2026 Subaru Forester West Chester PA

The 2026 Forester once again features Subaru's signature 2.5-liter Boxer flat four-cylinder engine. It delivers smooth power for commuting, running errands, and light trail use, and it's paired with a continuously variable transmission for easygoing everyday driving. Just like every Subaru SUV, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive comes standard. This gives the Forester a planted, confident feel on wet roads, gravel, or anything in between, something Pennsylvania drivers definitely appreciate. For those who want to maximize fuel savings, the Forester is also offered with a hybrid powertrain, combining the same 2.5-liter engine with electric motor assistance. The hybrid setup provides more efficiency and quieter acceleration, making city driving and stop-and-go traffic feel smoother and more relaxed. And when you're headed off pavement, features like X-MODE help manage traction and maintain control on slippery or uneven surfaces. It's all designed so you don't have to think about capability; it's simply there when you need it.

Safety has always been one of the Forester's strongest qualities, and the 2026 model continues that legacy. Every version of the Forester comes equipped with Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology. This system watches traffic around you, helps maintain distance on the highway, and can even assist with steering to help keep you centered in your lane. Available features like Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert add even more peace of mind when navigating tight parking lots or merging into fast-moving traffic. And on select trims, the DriverFocus distraction mitigation system can help keep drivers alert on longer drives. Combined with Subaru's excellent crash safety ratings and durable vehicle structure, the Forester feels like a vehicle you can trust whether you're driving solo, traveling with family, or handing the keys to a new driver.

For drivers who see adventure as a regular part of life, and not just a once-a-year road trip, the Forester Wilderness stands out. This trim is purpose-built to handle rougher, more unpredictable terrain. It sits higher with increased ground clearance, uses all-terrain tires for improved grip, and has suspension tuning that's better suited for trail surfaces. It also includes special calibrations for X-MODE, allowing the vehicle to manage deeper mud, looser gravel, and uneven climbs more confidently. The Wilderness also receives a more rugged exterior look, including extra protective cladding and bold accents, along with interior materials designed to handle dirt, sand, boots, pets, and gear without looking worn. It feels like the Forester you take off the highway without sacrificing comfort when you're back on it. If your weekends involve campsites, trailheads, or finding your own view of the woods, this trim aligns beautifully with that lifestyle.

The 2026 Subaru Forester remains one of the easiest SUVs to recommend: efficient, capable in all weather, sized just right, and built to last.
