2026 Subaru Forester shown above with optional features.
When you get behind the wheel of the 2026 Subaru Forester, you’ll have efficiency and practical features on your side. This compact SUV has AWD, driver assist technology, and other practical features. Find it here at Sheehy Subaru of Fredericksburg during our sales hours!
Exterior
The 2026 Forester blends rugged utility with refined style, offering color options like Autumn Green Metallic, River Rock Metallic1, and Ice Silver Metallic1—inspired by the natural beauty of nearby destinations like Smith Lake Park. The SUV features 8.1 inches of ground clearance, allowing it to confidently navigate uneven terrain, gravel roads, and seasonal conditions common throughout the Stafford area. If you want to bump up the height even more, you can opt for the available 19-inch wheels. Other useful features include the standard raised roof rails that can hold onto your outdoor equipment to Smith Lake Park. Meanwhile, the optional LED fog lights can help you navigate misty weather that’s common if you venture close to the coast.
Performance
As you make your way down on I-95, you can use the full might of the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine to propel the vehicle forward. With up to 180 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque, you’ll have more than enough energy for the drive. This powertrain is paired with a Lineartronic® Continuously Variable Transmission, which provides smooth acceleration and optimized fuel efficiency. As a result, the vehicle boasts a 26/33 MPG city/hwy2 fuel economy rating. A defining feature of the 2026 Subaru Forester is its standard Symmetrical AWD. While many compact SUVs reserve AWD for higher trims, Subaru equips every Forester with this capability, giving even the base model confident traction and performance across varying road conditions.
Safety
We would also like to highlight the many safety features found on the Forester, such as the Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert3. This feature allows you to stay aware of other vehicles while you’re moving along busy multi-lane highways. You’ll also have the standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology4 suite that includes Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering. And if you happen to find yourself in a crowded parking lot, you’ll have an optional 360-degree Surround View Monitor to rely upon. A full view of the area around your SUV is available on the multimedia display so that you can avoid obstacles more easily. A standard tire pressure monitoring system ensures you’re always kept informed about this critical part of your vehicle. If you would like to test out these features for yourself, come by our dealership near Stafford!

Testimonials
Super happy with this dealership.
I will choose Sheehy again.
“ Steve Kane at the service desk and Gary the technician treated me with sympathy and respect. My vehicle and I were towed in after breaking down on I95. Even though the service department was busy, they looked at my outback in short order, explained and physically showed me the problem. They resolved my issue so that I could get back home safely. I appreciated that Gary spent time with me to show me the under belly of my car and pinpoint my problem and that he wrote a detailed explanation on the paperwork receipt. If I ever need service again in or near Fredericksburg, I will choose Sheehy again. ”

“ Super happy with this dealership. Found my dream car online, used. Had all my stuff in order, and went to the dealership and was out of there in an hour and a half with my new car. Super easy process. Really nice sales people and finance people. I hate haggling and this dealership doesn't believe in haggling. The price of the car was more than fair. For all the bells and whistles that it had on it. Sam was fantastic, and helped me through the whole process. ”
