Performance
Subaru is adamant about providing drivers with effective strength, so they placed a 2.5L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine in the 2026 Forester Touring. The powertrain kicks out 180 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque, stats that signify a masterfully refined system. In addition to the overall performance, this SUV comes with a Lineartronic® Continually Variable Transmission with an 8-speed manual mode. This provides seamless gear shifting during acceleration, and it gives you an opportunity for more control over transitions through the latter drive settings. Because of its versatility, the aforementioned mechanisms provide the Forester Touring with efficiency, which is seen in the 25/32/28 MPG city/hwy/combined¹ fuel economy rating. Meanwhile, the Symmetrical AWD configuration allows you to easily cruise on routes like Jefferson Davis Highway when the path is slick from rain.
Exterior Features
Like many other editions that came before it, the 2026 Subaru Forester Touring is equipped with robust, galvanized steel panels. The dips, curves, and bevels you see on the model help reduce aerodynamic drag, which contributes to efficiency. Plus, it gives the SUV a striking aesthetic that will turn heads at places like Hope Springs Marina. The bold rocker and fender panels have returned. These components complement the design of the 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which have a Dark Gray machined finish. To give this vehicle an edge over unexpected weather conditions, Subaru installed rain-sensing windshield wipers with de-icer. When precipitation begins, these parts will begin functioning autonomously, whether it’s raining or snowing. The low-profile roof rails are excellent for reducing wind noise, and they are useful for optional roof boxes and bicycle racks. 
Interior Features 
No matter the time of year, the Subaru Forester Touring is prepared to provide comfort to all passengers. The dual-zone automatic climate control system lets you choose one temperature for yourself, while the front copilot selects another setting. Combine the air configurations together and generate a singular temperature within the entire cabin. During the coldest months of the year, the heated front and rear seats will keep everyone warm. If you’d like to expand the storage capabilities of this model, fold down the back chairs and use the 69.1 cubic ft. of cargo space². When everything is secure in the cabin, sit in the driver’s seat and utilize the Subaru 11.6-inch multimedia display at the center stack. This device has several amenities, including on-board navigation. If you’d like to know how this vehicle works, schedule a test drive online and then visit us at your earliest convenience.
