Rugged Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Forester Wilderness is powered by a 2.5L H-4 direct injection engine producing 180HP, paired with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT featuring sequential shift controls. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive provides full-time traction, while selectable SI-DRIVE modes and Selectable Terrain Modes with Hill Descent Control adapt the vehicle to slippery pavement or muddy trails. An off-road ride suspension gives extra ground clearance, complemented by an underbody skid plate and 17-inch matte black finish aluminum wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. Even with its rugged build, this crossover delivers impressive efficiency with an EPA-estimated 24 city and 28 highway MPG, making it a smart choice for daily commutes and extended travel alike.
Advanced Technology & Interior Comfort
Inside, the cabin combines durable utility with modern connectivity. Water-resistant StarTex Leatherette Upholstery paired with a Rear Seatback Protector ensures easy cleanup after outdoor excursions or grocery runs. The centerpiece of the dash is the Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus System, featuring wireless smart device integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, and interactive voice controls. Front wireless smart device charging and four USB ports keep everyone powered up on the go. Driver confidence comes standard thanks to EyeSight Driver Assist technology, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Detection. Additional comforts include heated front bucket seats, a power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar, dual-zone automatic temperature control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, and a panoramic power moonroof.
