Why it stands out

The 2026 Subaru Forester stands out as a rugged, capability-focused crossover SUV. Subaru gives the Forester Wilderness all-terrain tyres, increased ground clearance, improved approach, breakover, and departure angles, drivetrain modifications for better traction, added underbody protection, and a full-size all-terrain spare tyre. Those changes make it especially appealing to buyers who want a compact SUV that is better prepared for rough roads and unexpected conditions than a typical crossover.

It is also designed with practicality in mind. Subaru adds styling changes that communicate the model’s off-road intent, and the interior is set up for easy clean-up after muddy or dusty outings. All 2026 Forester models also receive a new centre console design and updated protection for rear passengers in a collision, which broadens the appeal beyond the Wilderness version’s trail-ready focus.

There are still trade-offs to consider. The Forester Wilderness is described as having potentially polarising design, sluggish performance, and a dissatisfying infotainment system. Even so, its combination of utility, safety, and genuine off-road ability gives it a distinctive place among crossover SUVs.
