The 2026 Subaru Forester continues after its full redesign last year, emphasizing practicality, visibility, and of course, standard symmetrical all-wheel drive. Updates for 2026 include infotainment refinements and additional active safety features. Power comes from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine or you can opt for the new Forester e-boxer Hybrid model, pairing that same engine with a battery and electric motor. The Forester continues to provide high value and customer-focused features for 2026.
Juror David Chao had this to say in his Subaru Forester review published in AutomotivePress.com:
“You want something with a bit of character, but want an open, airy feel and a model that performs well, this is it. Built in Japan, at least for now, the Forester is on the top of my list of midsize/compact SUVs you should consider buying.”

Juror Jesse Caron had this to say in his Subaru Forester review published in CAA-Quebec:
“With this redesign, the Forester reaches a level of composure unmatched in its nearly 30-year history. The new version harmoniously combines the comfort of recent generations with the sharper driving of the series’ early years. Practical, safe and more refined than ever, the Forester offers a lot for its price tag, especially since Subaru seems to have resolved its few reliability issues.”
