Off-Road Suspension and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
At the heart of the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness is a 2.5L H-4 gasoline direct injection DOHC engine producing 180HP paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT. Engineered with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, this crossover delivers balanced power distribution across slick roads and changing surface conditions. An off-road ride suspension and underbody skid plate provide added confidence when leaving the pavement, while P235/60TR17 all-terrain tires ensure steady traction over unpaved roads. Driver-selectable SI-DRIVE and Selectable Terrain Modes let you customize vehicle dynamics for mud, snow, or standard highway driving. Efficiency remains practical for daily commutes, delivering an estimated 24 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. For hauling equipment or gear, a factory-installed Trailer Hitch - Wilderness and heavy-duty transmission oil cooler offer built-in utility for light towing.
