Athletic Capability and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Sport features a responsive 2.5L H-4 engine with 180HP paired with a smooth Lineartronic CVT with 8-speed manual shift control. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive ensures continuous traction across slippery pavement, rainy mornings, and unpaved roads alike. Driver-selectable SI-Drive Dual-Mode Engine Performance Management lets you tailor throttle response for maximum efficiency or enhanced responsiveness on demand. Despite its capable, all-weather engineering, this crossover remains remarkably economical, earning an EPA-estimated 25 MPG city and 32 MPG highway. Built on an independent sport-tuned suspension with double wishbone rear architecture, the Forester provides refined road manners and composed handling through tight corners. Features like Auto Vehicle Hold and Hill Descent Control provide additional driver reassurance when navigating steep inclines or stop-and-go traffic.
Modern Connectivity and Advanced Safety
Step inside the cabin to experience an intuitive tech hub centered around the Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus System touchscreen display. Seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allows instant access to your favorite navigation apps, playlists, and hands-free communication. Keeping your devices powered is effortless thanks to front wireless smart device charging and multiple USB ports throughout the cabin. Audiophiles will love the upgraded Harman/Kardon speaker system, delivering rich, immersive sound for all five passengers. Safety remains paramount with standard EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control, featuring lane centering, Pre-Collision Braking, and Reverse Automatic Braking. Blind Spot Detection and Emergency Lane Keep Assist work quietly in the background to help protect your most precious cargo on every drive.
