Performance
Subaru has built the 2026 Subaru Forester on an enhanced version of the Subaru Global Platform, delivering a quieter ride and improved handling. Under the hood, a 2.5-liter BOXER engine produces 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for smooth, balanced traction in any weather. A new hybrid variant is also being introduced, pairing the gas engine with an electric motor to produce a combined 194 horsepower. The hybrid improves fuel economy without sacrificing the versatility Subaru is known for.
Trail-Ready Capability
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Wilderness trim returns with trail-tuned enhancements. This model offers 9.3 inches of ground clearance, unique suspension geometry, and underbody skid plates. Dual-function X-MODE® helps tackle snow, mud, and uneven terrain, while all-terrain tires and reinforced drivetrain components boost off-road durability. With up to 3,500 lbs. of towing capacity, the Subaru Forester Wilderness is ready for campers, boats, or gear-filled trailers.
Interior and Tech
Inside the Subaru Forester, function meets comfort in a cabin designed for real-world use. An 11.6-inch touchscreen comes standard on most trims, anchored by Subaru's STARLINK® infotainment system with a high-mounted layout for better visibility and access. The interior offers excellent legroom in both rows and over 69 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded-ideal for any new Subaru vehicle buyer looking for utility that adapts to their lifestyle.
