Subaru Forester 2026
Subaru Forester hybrid and thermal 2026 - Price and configuration
Continuing the momentum of the new generation applied to the 2025 model year, the all-new 2026 Subaru Forester will once again captivate us with its multiple configurations and remarkable capabilities. A symbol of strength and practicality, it's no wonder that it remains one of the most popular models in its segment.
Although we are still awaiting the official data, including its 2026 price, we know that we can expect engine options that are both high-performing and fuel-efficient, especially true with the hybrid version.
Despite the rumors circulating about the much-anticipated return of the Wilderness version of the Subaru Forester, it has not yet been officially confirmed in Canada. But one thing is certain: regardless of the version chosen, it will come with Subaru's very generous warranty, which is a testament to the reliability we can expect from the brand.
Key new features and characteristics of the Subaru Forester 2026
### Interior and onboard technologies of the Forester SUV
The Subaru Forester has won numerous safety awards, and the 2026 model will be no exception. Indeed, it will be equipped with the latest generation of the EyeSight driver assistance technology suite, among others.
Otherwise, the embedded technologies and amenities will be abundant and will include practical additions such as automatic trunk opening with foot activation, auto-dimming mirrors, and roof rails, among others, in addition to comfort-focused features like heated seats and steering wheel, multi-zone temperature control, and 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar support, to name just a few.

### Performance and Engine of the 2026 Forester
The gasoline-only models of the Forester SUV will be equipped with the highly efficient 2.5-liter 4-cylinder Boxer engine, which produces 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of maximum torque.
Regarding the Subaru Forester and its fuel consumption, it remains extremely reasonable, with 9.1 L/7.2 L/8.3 L/100 km in city/highway/mixed cycle for gasoline versions.
Despite this low fuel consumption, the Subaru Forester offers a generous towing capacity ranging from 1,500 lb to 3,000 lb, depending on the chosen version and based on the 2025 data.
### Subaru Forester Hybrid 2026
Since official data for 2026 is trickling in, we know that the 2025 version of the Subaru Forester Hybrid had a base MSRP of $48,195.
The 2026 model year is expected to offer the same engine block, which it also shares with the 2026 Crosstrek, namely the 2.5L Boxer combined with electric motors and a lithium-ion battery for a total of 194 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque. This hybrid system enables fuel consumption as low as 7.0 L/6.8 L/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway/combined).
We should also expect the same towing capacity for 2026, which is 1500 lbs.
### A compact format that does big things
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek boasts a bold exterior design and an imposing presence.
This compact and capable vehicle features a sculpted body, a frameless hexagonal grille, directional LED headlights, and flared black wheel arches with functional vents at both the front and rear. The Onyx version stands out with its color scheme accented by bright yellow and gunmetal gray for a more striking visual effect.
