2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid
The 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid reimagines what a modern SUV can deliver—combining rugged capability, hybrid efficiency, and Subaru’s signature engineering precision. At Sommer’s Subaru in Mequon, we see this model as more than transportation; it’s a trusted companion ready for every Wisconsin season and every stretch of open road.
Trim Levels
The 2026 Forester Hybrid is offered in 4 distinct trims, each carrying its own exterior character. The Premium Hybrid trim sets a strong foundation with high-end features like a panoramic power moonroof, power rear gate, LED steering-responsive headlights that turn when you do, LED fog lights, heated side mirrors, and standard roof rails that speak to its practical versatility. Make heads turn with the Sport Hybrid, showing off a more aggressive stance with 19-inch bronze-finish alloy wheels, sleek low-profile roof rails, and Crystal Black Silica accents. Limited models elevate refinement through dark gray finishes, and luxurious interior upgrades, while the top-tier Touring trim completes the lineup. Its ground-shaking 19-inch wheels and high-gloss black with chrome-finish grille signal exclusivity fused with rugged Subaru DNA.
Engine
Underneath the hood, the Forester Hybrid carries Subaru’s renowned 2.0L direct-injection SUBARU BOXER® engine, paired with an efficient hybrid-electric system. The Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with 6-speed hybrid-type manual mode is fine-tuned to maximize the unique hybrid performance characteristics. With 194 combined hp designed to maintain responsive acceleration and 199 lbs.-ft. of torque, the hybrid drivetrain ensures steady confidence whether cruising through downtown Milwaukee or climbing steep backroads around Lake Country.
Performance
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive remains standard, not an option, delivering constant traction across icy winter highways and rain-slick city streets alike. Standard X-MODE® upgrades to dual-function in most trims with a Deep Snow/Mud mode. Vehicle Dynamics and Traction Control Systems monitor feedback and the road ahead, with Active Torque Vectoring ensuring optimal grip in real-time. Trailer Stability Assist is also standard, ensuring that towing up to 1,500 lbs. always feels controlled. The hybrid system refines Forester’s capability, adding instant torque from the electric motor that complements the BOXER® engine’s low center of gravity. Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE®) modes adjust throttle response for tailored control—whether conserving energy on long commutes or quickening pace for passing maneuvers. Ground clearance remains an impressive 8.7 inches, allowing the Forester Hybrid to handle rough trails and deep snowbanks with assurance. Together, these elements create an SUV that feels unshakable, agile, and ready for both daily drives and demanding weekend escapes.
Interior
The cabin of the 2026 Forester Hybrid reflects Subaru’s craftsmanship with subtle sophistication and durable practicality. Seating for 5 offers generous legroom, bolstered by a tall greenhouse design that fills the cabin with light and broad visibility. Upholstery ranges from cloth to sumptuous leather in the Touring trim, which adds ventilation to the standard heated front seats. The driver’s cockpit benefits from an intuitive layout—centered around an available 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Reclining rear seats are available with heating in the Touring trim. Cargo volume stands out as one of the largest in its class at over 69 cu. ft., with rear seats folding flat to create expansive space for outdoor gear, weekly errands, or luggage for long road trips. All Hybrid trims feature a foot-activated hands-free power rear gate with automatic close and height memory to let you load up with ease, while standard under-floor storage, and tie-down hooks for cargo and grocery bags let you keep all you need organized for the ride.
Safety Features
Every Forester Hybrid comes standard with Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, engineered with a wide-angle camera for greater detection range. Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Pre-Collision Braking build confidence in crowded interstates and narrow city lanes. Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert enhance awareness, while Reverse Automatic Braking ensures safety even when backing into tight spots. Higher trims extend this protection with DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation, a smart system that monitors attentiveness and gently alerts when fatigue or distraction is detected. The reinforced Subaru Global Platform strengthens crash protection from every angle, while seven airbags and advanced restraint systems ensure that all occupants remain shielded in the event of impact.
