    Dealer Notes

    2026 Subaru Forester Base: Versatile Everyday Crossover

    The 2026 Subaru Forester Base delivers exceptional practical utility, modern driver convenience, and steady all-weather confidence wrapped in a stylish Magnetite Gray Metallic exterior. Designed to support active daily routines and family schedules around Lombard, this well-engineered crossover easily transitions between weekday carpools and weekend errands. Equipped with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a spacious cloth interior in Gray, and versatile cargo capabilities, this vehicle provides a dependable foundation for all your travel needs.

    Performance & Capability

    Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Base features a 2.5L H-4 direct injection DOHC engine with variable valve control that generates 180HP. Paired with a smooth Lineartronic CVT transmission, this powertrain delivers efficient operation with an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. Full-time All Wheel Drive ensures balanced traction across changing surface conditions, complemented by SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain modes that allow you to adjust throttle response to match your driving preferences. The vehicle rides on a refined four-wheel independent suspension system utilizing a strut front layout and double wishbone rear setup, delivering smooth body control over bumps and uneven pavement. Stopping power is handled by 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and Auto Vehicle Hold, giving you surefooted stopping power whenever you need it.

    Technology & Connectivity

    Inside the cabin, smart technology keeps driver and passengers connected, entertained, and informed on every journey. The center console features the Subaru Dual 7.0in Multimedia System with a primary monitor touchscreen that supports MySubaru, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto smart device mirroring. Drivers can easily control media and hands-free calls through Bluetooth wireless connectivity or convenient steering wheel mounted audio controls. SiriusXM satellite radio capability and an auxiliary input jack provide diverse listening options through the standard audio layout, while an auto-dimming rearview mirror equipped with HomeLink and a digital compass brings added daily convenience. Crucial vehicle metrics remain clear and accessible thanks to a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display providing real-time exterior temperature data and ECO feedback readings.

    • Solid vehicle

      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!

      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.
