear seats to access the 69.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume of this model.

Technology

Your time spent behind the wheel of the 2025 Subaru Forester Premium will be kept lively with the many infotainment options that are provided by the SUBARU STARLINK® 11.6-inch multimedia plus touchscreen. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing soundtrack or your favorite sports radio talk show, the 6-speaker sound system of the Forester Premium will provide a quality listening experience. When you’re on your lunch break and hanging out in the parking lot outside your place of work, you can still have access to a strong internet connection if you use the 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability1 that this vehicle provides. The dual-zone automatic climate control will also keep the cabin temperature at a comfortable level for you and your copilot while you enjoy the many more amenities that you’ll find in this compact SUV when you come to our dealership during business hours!

It's worth the drive from Santa Ynez. I love my Subaru Crosstrek, and I want it to be my last car. She was due for her 60,000-mile service, which I knew was a big one ($$$$)... I made an appointment online (a nice feature offered by all Subaru dealers) .... I made it for 1pm. The next day, I was called, and my service advisor said this was a large service, and it would take up to 5 hours to get it done. They offered me a loaner car at no extra charge. The loaner was a 2024 Forrester Ascent. Super nice vehicle... much bigger and nicer than my own car! Very thorough, very professional, and friendly service staff. They are my Dealership now!

Thank you!

Ladies if you want to buy a car and have a great experience see Alex Nikolaou. My sister (70's) wanted to buy a car, so she brought me along to be the "heavy". Alex met us when we pulled up to the front of the dealership. He introduced himself and I told him we were not buying a car today. He appreciated; I was honest. As my sister looked around, she fell in love with the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness package. My sister test drove the vehicle and learned more about the active cruise control and active driving options on the vehicle. Alex showed her how to use the options and respectfully answered all our questions. We had a goal to walk away and have dinner and discuss the options. Alex said he would put some numbers together and send to us via text. We did not feel pressure or dirty leaving the dealership to think on this vehicle. The trade in price on her Subaru Outback was reasonable so we slept on the idea of a new car. In the morning we text Alex and set up an appt to come and test drive the car again. Alex explained all the nuances of the Forester compared to her older Outback. What sold my sister was the front camera, SLO has small parking spaces, and the front camera is fantastic for pulling into tight spaces. The cameras on this car make it easy to get in and out of parking spots without hitting the curb in front. What I would like to say about this experience is if you want your Grandmother, Mother or Sister to feel respected and not taken advantage of go see Alex at Subaru of San Luis Obispo. As my sister and I asked questions Alex slowly explained the answers. He did not talk down to us, and we had tons of questions. I did not feel dirty or swindled leaving the dealership after the purchase. Subaru of San Luis Obispo has a young gentleman, “Porter” to help explain all the electronic in the new car. My sister can go into this dealership any time in the future and ask for explanations of this knob, switch or setting up the apple car play to her current apple phone or when she upgrades to the new apple phone. The customer service at this dealership is outstanding. We recommend working with Alex for all your Subaru needs.

Randy Gregory was our salesman and made the car buying experience super stress free. We came in for a test drive and weren't pressured to make the sale immediately. Came back after testing a few other models at other dealers with other sales people and by far Randy was the easiest and most transparent on features, price, etc. I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO!

Highly recommend this business for everyone.

We found a wonderful used car on their site and enquired about financing and within a hour was contacted by Liam a true professional who asked us to come in on Christmas eve and we felt like family members and never felt any pressure and everyone went above and beyond for us to give us the best buying experience we've ever had. Thank you so much Liam, Paras, and Peter for being the best in the business for us and our purchase. Highly recommend this business for everyone.

Will likely be the only shop I ever buy from again.
