That's certainly the case here at our Bethlehem, PA Subaru dealership, where the new 2025 Forester Hybrid is making waves as one of the top partially electrified small SUVs.

2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid vs Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - Capabilities
Subaru fans probably know where we'll start with any comparison with the brand's iconic Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, which, of course, is standard with the new 2025 Forester Hybrid. Toyota makes its AWD system standard with the hybrid version of the RAV4, but that brand-specific drivetrain lacks when it comes to balancing traction and control like the Subaru system does. Meanwhile, the Forester Hybrid rides a bit higher off the ground compared to the RAV4 Hybrid, giving you more clearance when leaving the beaten path around Allentown.
When factoring in the snowy and icy road conditions Allentown and Bethlehem drivers expect during the wintertime, the Subaru Forester Hybrid is the clear choice. From the higher ground clearance to how the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system offers consistent and balanced power to all four wheels, the Forester Hybrid is better suited for helping you safely navigate the toughest Pennsylvania wintery road condition you're bound to drive through from time to time.

2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid vs Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - Safety Aids
Both Subaru and Toyota offer high-end drive assistance tech in their respective hybrid small SUVs. Ask the experts, however, and it's the standard Subaru EyeSight suite that better equips drivers and passengers with confidence-boosting safety and collision avoidance compared to the systems found with the latest Toyota Safety Sense package found with the RAV4 Hybrid.
2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid vs Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - Reliability
As the newer model joining the mix - and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid dropping its Prime moniker in 2025 - the Subaru Forester has yet to see its rankings for reliability and durability. Both Toyota and Subaru are respected by drivers and industry rankers alike for these crucial, value-based qualities. But with the gas-powered Forester besting its Toyota counterpart in the traditional RAV4 for reliability and durability, we expect the same trend to continue with these hybrid variants.
