The Subaru Forester is a well-rounded compact crossover built around comfort, practicality, and year-round capability. It offers roomy seating, flexible cargo capacity, and standard all-wheel drive in a size that's easy to manage in daily commutes around Bridgewater or Somerville.
​For 2026, the Subaru Forester builds on the SUV's recent redesign with small but meaningful updates, including a revised center console with larger cupholders, expanded storage, a dedicated smartphone slot, and wider armrests. Additionally, the Wilderness trim catches up to the latest generation in terms of size, style, and feature options.
Performance and Capability
Performance comes from a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 182 horsepower. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard across the lineup, and all but the base trim have Subaru X-MODE® for enhanced traction on snow, gravel, and various other surfaces. For Hillsborough shoppers who like to venture beyond paved roads, the Wilderness trim bolsters capability with lifted suspension, dual-function X-MODE®, all-terrain tires, and reinforced roof rails designed to support tents and heavier rooftop gear.
Interior
Interior and Utility
The Subaru Forester is spacious and accommodating, offering comfortable seats, modern interior styling, and up to 69.1 cubic feet of storage in most trims. Since Base models don't have the panoramic sunroof, they provide even more cargo capacity, up to 74.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
The All-Weather Package is standard on all trims above the base model, adding heated front seats, heated mirrors, and a wiper de-icer. Other available upgrades include:
- Proximity keyless entry
- Power liftgate
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Heated rear seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Driver-position memory
- Leather upholstery
Technology and Safety
Technology remains a strong suit across the Forester lineup. The base trim has dual 7-inch touchscreens, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for convenient smartphone connectivity. Higher trims upgrade to an 11.6-inch display with wireless smartphone integration, as well as a wireless charging pad. Regardless of trim level, all models come standard with a full suite of Subaru EyeSight® driver aids, including:
- Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane-Centering
- Lane Departure and Sway Warning
- Lane Keep Assist
- High Beam Assist
