Subaru Forester

2026 Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester marks the sixth generation of this well-loved compact SUV, bringing more versatility, safety, style and value than before. Rebuilt from the ground up, it carries a stronger exterior presence, a more refined cabin, and a quieter, more comfortable drive. Every model comes equipped with the newest version of Subaru’s award-winning EyeSight system, now enhanced with a wide-angle mono camera to improve pedestrian and cyclist pre-collision protection.

Available upgrades include an 11.6-inch infotainment display, a power liftgate with a hands-free kick sensor, a wireless charging pad, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Those wanting a sportier feel can opt for the Forester Sport, which adds exclusive design elements and a sport-tuned suspension for improved control. No matter the trim, the Forester delivers a road-trip ready, family-focused and safety-forward experience.

Introducing the Safest Forester Ever

The 2026 Subaru Forester builds on its safety-first approach with the newest Subaru EyeSight Driver-Assist system, now standard on many trims. A third mono camera improves hazard detection, while Emergency Stop Assist can bring the vehicle to a full stop if the driver becomes unresponsive. Visibility is excellent in all directions, and the Premier trim adds a 360-degree Surround View Monitor for enhanced awareness. Additional features include Reverse Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and the safety functions within MySubaru Connected Services.

The 2026 Forester includes a full suite of advanced active safety systems, including Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, Active Torque Vectoring, Traction Control, Vehicle Dynamics Control and the updated EyeSight technology. Its low centre of gravity, strong visibility and all-weather capability support confident handling in real-world conditions. Select trims also add the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System for an extra layer of protection, reinforcing the Forester’s reputation for dependable safety.

Forester Safety

Awareness-Boosting SRVD System

On the Forester Touring and above, the Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection system enhances driver awareness in three key ways. Blind Spot Detection uses mirror-mounted indicators to warn of vehicles alongside you. Lane Change Assist alerts you to quickly approaching traffic from behind, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert signals vehicles or pedestrians coming from either side while reversing.

Lineartronic CVT + Symmetrical Full-Time AWD

Every 2026 Forester features the Lineartronic CVT, designed for efficient performance and quick response. As the link between the SubaruBoxer engine and the Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system, it delivers smooth, predictable power and sends torque to the wheels with the best grip under acceleration or low-traction conditions. Higher trims also offer paddle shifters and a manual shift mode for added control and driver engagement.
