Confirmed All-Weather Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Premium features a 2.5L H-4 direct injection, DOHC engine with 180HP paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT. Power is distributed continuously through Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, giving you surefooted traction in rain, slush, or mud. Driver-selectable SI-DRIVE drivetrain modes allow you to tailor engine response to your driving preference, while Hill Descent Control and standard all-speed ABS traction control bolster confidence on steep declines and slick surfaces. The independent front strut and rear double wishbone suspension absorb road imperfections smoothly, complemented by 17 x 7-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires. Despite its all-weather hardware, this crossover maintains impressive efficiency, earning an EPA-estimated 26 city and 33 highway MPG. Driver assistance features like EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, and Evasion Assist work in harmony with the powertrain to ensure a secure, effortless drive on every outing.
Advanced Technology and Interior Comfort
Inside the spacious cabin, the Forester Premium provides modern digital control and essential cold-weather comfort. Centered on the dashboard is an 11.6-inch primary display touchscreen that supports wireless MySubaru, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto smart device mirroring. Front wireless smart device charging and four USB ports keep everyone's devices connected and charged throughout the ride. Drivers will appreciate heated driver and front passenger seats, an 8-way power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar support, and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear under-seat climate ducts. Overhead, a first and second-row sliding glass sunroof with power one-touch activation opens up the interior to natural daylight. Additional conveniences include a power rear gate, Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, push-button start, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls.
