New and used 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid for sale near North El Monte, CA

I purchased a new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Touring trim, and so far - with one minor annoyance - I love this car. The ride is very composed, much quieter than previous Foresters, and the top trim has all the bells and whistles. The smooth adaptive cruise control, coupled with automatic lane centering, makes for an exceptionally stress free driving experience. The switch between hybrid (EV) mode and the gas engine is seamless and imperceptible. I know that some have criticized the Forester for being “underpowered”, but the extra horsepower provided by the hybrid system, and the tweaks Subaru made to the low end torque provides all the power you need for everyday driving. The interior is super roomy, the seats are comfortable with lots of adjustments, and the facial recognition feature on the Touring trim - which recognizes saved drivers - magically adjusts the mirrors and the seat to preset positions for each saved driver. The only annoyance is that on the top Touring trim you get a smart rear view mirror which allows you to switch from the conventional mirror to the camera view. This comes super in handy when you have the car packed to the brim and you can’t see out using the conventional mirror. However, this super duper camera rear view mirror doesn’t have the garage door opener buttons. The fact that the top line Forester lacks such a basic amenity as programmable garage door buttons is baffling. Now, I fully recognize this is most definitely a “first world problem” and I can certainly live with my garage door remote clipped to the sun visor, but this seems to be a glaring oversight for a top end trim. That said, I would absolutely buy this car and this trim again. Highly recommended!

I had a truly outstanding experience at Sierra Subaru of Monrovia! From start to finish, the customer service was top-notch, and I especially want to recognize Sandy Perez, my service advisor, for her professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. Sandy went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. She explained every detail clearly, kept me updated throughout the service, and made sure my car was ready on time. It’s rare to find someone who treats customers with such respect and attention — she truly made me feel valued and confident that my Subaru was in great hands. The entire service department was efficient, friendly, and well-organized. My car is running beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Sandy, and the whole Sierra Subaru of Monrovia team for delivering such an exceptional experience! I’ll definitely be returning for all my future service needs and highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for honest and reliable care. 🚗💙

I have only owned this car about a month now, but I really like driving it and I am very glad I bought it. I just wish it had an option to place a spare tire somewhere, but other than that, which is important, I do like it and recommend it to others. I hope the tradeoff of supposedly getting more mileage is worth not having a spare tire.

I always work with Yadira Cedillo when I bring my car in, and she is truly wonderful. She’s incredibly kind, patient, and always explains everything clearly. She never makes me feel rushed or pressured and I really appreciate how she goes out of her way to help. She’s the reason I come back to this dealership. Highly recommend her!

The only unknown is how many MPG I will get, over time. Not you typical Hybrid. It appears to be tuned especially for the Forester.

Everyone is very friendly and my advisor made sure I was taken care and explained everything that was done to my car

Very quiet engine Comfortable interior Some redundancies in the settings and computer features Good handling in different weather conditions Wish it came with a spare tire (or at least the option to have one placed) Exterior could be a little more modern/updated Otherwise great car

This was my second time getting a car from this dealer. Most of the communication was online, but when it was time to come pick up the car I was welcomed by a group of genuinely nice and dedicated people. The overall service was great!

Rafael Ibarra couldn’t have been nicer Service was right on schedule and even washed my car

Good, comfortable talking to the representatives ; answering all questions. I will recommend to my friends.

Great , all around nice people trying to make my experience the most satisfying as possible

Had an overall great experience at Subaru Santa Monica. They were easy to work with and made the buying process straightforward with no major complications. The staff were friendly and helpful, and able to accommodate our needs to get the purchase complete. The location was nice and enjoyable to be at!

I prefer to go to Ocean Subaru for my car repairs as I have experienced great customer service and efficient up to date follow ups.
