To witness this compact SUV’s advanced safety and versatile performance, visit North Country Subaru today. We’re conveniently located near Lake George.
Safety
Your wellbeing will be prioritized in the Forester, courtesy of EyeSight®3 Driver-Assist Technology. Fatigue is a major contributing factor to accidents, and that’s where the available DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System4 steps in. This feature recognizes inattentive habits, and it provides a message on the available 12.3-inch instrument panel so you know when to take a break. If there is another car adjacent to you while your turn signal is on, the optional Blind-Spot Detection5 system will illuminate an icon on the corresponding side-view mirror. This will prevent you from performing a poorly timed lane change. You’ll be covered while parallel parking as well, since the available 360-degree Surround View Monitor provides a bird’s-eye view of the SUV while reversing. Lastly, in the unfortunate event an accident occurs, eight standard airbags6 will automatically deploy to cushion the impact.
Performance
With the aforementioned features in place, you can confidently unleash the full potential of the 2026 Subaru Forester. A standard 2.5L 4-cylinder system idles in the engine bay, and it revs up to 180 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. This powertrain is propelled by a standard Lineartronic® Continually Variable Transmission, and you can upgrade this gearbox to include an 8-speed manual mode. Do your summers consist of bringing jet skis to Lake George Beach? A 1,500-lb. maximum towing capacity7 will provide the necessary strength for your journey. You won’t experience interruptions on the way either, because a 26/33 MPG city/hwy8 fuel economy rating carries you for the duration of the trek. With a full 16.6-gallon gas tank, this is equivalent to a 547-mile drive range9.
Exterior
The 2026 Forester comes standard with an 8.7-inch ground clearance, but you can access a 9.3-inch ride height with the Wilderness edition. Pair that with all-terrain tires, and this trim level is ideal for muddy trails, snowy landscapes, and rain-soaked roadways. Do you plan on using this SUV for daily commutes and weekend carpools? Sticking with the standard all-season tires will provide the traction and handling you need. For gear that won’t fit in the cargo space, the standard raised roof rails have integrated tie-down points and a 176-lb. dynamic maximum capacity. This means you can effortlessly carry a kayak or bike to the campgrounds. Lastly, you can inject extra style into the vehicle’s presence with the optional stainless steel exhaust outlet and Crystal Black Silica-finished folding side mirrors.

I recently purchased a new Forester hybrid and it was an excellent overall experience.
Excellent sales team, competitive pricing, up front about every stage of the transaction and clear about all the options.
“ Excellent sales team, competitive pricing, up front about every stage of the transaction and clear about all the options. They have provided exceptional service on the 2016 model Subaru Forester I traded-in, so confident in the same moving forward with my new car. Patiently answered all my questions and found answers, if they didn't have an answer at their fingertips. Strongly recommend them if you are considering buying a new Subaru or need to have your current Subaru serviced by an exceptional, knowledgeable team. ”
Your service team is very much worthy of a 5-star review.
“ Your service team is very much worthy of a 5-star review. My 2021 Subaru Forester has been in your shop in recent months for a couple of significant repairs/maintenance tasks (thermo-control valve failure and 100,000 mile maintenance) but your service team has gone above and beyond in each of the visits I have had. Special shout out to Kevin Green who has made sure the work has been done correctly and in timely fashion while making sure that the accommodations are in order when I need to leave the car at the shop for the day. My Forester runs good as new! I will be a returning customer for future needs. ”
