The New Subaru Forester Will Be Made in America

The New Subaru Forester Will Be Made in America

It’s that time of the year when Japanese automakers are releasing details about how they performed in the previous fiscal year, which ended on March 31. Usually, companies also make some major announcements, such as Mazda’s confirmation of a next-generation CX-5 hybrid. Subaru has some important news to share as well–production of the new Forester is coming to United States.

The sixth-generation model will be assembled in Indiana at the factory in Lafayette. Production capacity won’t be a concern because the Legacy sedan is going away after the 2025 model year. Subaru also intends to produce a hybrid version of the Forester at the same site from 2026. It’ll continue to make the Forester domestically at the factory in Ōta located in the Gunma Prefecture in Japan.
