What's New for 2026?
The Wilderness trim gets the same styling updates that the rest of the lineup got for 2025, with a larger grille, sleeker headlights, and a more aerodynamic frame. The Wilderness also gets off-roading improvements, with a shorter final drive ratio, more terrain settings, a revised transmission cooler, improved approach, departure, and breakover angles, and larger all-terrain tires.
All Forester trims get a redesigned center console, with a smartphone slot. The gear shifter has been moved closer to the driver, and the rear cupholders are now large enough to hold a 32-ounce water bottle.
Subaru Forester Performance
The 2026 Subaru Forester is equipped with a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with a Lineartronic CVT transmission that includes a low shift mode for enhanced control.
Every Forester comes standard with Subaru's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, providing confident traction in rain, snow, and any other challenging road conditions you might encounter in Hartford, CT.
Subaru Forester Safety
Every 2026 Forester comes with Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. This safety technology suite uses cameras to monitor traffic and road conditions, providing alerts and automatic braking intervention when necessary. EyeSight includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Collision Mitigation-Front.
Higher trim levels add features like Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, helping drivers monitor adjacent lanes and detect vehicles approaching from the side when reversing. The Touring and Wilderness trims also feature Reverse Automatic Braking, which can apply the brakes automatically if an obstacle is detected behind the vehicle.
