Camden, N.J.
The 2027 Subaru Forester is available in four trim levels: Base, Premium, Wilderness, and Limited, while the 2027 Subaru Forester Hybrid will be available in five trim levels: Premium Hybrid, Sport Hybrid, Wilderness Hybrid, Limited Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid. The gas-only Forester Sport, Sport Onyx Edition, and Touring trim levels have been discontinued.
All 2027 Subaru Forester trim levels are equipped with at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance, legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and EyeSight® Driver-Assist Technologies. A Subaru 11.6-inch Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility is standard on most Forester models, while a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster is standard on Forester Wilderness and all Forester Hybrid trim levels, including the new Forester Wilderness Hybrid.
As the newest entry in the Forester lineup, the 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid pairs Subaru’s next-generation series-parallel hybrid powertrain with 9.3 inches of ground clearance. With Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE® Dual-Mode, and Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires, the new 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid is designed to hit the trail — and keep going. The first-ever Subaru Wilderness model with a hybrid powertrain offers better fuel economy than the gas-only Forester Wilderness without compromising all-wheel-drive capability.
Gas-powered Subaru Forester models are powered by a 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER® engine that produces 180 horsepower. Forester Hybrid models are powered by a specially developed, Atkinson/Miller-cycle 2.5-liter Subaru BOXER® engine paired with electric motors and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, producing 194 combined horsepower. All Forester trim levels are equipped with a Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
