Introducing the 2026 Subaru Forester

As fun to drive as it is to tag along in, the 2026 Subaru Forester holds its own in the arguably most competitive segment on the market. With balanced performance, generous cargo capacity, and smart technology, this CUV has what you need. Find out how the new Subaru Forester upholds this tradition below in our model overview.

2026 Subaru Forester Feature Summary

Performance

The new Forester proves that capable means so much more than how many horses are under the hood. In the new Forester, you'll find a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine under the hood that can achieve an estimated 26 mpg city/33 mpg highway. Once you factor in agile handling, it's easy to see why the Forester is a CUV that you can both depend on and feel good about driving. The Forester also offers the following:

Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE®)
4-wheel independent suspension
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)

Technology

The most important goal for car manufacturers when designing technology for new models is to implement solutions that keep passengers safe. Options for additional safety features help you monitor the road, navigate tight parking lots, and protect passengers. That means a stress-free ride for everyone in the car is business as usual with the Forester. For an even more comprehensive list of available technology features, read this list:

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Anti-theft security system
Brake Assist

Design

Drivers and passengers alike should take pride in the CUV that's carrying them to their destination. All of your personal effects — or however much of them you can fit into 74 cu ft — are accounted for in the Forester. This spaciousness is only bested by premium in-cabin seating arrangements. Below are a few more available design features of this CUV:

Two-speed windshield wipers with variable-intermittent mode
Black folding side mirrors
Raised roof rails
