The vehicle stands 68.1 inches tall on most trims, offering excellent visibility for navigating through Rochester's varied terrain. Available wheel sizes range from 17 inches on base models to 19 inches on Sport and Touring variants, each complementing the Forester's purposeful stance.
Performance Specifications
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that generates 180 horsepower. This BOXER engine configuration, unique to Subaru, features a Dual Active Valve Control System for optimized performance across the rev range. The Lineartronic CVT transmission features a low-shift mode for enhanced control when needed. Standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) ensures confident traction whether you're driving to Noble Pines Park for a morning hike or navigating unexpected weather. Fuel economy reaches up to 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway on Base, Premium, and Limited trims, with the 16.6-gallon fuel tank providing substantial range between fill-ups.
Interior Amenities and Technology
Inside the Forester, comfort meets connectivity through carefully selected features. Base models include a Subaru Dual seven-inch Multimedia System with voice-activated controls and smartphone integration. Premium trims and above upgrade to an 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Seating surfaces range from hexagonal-patterned cloth on entry models to perforated leather-trimmed upholstery on higher trims. Families traveling from Exeter will find ample space for passengers and cargo, with 60-40 split-folding rear seats expanding versatility when needed.
Comprehensive Safety Features
Every 2026 Forester comes equipped with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as standard equipment. This suite includes Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane Keep Assist.

Additional safety technologies become available as you move up the trim ladder, including Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist on Sport models and above.
