Miles Overview
The 2026 Forester is a compact SUV that blends everyday practicality with genuine off-road capability, slotting between the Crosstrek and Outback in Subaru's lineup. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Mazda CX-5, but its standard all-wheel drive and rugged styling set it apart. The Forester's boxer engine sits low, which keeps the center of gravity down and gives it a stable, planted feel on winding roads. Ride comfort is generally composed, though the Wilderness trim's off-road suspension is noticeably firmer on pavement. With generous cargo space, a tall roofline, and easy access, the Forester is one of the most practical small SUVs for families and outdoor gear. The base Forester skips the Sport trim's dark accents and paddle shifters but keeps the same capable all-wheel drive and gets you a lower starting price. Its 2.5L DOHC Subaru Boxer Engine W/ Auto Start Stop makes 180 horsepower and pairs with a CVT that smooths out around-town driving, earning 29 mpg combined. Standard roof rails with tie-downs come on every Forester, but the base trim's 17-inch wheels give a slightly softer highway ride than the Sport's larger ones.
