Between soccer practice in Newton Square, weekend hikes through Wissahickon Valley, and muddy paws after dog park visits, the 2026 Subaru Forester appeals to active families with 180 horsepower, water-resistant upholstery options, and over 74 cubic feet of cargo space. Rafferty Subaru is here to show Philadelphia-area families how this compact SUV transitions seamlessly from morning commutes to spontaneous outdoor excursions. Take a closer look at some highlights.
Cargo Versatility for Sports Equipment and Outdoor Gear
The 60/40 split-folding rear seats in the 2026 Subaru Forester create configurations that accommodate mountain bikes, camping equipment, and lacrosse gear without leaving anything behind. With up to 29.6 cubic feet behind upright seats expanding to up to 74.4 cubic feet total, this SUV swallows weekend adventure essentials while maintaining comfortable seating for five passengers. The flat loading floor simplifies organizing hiking boots, coolers, and pet supplies, while the available hands-free power liftgate opens with a simple foot wave when arms are full.
Adventure-Ready Performance for All Seasons
The 2026 Subaru Forester is ready to roam whenever you are. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® delivers confident traction whether navigating wet autumn leaves along Main Line roads or tackling snow-covered trails in Pennsylvania state parks. The 2.5-liter BOXER® engine produces 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque for responsive highway passing and confident hill climbing. Available X-MODE® with dual-function settings enhances grip during challenging conditions, giving drivers control when exploring unpaved trails or navigating steep boat ramps.
Practical Interior Design That Handles Active Lifestyles
When you’re inside the 2026 Subaru Forester, you’ll surely be satisfied with the amenities and design. Available water-resistant StarTex™ upholstery in Sport and Wilderness trims resists moisture from rain-soaked athletic gear and damp hiking clothes, wiping clean with minimal effort. The panoramic moonroof floods the cabin with natural light during scenic drives, while heated front seats provide comfort after early morning runs. The 11.6-inch StarLink™ touchscreen integrates wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, keeping families connected during carpools and road trips.
