The 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i is a practical and efficient compact SUV that stands out for its standard all-wheel drive, spacious interior, and impressive visibility. As the base trim in the Forester lineup, the 2.5i offers essential features and strong value, appealing to drivers who prioritize reliability, safety, and year-round usability over luxury or performance. Its conservative yet functional design makes it especially well-suited for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and commuters alike.
Powering the Forester 2.5i is a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can choose between a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT), which offers better fuel economy. While not a fast vehicle, the engine delivers sufficient power for everyday driving, and the CVT operates smoothly under most conditions. Standard all-wheel drive gives the Forester confident traction on slippery roads and light off-road terrain—an advantage over many competitors that charge extra for AWD.
The ride quality is one of the Forester’s strengths. It feels composed and well-planted in corners, with a suspension setup that balances comfort with a touch of sportiness. The steering is responsive, and the elevated ride height combined with large windows provides excellent outward visibility. Road and wind noise are modest, creating a more relaxed driving experience than previous generations. The Forester’s relatively compact footprint also makes it easy to maneuver in urban settings.
Inside, the 2014 Forester 2.5i is surprisingly roomy for a compact SUV. Both front and rear passengers enjoy generous legroom and headroom, and the upright seating position improves comfort on longer drives. The rear seats fold flat easily, expanding cargo capacity to a generous 74.7 cubic feet, which is among the best in the class. Cabin materials in the base trim are basic but durable, and the layout is straightforward and user-friendly. Controls are logically arranged, and the gauges are easy to read, making the vehicle accessible to a wide range of drivers.
While the 2.5i trim doesn’t offer many luxury features, it includes essential safety and convenience equipment. Subaru’s focus on safety is evident even in this base model, which comes with stability control, antilock brakes, front-seat side airbags, and full-length curtain airbags. The Forester also earned top safety scores in crash testing, including a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS when equipped with the optional EyeSight safety suite (available on higher trims).
In summary, the 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i delivers a strong combination of practicality, safety, and value. Its standard all-wheel drive, spacious interior, and composed ride make it a standout in the compact SUV segment, especially for those who need a reliable and capable daily driver that can handle diverse road conditions.
