Power and Performance

Unlike hybrid SUVs that use electric motors as a standalone rear axle, the 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid uses Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® with a physical drivetrain connection from front to rear. Its 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine, high-capacity lithium-ion battery, and electric motors combine to produce 194 total system horsepower managed by a Lineartronic® CVT.

The ground clearance in this model stands at 9.3 inches-a healthy boost from the standard Subaru Forester Hybrid. Approach and departure angles are also improved, and the X-MODE® Dual-Mode System with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings handles varied terrain throughout Northern Virginia and beyond. With up to 25 percent better fuel economy than the standard Subaru Forester Wilderness, you can adventure for longer without needing a pitstop.

Technology Features

Inside, this new Subaru model features a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster with Apple Maps integration and an 11.6-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard on every trim. A Harman Kardon® audio system with 11 speakers provides premium audio throughout the cabin. The Wilderness-exclusive gray textured StarTex® seating is animal-free and weather-resistant, and standard all-weather floor mats keep the interior clean after outdoor use.

Safety Features

Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is standard across all 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid trim levels. This suite proactively monitors the road ahead to help you avoid any potential hazards. Its features include:

  • Emergency Lane Keep Assist
  • Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Automatic Emergency Steering
  • Lane Change Assist
  • Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
  • Emergency Stop Assist

Cargo Utility

The cargo space behind the rear seats of the 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid measures 27.5 cubic feet, expanding to more than 69 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. A power rear gate provides easy access to the full load floor. On the outside, raised, ladder-type roof rails with an 800-lb static load capacity come standard, giving you extra versatility for carrying gear on your next journey.
