The all-new Subaru Forester arrives with impressive capabilities and advanced features that make it an excellent choice for adventure-ready drivers in the greater Cincinnati area.

At Busam Subaru, we're excited to showcase this versatile, compact Subaru SUV that combines rugged performance with modern technology.

Performance

The 2026 Subaru Forester features a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine producing 180 horsepower, paired with the Subaru marque's Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). Drivers appreciate the standard full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) system that provides confident handling in various weather conditions. The naturally aspirated engine with dual active valve control system delivers reliable performance while achieving up to 29 mpg in combined fuel economy for commuters in Hamilton, OH.

Technology

Technology takes center stage with available Subaru multimedia systems ranging from dual 7.0-inch displays to the impressive 11.6-inch multimedia plus touchscreen and navigation. Cincinnati families will enjoy features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, voice-activated controls, and built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability. The available Harman Kardon speaker system with 11 speakers creates an immersive audio experience.

Interior

Inside, the 2026 Subaru Forester offers seating for five passengers with various upholstery options including cloth, premium textured cloth, StarTex, and perforated leather-trimmed materials. Families will appreciate the folding split-bench rear seats and available heated front and rear seats. The panoramic sunroof brings natural light into the cabin, while power-adjustable driver seats with memory settings add convenience for commuters in Middletown, OH.

Safety Systems

Safety remains a priority with standard EyeSight driver assist technology, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and collision mitigation. Drivers benefit from additional features like blind spot detection, reverse automatic braking, and the available aerial view camera system. As well, the 2026 Subaru Forester earned recognition for its protective structure with standard front, side, curtain, and knee airbags for families to rely upon in Oxford, OH.
