Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Premium is powered by a 2.5L H-4 direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control engine producing 180HP. Paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, this powertrain delivers smooth, predictable acceleration and constant traction across wet, icy, or loose road surfaces. The driver-selectable SI-DRIVE system allows you to tailor throttle response to suit your driving style, while Hill Descent Control offers added composure when navigating steep inclines. Despite its capable all-wheel-drive posture, this crossover remains notably efficient, earning an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway rating. Independent front strut and rear double wishbone suspension systems absorb pavement imperfections smoothly, offering a quiet, composed ride quality during long highway stretches and routine neighborhood drives.
Technology & Safety Innovation
Inside the cabin, advanced technology keeps driver and passengers connected, informed, and entertained. Center stage is taken by an 11.6-inch primary touchscreen display featuring seamless smart device integration via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Front occupants benefit from a convenient wireless device charging pad and multiple USB ports to keep hardware powered on the go. Driving confidence comes standard thanks to Subaru EyeSight driver-assist technology, incorporating EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Sway Warning driver attention alerts. Steering Responsive Headlights and High Beam Assist automatically illuminate dark turns and adjust high beams based on oncoming traffic, ensuring enhanced visibility wherever your journeys lead.
