Engine & Drivetrain
The new Subaru Forester we have for sale offers a versatile lineup, headlined by the debut of the all-new Forester Hybrid. The standard models continue to be powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine, producing 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking enhanced efficiency and performance, the new hybrid powertrain integrates Subaru's signature engine with Toyota-sourced hybrid technology, delivering a significant boost in fuel economy and smoother low-end torque.
Subaru's unique BOXER engine design remains a core feature, allowing for a lower center of gravity that enhances stability on winding roads and in rugged conditions. Every 2026 Forester comes standard with Subaru's signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, providing excellent control on various terrains. The drivetrain is paired with a refined Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), though the Hybrid model utilizes a specialized electronic transmission to manage the dual power sources seamlessly.
Performance & Tow Capacity
The new Subaru Forester we are selling is built for versatility, with a towing capacity of up to 1,500 pounds. Ideal for weekend excursions with small trailers or bikes, this capacity ensures that the Forester can handle both daily driving and light towing needs. For those with heavier hauling needs, the 2026 Forester Wilderness is specifically engineered to tow up to 3,500 pounds, making it capable of pulling larger trailers and small boats. Additionally, with an estimated fuel economy of up to 33 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg in the city, it is an efficient choice for commuters and adventurers alike. Fuel efficiency sees a major upgrade for the 2026 model year with the introduction of the Forester Hybrid. While the standard gasoline engine delivers a reliable 26 city/33 highway MPG, the all-new hybrid powertrain achieves an impressive 35 MPG combined, offering up to a 581-mile total driving range.
Exterior & Interior Design
The 2026 Subaru Forester for sale elevates its rugged-yet-modern aesthetic with the debut of the Forester Hybrid, which features exclusive HYBRID badging and the striking Daybreak Blue Pearl paint option. The 2026 lineup also sees a fully refreshed Wilderness trim, boasting an increased 9.3 inches of ground clearance, hexagonal grille styling, and Anodized Copper accents that signal its off-road pedigree. Functional roof rails remain standard, with the Wilderness model featuring a reinforced ladder-type rail system designed to support heavy roof-top tents.
Technology & Infotainment
The 2026 Subaru Forester introduces a major tech overhaul centered around the standard 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia Plus touchscreen (dual 7-inch screens on the base trim). This vertically oriented, tablet-style display now features wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration across most models, eliminating the need for cables. For the first time, a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster is available, providing a customizable and modern view of vital vehicle data, including real-time hybrid system monitoring on the new Forester Hybrid.
Safety
Safety remains the foundation of the 2026 Subaru Forester, which now features the latest fourth-generation EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology as standard across all trims. This upgraded system utilizes a new three-camera setup-including a wide-angle mono camera-and an electric brake booster to detect pedestrians and cyclists at intersections much earlier. A major addition for 2026 is Emergency Stop Assist; if a driver becomes unresponsive while using Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, the system can automatically bring the vehicle to a controlled stop, activate hazard lights, unlock the doors, and place an emergency call via SUBARU STARLINK®.
