2025 Subaru Forester for Sale near Chicago, IL

2025 Subaru Forester with optional features shown above.

Here in the Chicago metropolitan area, having a vehicle that can handle snowy or icy conditions is an absolute necessity. To maintain your confidence behind the wheel even during the worst of blizzards, invest in one of the brand-new models available for sale at McGrath Evanston Subaru! The 2025 Subaru Forester is a compact SUV that may be particularly suited for your needs.

Performance

Subarus are popular in regions with severe winters thanks to their standard Subaru Symmetrical AWD. Unlike similar systems from competing manufacturers, this feat of engineering engages all four wheels at all times instead of activating only when slippage is detected. When you test drive the Forester, you’ll feel the stability this mechanism adds to your piloting experience as the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine sends 180 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque to both the front and rear axles. Having this all-weather capability won’t compromise your efficiency, courtesy of the standard Continuously Variable Transmission that allows for a 26/33 MPG city/hwy1 fuel economy rating. Even so, this vehicle can flex a 1,500-lb. maximum towing capacity2 and be used for light-duty hauling.

Exterior

When you pull up at Logan Square, do you want to be noticed for how good-looking your vehicle is? Then the 2025 Subaru Forester will be a great choice, as its redesigned exterior provides an ideal blend of rugged appeal and modern sophistication. The standard raised roof rails where outdoor gear like kayaks can be stowed showcase your adventurous spirit for the world to see. Meanwhile, the brightness of the standard LED steering-responsive headlamps does not pale compared to the incandescent urban lights prevalent all around the Windy City. This SUV’s outer shell is also engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions. For example, a windshield wiper de-icer and heated side mirrors are available to help you maintain visibility during snowfall. Last but not least, the available foot-activated power liftgate makes it easy for you to load the cargo area!

Interior

When Lake Michigan freezes, the cabin of the 2025 Forester will serve as a haven where you can retreat from the cold. Both the front seats and rear outboard chairs can be equipped with an available heating function to provide you and your guests with gentle warmth. You can take your winter gloves off too by opting for the available heated steering wheel. The standard dual-zone automatic climate control system will be extremely helpful when you and your copilot disagree on the ideal temperature setting for the cabin. The optional all-weather floor liners allow you to protect the carpets from slush that you’ll inevitably track inside as you enter and exit your vehicle. Our team of experts is only a phone call away from assisting you!

5 Star Service! A couple shout-outs. Jeff helped us get moving on a build sheet and purchase order, and was extremely communicative and friendly! We loved working with him while we waited for our car. Derek helped us finalize the order and all of our information, and did a great job. Ken was fantastic on the day-of walking us through all the information on our new car and having a smile throughout! Really incredible staff, as well as a really incredible car!

Eddie my service guy was exceptional.

Eddie my service guy was exceptional. He originally got a “no” from the warranty company about my coverage, but called them back and talked to a supervisor. He persisted and got my repair covered, as it should be. It said it right there on the contract. He also worked with me on the best price for tires. Eddie was great! My only snafu was in picking up my car (the next morning because there was no courtesy driver available). I paid, then waited 10-15 minutes for my car to be driven up, which it never was. I finally walked around and found it, right outside the garage and tracked down someone to just give me my keys. Clearly, there was a mess up in communicating to someone to get me my car, even though both the cashier and a guy whose attention I was able to get said it should be coming soon.

They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

I bought this 2010 Forrester for my sister 12 years ago. We have taken our car to Evanston Subaru for all our service needs and have always been treated well. I recommend this dealership. It is staffed with good people and competent mechanics. The facility is always clean. This is noticeable. They even wash my car without being asked.. When the service personnel recommend areas needing attention, I trust them for caring for our safety. They care about keeping our Subaru in the best running condition. Thank you for caring!

George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind.

Great. I called first so it would be OK to get my 2018 Subaru Forester towed in because the engine oil light came on, with a message on my dashboard. George told me since I didn't have an appointment it would be worked on the next day. (The towing service was great). They found a quart of oil missing, and some other things to fix. George worked with my budget for an oil change and back brake replacement. Extremely kind. Then they always fill the tires with air, and give a free carwash before I go. The technicians worked really hard in 104 degree weather. I waited in the waiting area: free coffee, water and a granola bar. Thank you!

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful.

Every experience I've had at this location has been great and I'm sure everyone who works here is wonderful. That said, Eric is a cut above — he's just incredible. We recently had to get a good amount of work done on our 2015 Forester which had not been taken in for some time. Eric walked me through several different options for repairs and servicing, all with different price breakdowns, and made sure I understood what each service/repair was and why he recommended it. He also worked with his service manager to get me a great deal by not charging to replace our AC condenser which had stopped working. I had stopped going to this location because we moved and it wasn't as convenient, but after this most recent experience with Eric I will only take my Forester here. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!
