Nobody Beats A Saint J Subaru Deal
The 2026 Subaru Forester remains one of the most versatile compact SUVs on the road, blending generous interior space, excellent cargo flexibility, and year-round confidence in a conveniently sized package. It offers comfortable accommodations, many appealing amenities, and more capability beyond the asphalt that most class competitors. Drivers from Bethlehem, NH, to Newport, VT, can find the latest new Subaru vehicles here at Saint J Subaru.
The 2026 Forester expands on its recent redesign with several thoughtful updates aimed at comfort and everyday usability. Offset for a year, the Wilderness trim officially joins the sixth-generation lineup in 2026, giving adventure-minded buyers a more rugged factory-built option. Subaru has also introduced a revised center console that now offers larger cupholders, a dedicated smartphone slot, more storage space, and wider armrests to enhance long-distance comfort.
The 2026 Subaru Forester is powered by a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine, producing 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque. Its horizontally opposed configuration helps reduce vibration and lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, contributing to stable and responsive handling. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard across the board, giving Forester owners the all-season confidence necessary for northern New England. On Premium trims and above, Subaru X-MODE® enhances traction on snow, loose gravel, and slippery surfaces.
The Subaru Forester Hybrid pairs an electric motor with the conventional BOXER® engine, generating 194 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. The combination also improves efficiency to an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined. It's a compelling option for drivers seeking signature Subaru capability with reduced fuel consumption.
While every Forester is built for outdoor versatility, the Wilderness trim amplifies that capability with lifted suspension and terrain-tuned components for greater clearance and stability in demanding environments. A dual-function X-MODE® system further enhances control in snow, mud, and deep ruts. Additional upgrades include Yokohama all-terrain tires, a 180-degree front-view camera for trail maneuvering, and reinforced roof rails with a 700-pound static load rating-ideal for rooftop tents.
The Forester's base trim features dual 7-inch touchscreens for audio, smartphone integration, and vehicle settings. It also includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy access to your maps, media, messages, and voice assistant. All higher tiers benefit from an 11.6-inch touchscreen, along with wireless smartphone integration and a wireless charging pad. Additionally, no matter which trim you select, you'll receive a full suite of Subaru EyeSight® safety features, including:
