Introducing the First-Ever 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid

The all-new 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid is Subaru’s first Wilderness model equipped with the brand’s next-generation hybrid powertrain. It produces 194 total system horsepower, offers an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 481 miles on a full tank, delivers approximately 25% better city fuel economy than the gas-powered Forester Wilderness and maintains the legendary capability of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 9.3 inches of ground clearance and Dual-Function X-MODE®. Manufacturer pricing will be announced closer to its arrival in late 2026.

Pricing Disclaimer: Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2027 Subaru Forester Wilderness Hybrid was not available at the time of publication. Pricing, specifications, equipment and availability are subject to change. Contact Glassman Subaru for the latest information regarding availability and pricing.

For decades, Subaru has built vehicles for drivers who enjoy exploring beyond the pavement. The Wilderness lineup elevated that capability with additional ground clearance, all-terrain tires and rugged styling. Now, Subaru combines those adventure-ready features with improved efficiency by introducing the first-ever 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid.

The result is a compact SUV designed for drivers who want to spend less time at the fuel pump without giving up the confidence of Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive or the capability expected from a Wilderness model. Whether commuting through Metro Detroit, heading Up North for camping or tackling snowy Michigan roads, the Forester Wilderness Hybrid is engineered to handle changing conditions while maximizing everyday usability.

Why the 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid Stands Out

The Forester Wilderness Hybrid introduces Subaru’s newest series-parallel hybrid system, pairing a 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine with electric motors to produce a combined 194 horsepower. The hybrid system has been engineered to provide smooth acceleration while improving fuel efficiency during city driving.

• 194 total system horsepower
• EPA-estimated 481-mile driving range
• Approximately 25% better city MPG than the gasoline Forester Wilderness
• Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
• Dual-Function X-MODE® with Snow/Dirt and Deep Snow/Mud settings
• 9.3 inches of ground clearance
• 17-inch matte-black alloy wheels
• Yokohama Geolandar® all-terrain tires
• Improved approach, breakover and departure angles
• 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity when properly equipped
• 800-pound static roof rail capacity for rooftop tents and gear

While many hybrid SUVs are designed primarily for commuting, the Forester Wilderness Hybrid continues Subaru’s commitment to outdoor capability. Its upgraded suspension, rugged body cladding, skid plate protection and all-terrain tires make it well suited for gravel roads, forest trails and changing weather conditions.

Towing Disclaimer: Maximum towing capability requires proper vehicle configuration and equipment. Towing capacity varies by equipment, cargo and vehicle configuration. Always consult the owner’s manual before towing.

Adventure Capability Meets Modern Subaru Technology

Beyond its hybrid powertrain, the 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid receives numerous technology and comfort upgrades designed to improve every drive. The interior features durable StarTex® water-resistant upholstery with Wilderness accents, making cleanup easier after hiking, biking or weekend adventures.

Premium Interior Designed for Everyday Adventures

Inside the cabin, Subaru combines durability with modern technology. Drivers will find an 11.6-inch Subaru Multimedia touchscreen, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Multiple USB-C charging ports and available wireless charging help keep devices powered throughout longer trips.

The spacious interior continues to make the Forester one of Subaru’s most practical SUVs. Flexible cargo space, wide-opening rear doors and excellent outward visibility make loading passengers, pets and outdoor equipment simple for everyday use.

Every Forester Wilderness Hybrid also comes standard with the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, including advanced driver-assistance systems designed to help monitor surrounding traffic and assist during changing driving conditions.

Driver Assistance Disclaimer: Driver-assistance technologies are designed to assist the driver and are not replace safe, attentive driving. Features may have limitations and availability may vary by trim level. Always remain attentive while operating the vehicle.
