A truly capable hybrid
Take your adventures further with Subaru’s all-new Strong Hybrid e-Boxer system, combining a 2.5-litre e-Boxer engine with a high-output electric motor to deliver over 1000km* of range per tank.
Paired with Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive — mechanically linked to all four wheels—it delivers the confident grip, control, and capability you need to go wherever the road (or trail) leads.
*2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid’s range of over 1000km is based on a theoretical value calculated by multiplying the fuel consumption rate under the test conditions specified in Australian Design Rules (ADR) 81/02 by the fuel tank capacity. Actual real-world results may vary based on individual driving circumstances e.g. traffic conditions, driving style, vehicle modifications, fuel quality, climatic conditions etc.
Reimagined design that invites adventure
Blending a head-turning new look with its signature rugged personality, the all-new Subaru Forester is a true expression of its proven capability.
Staying true to its roots, it features a bold new grille, striking headlight design, geometric trim accents, and muscular contours, while still delivering the outstanding driver visibility Subaru Forester is known for. Slimline pillars and expansive windows offer a commanding, panoramic view that keeps you connected to your surroundings. New intelligent cornering lights enhance visibility when turning, helping deliver a safer, more confident driving experience, so you can own the road and conquer the wild.
Safety that gives you peace of mind
The all-new Subaru Forester features advanced safety technology, giving you greater awareness and confidence wherever you go.
The latest generation EyeSight® Driver Assist includes a new Wide-Angle Monocular Camera and Front Side Radar, offering a broader field of view to help detect potential hazards earlier and prevent collisions more effectively.
Subaru’s Vision Assist also introduces a 360-Degree View Monitor, enhancing visibility and precision when parking, navigating tight spots or tackling tricky situations.
And when it comes to all-terrain confidence, Subaru Forester delivers – built on an improved Subaru Global Platform, with outstanding all-round visibility and Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive at its core.
Tackle challenging terrain
With 220mm of ground clearance* and an enhanced X-Mode system that now activates even in reverse, the all-new Subaru Forester is engineered to tackle rough and uneven terrain with confidence.
This off-road capability is underpinned by Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, delivering constant traction and stability across all four wheels for maximum control in all conditions.
To further adapt to changing surfaces and driving styles, Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) lets you fine-tune engine response with two distinct drive modes—so you’re always ready for whatever lies ahead.
*Ground clearance at kerb weight.
