FAQs for Subaru Forester SUVs
What are the Subaru Forester trim levels?
Subaru Forester SUVs are available for purchase or lease in six trims, including the Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Wilderness, and Touring. In addition, the Subaru Forester Hybrid delivers a gasoline-hybrid powertrain in four trims, including the Premium Hybrid, Sport Hybrid, Limited Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid.
Is the Subaru Forester bigger than the Subaru Outback?
No, the Subaru Forester is smaller than the Subaru Outback. Subaru Forester SUVs provide up to 74.4 cubic feet of cargo space, and 2026 Subaru Outback SUVs provide up to 80.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity. While both models are 68.1 inches tall, the Subaru Forester measures 183.3 inches long and 72.0 inches wide. In comparison, the Subaru Outback measures in at 192.3 inches long and 75.8 inches wide.
Do all Subaru Foresters have sunroofs?
Subaru Forester Premium and higher trims come with a standard Panoramic Power Moonroof that provides incredible access to natural lighting and fresh air. While moonroofs are a type of sunroof, a moonroof often provides a larger glass panel that can retract or tilt open.
Is a Subaru Forester an SUV or a crossover?
Subaru Forester models are crossover SUVs, which combine the unibody design of a car with the spacious flexibility of an SUV. Traditional SUVs use a body-on-frame design, which is heavier and more rugged than a unibody design. However, the Subaru Forester comes with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance to provide competitive off-road performance compared to other crossovers.
What is the difference between the 2025 and 2026 Subaru Forester?
2026 Subaru Forester SUVs introduce the completely redesigned Wilderness trim, including 9.3 inches of ground clearance, high-capacity raised roof rails, a front skid plate, additional protective cladding, and an uprated maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
