Boxer Capability Meets Next-Generation Efficiency.
The 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid marks a monumental step in Subaru's commitment to electrified adventure. At the heart of this all-new SUV is a series-parallel hybrid system engineered in collaboration with Toyota. By pairing a specialized 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine with a dual-motor electric drive system, the Forester Hybrid produces a robust 194 combined system horsepower. Power is transferred to the ground through a refined Lineartronic CVT and Subaru's legendary mechanical Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, ensuring that slick roads, gravel trails, and Yolo County hills pose no obstacle.
The hybrid powertrain doesn't just add responsive performance—it dramatically reduces stops at the pump. The 2026 Forester Hybrid delivers up to a 40% improvement in city fuel economy compared to standard gasoline models, culminating in a manufacturer-estimated total range of up to 581 miles on a single tank. Whether you're commuting daily from Davis or driving down to Vallejo, this hybrid offers an exceptionally practical blend of capability and conservation.
A Smarter, Safer Cabin Built for Every Journey.
Inside the cabin, the Forester Hybrid combines rugged utility with premium digital refinements. The dashboard is centered around a standard 11.6-inch high-resolution SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia touchscreen. With wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, hands-free voice commands, and available voice-activated navigation, staying connected while keeping your eyes on the road is effortless. Generous interior space ensures all five passengers ride in comfort, while a hands-free power rear gate opens to reveal a versatile cargo area designed to accommodate camping gear, luggage, or pet crates.
Subaru’s dedication to safety remains a core pillar. The Forester Hybrid comes standard with the latest generation of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. This advanced suite utilizes high-resolution cameras to monitor traffic movement, optimize cruise control, warn you of lane departure, and apply pre-collision braking in emergency situations. For off-road enthusiasts, X-MODE® with Hill Descent Control optimizes the Symmetrical AWD system for maximum traction on slippery or uneven terrain, giving you complete confidence no matter where your trail leads.
Looking Ahead: The 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid.

Set to arrive at Fairfield Subaru in winter 2026, this rugged trim will feature additional ground clearance, aggressive all-terrain tires, heavy-duty suspension tuning, and protective underbody skid plates—all paired with the 194-horsepower series-parallel hybrid system.
