The Subaru Forester Limited Hybrid combines the flexibility of the everyday, greater efficiency, and the affordable usability of the number 1 Forester model that drivers and owners love. For anyone who wants a comfortable SUV without compromising Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, we present the Subaru Forester Limited Hybrid.
Visit Ewing Subaru of Plano to test-drive the Forester Limited Hybrid and see how its features complement your lifestyle. If you’re commuting on Plano roads, heading to the DFW area, or going out-of-town for the weekend, this SUV can easily handle all your driving demands. And the hybrid powertrain gives you the advantage of less time spent in the fuel line while still providing all the comfortable passenger space, cargo room, and road prowess of a traditional SUV.
One of the most significant benefits of owning this Subaru SUV is the capability of its hybrid powertrain to adapt to your driving style. When paired with the gasoline engine, your electric motor gives you the efficiency of an electric vehicle, which can be particularly useful in the city.
Powering this and other trucks in the line is a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which produces 194 horsepower. This means owners get a practical mix of power and efficiency, with the constant velocity transmission responsible for smooth deliveries of power, and the standard all-wheel-drive system making fearfulness against slick roads a given after North Texas thunderstorms. An available 1,500-pound tow capacity completes the package.
Ground clearance and X-MODE provide good capabilities away from paved city roads. Although this is not a hard-core off-road SUV, a good grip on dirt roads and parking lots with rough surfaces, as well as occasional outdoor trips, make it very usable for those who like to go on a camping trip on the weekend or to other places.
Choosing the right Forester depends on which features matter most to your driving routine.
The Limited Hybrid is a sensible middle ground for shoppers who want more comfort and convenience than the entry hybrid trim without necessarily moving to the Touring model.
Besides shopping by specifications, you want to choose an SUV from a dealership capable of guiding you through which configurations are on offer, how your trade-in is valued, and what finance arrangements work for you.
Visit our Ewing Subaru of Plano dealership to discover our available Forester models, check out hybrid vs. gas models, and learn about the features that fit your needs.

Should I buy the Forester Limited Hybrid to commute every day?
The Forester Limited Hybrid is a great choice if you want an SUV that is both fuel-efficient and accommodating. When it’s equipped with the hybrid powertrain, the EPA estimates it can reach 35 MPG in the city and on the highway. The Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides added traction when roads are wet or rough, and the Limited adds luxury touches to the seats and other conveniences.
How does the Forester Limited Hybrid compare to a regular Forester?
As for efficiency, the SUV’s hybrid powertrain is EPA-estimated at 35 MPG combined compared to the conventional model’s maximum of 29 MPG. The electric motor works in combination with the gasoline engine to enhance efficiency, especially in stop-and-go driving and city conditions. Actual fuel economy can vary based on factors such as driving style, traffic, weather conditions, and road conditions. Visitors to Ewing Subaru of Plano can check out both powertrains and select the model best suited to their driving needs.
What is the Limited Hybrid extra feature?
The Limited Hybrid offers a handful of extra comforts and amenities that aren’t available with the Premium Hybrid. The Limited Hybrid comes with upgraded interior seating material, an 8-way front passenger seat, and a heated steering wheel. The other upgrades include rain-sensing windshield wipers, a hands-free power rear gate, more driver-assistance features, and Reverse Automatic Braking. This list of add-ons makes the Limited an especially attractive option for drivers who enjoy their time on the road.
Can the Forester Limited Hybrid survive the Texas rain and the outside the city?
Yes. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive will send extra power to your wheels to help you maintain traction during slippery conditions. Dual-Function X-MODE has Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud modes; Hill Descent Control helps descend certain types of slopes. All-wheel drive can make dirt and gravel roads outside of city limits and other outdoor destinations like those near Plano easier to handle; however, it does not prevent hydroplaning, so you should always drive with proper tires and at safe speeds when it’s pouring in Texas.
Is the Forester Limited Hybrid family friendly?
For smaller families, the 5-passenger SUV is a sensible family SUV that delivers comfortable accommodation and versatile cargo space. For comfortable seating for your friends and family, the middle row of seats handles passengers, and the flat backrests fold down for strollers, shopping bags, sports gear, and travel luggage. The hands-free power rear gate opens easily when your hands are full, and at Ewing Subaru of Plano, you can view the interior, sit in the seats, and judge if the cargo space fits your daily needs.
