Everyday Performance and All-Weather Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Premium features a 2.5L H-4 direct injection DOHC engine with variable valve control that generates 180HP. Coupled with a smooth Lineartronic CVT and full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, this powertrain delivers confident traction across varying road surface conditions. Driver-selectable SI-DRIVE allows you to tailor throttle response to match your driving mood, while an independent front strut and double wishbone rear suspension provide a planted, comfortable ride. Efficiency remains a strong point, with an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway helping to stretch your distance between fuel stops. Vehicle dynamics are further enhanced by speed-sensitive electric power-assist steering, Auto Vehicle Hold, and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with four-channel ABS for controlled, responsive stopping power.
Smart Technology and Modern Connectivity
Inside the cabin, the centerpiece of the interior is an 11.6-inch primary display touchscreen powered by the Subaru 11.6in Multimedia Plus System. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allow seamless smartphone mirroring, complemented by front wireless smart device charging and four USB ports to keep everyone powered up. Entertainment options include AM/FM/digital radio with SiriusXM 360L through a 6-speaker audio system, easily managed via voice-activated controls or steering wheel-mounted buttons. Driving safety is anchored by EyeSight driver-assist technology, featuring EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, and Pre-Collision Braking. Additionally, Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and an integrated rear camera with washer keep you well aware of your surroundings in busy parking areas.
