EYESIGHT DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGY

Pre-Collision Braking

Automatic Pre-Collision Braking helps you avoid or reduce frontal impacts by alerting you and applying full braking force in emergency situations. Pre-Collision Throttle Management can reduce the power from the engine to help minimize the possible impact force and frontal impact damage.

Subaru EyeSight

Every 2026 Forester AWD compact SUV features standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which acts as an extra set of eyes on the road and, if needed, an extra foot on the brake. EyeSight includes a number of advanced active safety systems to protect you and your family on every drive.

STANDARD SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

Stability and Control

With its exceptionally balanced layout, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive delivers a solid connection with the road and an engaged, responsive drive. The entire system lies along the vehicle's centerline, balancing weight distribution between the two sides to help provide optimal performance and control.

Capability And Efficiency

A fuel-efficient compact SUV with gas mileage of up to 33 MPG2, every Forester features the legendary capability and dependable confidence of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Designed to optimize traction in rain, snow, and on rough roads, this system constantly evaluates acceleration, braking, and cornering in real time to continuously deliver power to all four wheels.

SPACIOUS, OPEN CABIN WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Panoramic Power Moonroof

Giving the interior an even more expansive atmosphere, an available power sliding panoramic moonroof lets you feel the breeze, brighten the interior, and check out the stars.

Plenty of Cargo Room

Haul more gear for your adventures with up to 74.4 cubic feet of cargo space. That's more total cargo space than the Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5. An extra-wide rear gate opening makes it easy to load and unload large items. The Forester adapts to bring longer items by simply adjusting the 60/40-split flat-folding rear seats.

What Powers the 2026 Subaru Forester and Forester Wilderness?

Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester and Forester Wilderness are built to feel more responsive and confident in real-world driving, thanks to a revised 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque at lower RPMs than before, making acceleration feel smoother and more immediate. Every Forester pairs this engine with a Lineartronic® CVT, while the Forester Wilderness takes things a step further with a specially tuned CVT featuring a shorter final drive ratio to improve low-speed control on trails and uneven terrain. Off-road confidence is boosted by the advanced X-MODE Dual Mode System with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings, along with a revised Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system that reacts faster, reduces wheelspin, and uses steering angle data to improve stability when cornering at higher speeds. Wider 235mm all-terrain tires come standard on the Wilderness for extra grip, and all 2026 Forester models ride on a strengthened Subaru Global Platform that's 10% stiffer than before, improving handling, comfort, and overall confidence whether you're commuting or heading off the beaten path.

From detecting pedestrians sooner to stepping in during emergencies, these systems work together quietly in the background to add an extra layer of reassurance on every drive.
Key safety highlights include:

  • Enhanced EyeSight® with a broader field of view, updated software, and an electric brake booster for quicker response
  • Improved detection of pedestrians and cyclists at intersections, with alerts and automatic braking when needed
  • Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection that can bring the vehicle to a stop, activate hazard lights, unlock doors, and contact emergency services if a driver becomes unresponsive.
  • Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, plus Automatic Emergency Steering and Emergency Lane Keep Assist to help avoid potential collisions
