Whether you need reliable traction for changing road conditions or practical cargo storage for busy routines, the Forester Sport delivers complete confidence every time you step behind the wheel.
Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Sport is powered by a 2.5L H-4 direct injection, DOHC engine with 180HP, paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard, providing balanced power distribution and dependable traction across varying road surfaces. Drivers can customize engine response using the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode, while Hill Descent Control and a sport ride suspension ensure composed handling on winding roads and steep inclines alike. Efficiency remains impressive for a versatile crossover, achieving an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 32 MPG highway on regular unleaded fuel. Riding on 19 x 7.5-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in performance tires, this vehicle delivers a smooth, controlled ride for both daily commutes and longer road trips.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cabin, the Forester Sport offers an intuitive digital hub centered around an 11.6-inch primary display touchscreen. Wireless smart device integration via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allows effortless access to navigation, hands-free calling, and mobile apps without cable clutter. Front wireless smart device charging keeps your phone powered up, while 4 USB ports ensure secondary devices stay connected throughout the trip. Music enthusiasts will appreciate the premium Harman/Kardon 11-speaker audio system driven by a 576W amplifier, delivering clear, rich sound across the interior.
