The 60/40-split folding rear seats and wide rear gate make it easier to accommodate larger items, whether the destination is a home-improvement store, a weekend getaway or an outdoor activity. TECHNOLOGY AND SAFETY The Forester Hybrid comes with Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which includes a range of active safety and driver-assistance functions. Automatic Pre-Collision Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering and other systems are part of the technology package. Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are standard on the Hybrid trims, while Reverse Automatic Braking is standard on the Sport Hybrid, Limited Hybrid and Touring Hybrid. The available equipment list grows with the trim level. Depending on configuration, buyers can add features such as navigation, a Harman Kardon premium audio
system, a panoramic moonroof, heated rear seats and a 360-degree Surround View Monitor. THE VERDICT The 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid adds efficiency to a formula already centered on practicality and all-weather capability. Its 194-horsepower hybrid system, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and generous cargo capacity make it a versatile choice for drivers who want a vehicle suited to both weekday responsibilities and weekend travel. For Northern Rhode Island, the timing is especially appropriate. As temperatures drop and weather becomes less predictable, having standard all-wheel drive and a practical cabin can be valuable. Add the hybrid system's improved fuel economy and 581-mile maximum estimated range, and the Forester Hybrid makes a strong case for itself as an everyday New England vehicle.
