Should I buy a used Subaru Forester now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2025 model is at −6.86% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −7.32%.
  • Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.7% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,763. The Subaru Forester offers a roomy cabin and a practical, family-friendly character that has long been central to its appeal.

Consider waiting if:

  • Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model uses a normally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, and Subaru says the Wilderness should get 26 mpg in combined driving.
  • Tech: The latest model includes a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel and an 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
  • Safety: Subaru’s latest Forester adds improved rear seatbelts to enhance occupant safety.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
