Elevating Adventure: Exploring the 2025 Subaru Wilderness Models

Subaru has long been synonymous with reliability, safety, and all-weather capability. In 2025, the brand takes its adventurous spirit to new heights with the Wilderness lineup, specifically engineered for off-road enthusiasts seeking to explore beyond the beaten path. The Forester Wilderness, Outback Wilderness, and Crosstrek Wilderness are designed to conquer rugged terrains while maintaining the comfort and dependability for which Subaru is renowned.

Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is designed for those who seek a compact SUV with enhanced off-road capabilities. With 9.3 inches of ground clearance, a standard front skid plate, and improved approach and departure angles, it's built to navigate challenging trails near Bristol, CT.

Powered by a 182-horsepower, 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, the Crosstrek Wilderness features a lower final-drive ratio for improved low-speed climbing-capable of handling up to a 38-degree grade. The strengthened rear differential adds durability for rugged use. With a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, it's ready to haul your outdoor equipment. 

The Crosstrek Wilderness rides on 17-inch matte black-finish alloy wheels with Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires, providing improved performance on mud, snow, gravel, and rock. The dual-function X-MODE system offers settings to optimize traction in various conditions, enhancing off-road confidence.

Inside, the Crosstrek Wilderness features durable StarTex upholstery and practical design elements to support your adventures around Litchfield, CT. The standard roof rails can handle up to 700 pounds of static load, accommodating bikes, kayaks, or even a rooftop tent.

Subaru Outback Wilderness

The 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness elevates the iconic Outback's capabilities, making it a formidable choice for off-road enthusiasts around Avon. With an impressive 9.5 inches of ground clearance and a standard front skid plate, it's designed to handle rough terrains confidently.

The Outback Wilderness is powered by a 260-horsepower direct-injection turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine, delivering 277 pound-feet of torque. The drivetrain features revised transmission gearing and a shorter final drive ratio for improved low-speed climbing-up to a 40 percent grade. With a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, it's well-suited for hauling camping trailers or boats around Farmington, CT.

Standard 17-inch matte black-finish alloy wheels paired with Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires provide enhanced performance on challenging surfaces. The dual-function X-MODE system allows drivers to select settings tailored for specific conditions, such as deep snow or mud, optimizing traction and stability.

The interior is both rugged and refined, featuring water-resistant StarTex upholstery and anodized copper-finish accents. The Outback Wilderness offers ample cargo space, ensuring you can carry all your adventure gear comfortably.

Subaru Forester Wilderness

The 2025 Subaru Forester Wilderness is tailored for those who crave exploration without compromising daily drivability. Elevated with 9.2 inches of ground clearance, it surpasses competitors like the Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road and Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, allowing drivers in Canton, CT, to navigate over obstacles with ease. The standard front skid plate offers additional protection against rough terrains.

Equipped with 17-inch matte black-finish alloy wheels and Yokohama GEOLANDAR all-terrain tires, the Forester Wilderness ensures optimal traction on various surfaces, from muddy trails to snowy paths. The dual-function X-MODE® system provides settings for snow, dirt, deep snow, and mud, enhancing stability and control in challenging conditions.

Under the hood, a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine delivers 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque, paired with a Lineartronic CVT featuring revised ratios for improved low-speed climbing-capable of tackling up to a 40 percent grade. With a towing capacity of up to 3,000 pounds, the Forester Wilderness is ready for your gear-heavy adventures around Simsbury. 

Inside, the cabin features durable StarTex water-repellent upholstery with a textured honeycomb design and embossed Wilderness logos, combining comfort with practicality. The rear seats fold down to offer up to 69.1 cubic feet of cargo space, accommodating all your equipment with ease.

Upcoming Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Edition

Even with the special equipment and upgrades, the new Crosstrek Wilderness Edition will remain a smartly versatile and efficient small SUV. The upgraded 2.5-liter engine not only gives you a boost of power but is also slightly more efficient than the Crosstrek's base level setup. You'll also have a wealth of standard infotainment systems, the Subaru EyeSight safety features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, and more, and other amenities that are found throughout the new Crosstrek trim level lineup.

Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition 

Of course you get everything else with this Wilderness Edition that's made the Subaru Outback such a special and versatile SUV for years. The standard Subaru Symmetrical AWD system gives you improved traction and control while driving around Canton and Litchfield Hills during rough wintery or rainy conditions, but will also provide a boost for crawling and traversing all sorts of terrains.

Inside, the new Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition, you'll have all kinds of features and amenities that have made other versions of our flagship midsized SUV so special across the years. Along with a large, tablet-style infotainment touchscreen with smartphone integration and other handy tech features, you'll have the standard Subaru EyeSight suite of advanced driver aids. These include:

  • Forward collision mitigation
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Lane keeping assist
  • Automatic high beams
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert

Subaru Forester Wilderness Edition

Even with its raised riding height and special features, equipment, and styling, this Wilderness Edition model still belongs to the Forester SUV lineup. That means you'll enjoy a versatile, relatively efficient, and generously equipped small SUV for all your travels around Bristol, Litchfield Hills, and beyond in your new Subaru Forester Wilderness. Those added features combine nicely with the standard AWD system with a boost in towing and riding height giving you more options for all sorts of adventures you have planned.

Inside, this version of the Subaru Forester is similarly equipped like a few of the lower trim levels. You'll have a standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, smartphone integration, and other amenities for staying connected and entertained during your adventures. You'll also have the standard Subaru EyeSight suite of advanced driver aids, including:

  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Forward collision mitigation
  • Lane departure warning
  • Lane keeping assist

Which Subaru Wilderness Edition Works Best For You?

Now with three SUV options that you can choose with the Wilderness Edition features and upgrades, you'll want to decide on the right fit. If you're really serious about fully capable off-roading and adventuring, the Outback Wilderness Edition is the way to go. This offers the highest ground clearance, the most power, and is tied with the Crosstrek Wilderness Edition with a max trailer rating of 3,500 pounds. The Outback version's roof rack system also features the highest load capacity, both static and dynamic.

However, if you plan on using your Wilderness Edition version of any Subaru SUV for your regular, everyday travels around Bristol and Torrington, the Forester or Crosstrek will be the way to go. The loss of power compared to the Outback's turbocharged output means better fuel economy when sticking to the paved highways around Farmington and Avon, while drivers who don't require high-end tow ratings or passenger and cargo capacity will do better with the smaller Forester or Crosstrek Wilderness Editions.
