Improved ground clearance, and recalibrated engine and transmission now make the new 2026 Forester Wilderness more capable off-road than before.

No huge changes come under the skin when compared to the outgoing 2025 Forester Wilderness; 2026 models actually lose two horsepower, down to 180, but gain two pound-feet of torque, up to 178. Subaru says the engine and transmission have been retuned to make more of that power accessible at lower engine speeds.

With exclusive design elements improved towing capacity the 2026 Forester Wilderness blends capability with comfort for an upgraded driving experience
