Paired with an efficient 8-speed Lineartronic CVT, this powertrain achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway, allowing you to travel further between fill-ups. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive provides full-time traction across wet roads, loose gravel, and winter slush, working continuously to maintain maximum grip. Drivers can also tailor throttle response using the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode, adjusting performance characteristics to suit changing highway or suburban traffic conditions. An independent front strut suspension and double wishbone rear suspension deliver a smooth, composed ride quality, while variable intermittent front windshield wipers and heated door mirrors keep your view clear during unexpected weather.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the quiet cabin, the 2026 Subaru Forester Premium surrounds passengers with intuitive connectivity and user-friendly entertainment features. The centerpiece of the dash is a high-resolution Subaru 11.6in Multimedia Plus System featuring an 11.6 inch primary display touchscreen. Wireless smart device integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto lets you seamlessly sync your smartphone for navigation, messaging, and audio streaming without cluttering the console with cables. Up front, a wireless smart device charging pad and 4 USB ports ensure everyone stays powered up on longer trips. Audio is delivered through a crisp 6-speaker system with AM/FM/digital and SiriusXM with 360L capability, easily managed via steering wheel mounted audio controls or voice-activated commands.
