Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness features a 2.5L H-4 direct-injection DOHC engine generating 180HP, paired seamlessly with an 8-speed Lineartronic CVT featuring manual paddle-shift controls. Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard, offering full-time torque distribution for optimal traction across wet, loose, or uneven surfaces. An off-road ride suspension provides added confidence off the beaten path, while an underbody skid plate guards vital mechanical components. Equipped with SI-DRIVE driver-selectable modes, Hill Descent Control, and an engine oil cooler, this crossover balances versatile capability with efficient performance, achieving an EPA-estimated 24 MPG city and 28 MPG highway. The exterior rides on 17-inch matte black aluminum-alloy wheels wrapped in durable all-terrain tires, backed by standard trailer sway control and a full-size spare tire.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cabin, advanced technology keeps you connected, entertained, and safe on every journey. The focal point of the dashboard is the Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation System touchscreen, offering integrated voice-activated navigation and intuitive control. Front wireless smart device charging and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring allow seamless smartphone integration without cluttering the center console. Audio is powered by an immersive 11-speaker Harman/kardon sound system driven by a 576W amplifier. Safety technology is equally comprehensive, featuring the EyeSight Driver Assist suite with Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centering, Pre-Collision Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Reverse Automatic Braking, and a 180-degree Front View Monitor for tight maneuvering.
