    Dealer Notes

    2026 Subaru Forester Premium: Everyday Versatility and Confident Capability

    The 2026 Subaru Forester Premium combines standard all-weather capability with expansive interior space, making it a compelling crossover for busy households and daily commuters. Dressed in a refined River Rock Pearl exterior with a Black interior featuring Premium Textured Cloth Upholstery, this SUV is designed to handle routine carpools, weekend supply runs, and seasonal weather in Addison with equal ease. Its modern styling is complemented by functional exterior touches like black bodyside cladding, splash guards, a rear lip spoiler, and 18-inch dark metallic aluminum-alloy wheels. Whether navigating suburban traffic or packing up cargo for an extended trip, this crossover offers the flexibility and driver-centric design required for modern daily driving. You can explore our current new Subaru inventory to learn more about our available models.

    Performance & Capability

    Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Premium is powered by a 2.5L H-4 direct injection DOHC engine delivering 162HP. This longitudinal front-mounted 4-cylinder engine is mated to a smooth Lineartronic CVT with overdrive and SI-DRIVE selectable mode transmission, giving you refined control across varying driving conditions. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard, working alongside X-MODE driver selectable drivetrain management, hill descent control, and hill start assist to provide secure traction on slippery or unpaved surfaces. Even with its capable full-time AWD system, this crossover achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 35 MPG city and 34 MPG highway fuel economy. The chassis utilizes an independent front strut suspension and rear double wishbone setup paired with gas-pressurized shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars, delivering a balanced and composed ride quality. Active grille shutters and a stainless steel single exhaust further refine efficiency and dynamic performance.

    Technology & Connectivity

    Inside the cabin, the Forester Premium centers its technology around the Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation System touchscreen display alongside a 12.30-inch digital and analog gauge cluster display. Wireless smart device integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, allowing seamless access to your favorite navigation, media, and communication apps. Additional cabin convenience features include front wireless smart device charging, four USB ports, SiriusXM with 360L capability, and a 6-speaker audio system with steering wheel-mounted controls. Safety technology is powered by the EyeSight suite, which includes EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Pre-Collision Braking, Pre-Collision Throttle Management, Automatic Emergency Steering, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Features like Auto Vehicle Hold and a rear-view camera with built-in washer add peace of mind to every parking maneuver and stoplight stop.

    • Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive - Full-time AWD paired with X-MODE for optimized control across low-traction surfaces.

    • Solid vehicle

      By Luna on 5/13/2026 6:42:32 AM

      Well built, solid vehicle. Excellent visibility. Ok acceleration with the hybrid. Handling is good too and good turning radius. I average about 30 mpg. I have not had issues with the screen freezing or being able to navigate to any apps. I have never had an issue with the parking sensors. They sometimes beep but never intrude on me actually being able to maneuver the vehicle. You can turn off the lane keep assist and the "nanny" that tells you to keep your eyes on the road. I wish it was faster and got better mpgs but overall a great vehicle and I knew what I was purchasing. Subaru has one of the best dealership customer services where I live, most other dealers here couldn't care less about you after the sale. Also one of the only dealers that don't mark up over msrp.…

    • Excellent SUV

      I have owned many new cars from Japanese and American brands over the years, except a Subaru. I just purchased a '26 Touring Hybrid and absolutely love this car over all others. It drives very smoothly, is quiet, and definitely has a noted feel of luxury, both inside and out. The stereo is amazing and even allows me to replay songs on the radio. I could not be happier with this purchase.…

    • Subaru, gives us an updated touchscreen!

      By Michael on 3/10/2026 6:36:52 PM

      4.0
      Replaced a 2014 Subaru Forester and are pleased with the newer model...except the touch screen is not up to modern standards. Laggy, slow and does not automatically connect to iPhone CarPlay. The touch screen is a real disappointment. I wish there was some OS update Subaru could arrange for existing owners to make the touchscreen a better experience. I also think the myriad safety options are way overboard. If you make it through the manual you will be overwhelmed with the options for just about every feature - safety of otherwise. I dont' think we need 2 cruise control options or the ability to turn off safety features. Make it safe AND simple. Less bells and whistles. Otherwise enjoying the car.…
