Built for the bold, the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness is purpose-engineered for drivers who crave exploration beyond the pavement. From its elevated ride height to its trail-ready traction, this special edition brings rugged performance to the compact SUV class. At Rafferty Subaru, we’re proud to offer a model that’s as comfortable in the wild as it is on your daily drive.
Elevated Design for Uneven Terrain
With 9.2 inches of ground clearance, the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness gives drivers more freedom to tackle rocks, ruts, and rough trails. Revised front and rear bumpers create improved approach and departure angles, while robust underbody skid plates help protect critical components. Matte black wheels and Yokohama GEOLANDAR® all-terrain tires provide reliable grip and toughness under demanding conditions.
Off-Road Traction and Control
The Subaru Forester Wilderness features Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® with enhanced tuning for off-road use. Dual-function X-MODE® lets drivers select Snow/Dirt or Deep Snow/Mud settings, which automatically adjust throttle response, braking, and AWD engagement. Hill descent control comes standard, helping the SUV maintain stability and speed on steep, loose surfaces without driver intervention.
Built for Low-Speed Power and Utility
Powering the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness is a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine paired with a specially tuned LinearTronic™ CVT and a shorter final-drive ratio. This setup delivers 182 horsepower and more low-end torque to the wheels—ideal for crawling over obstacles or pulling through mud. The model also supports a 3,000-lb towing capacity, giving you plenty of room to bring bikes, kayaks, or even a lightweight camper.
