Subaru will add a hybrid to its Wilderness subbrand with the 2027 Forester Wilderness Hybrid, which is on track to reach showrooms by the end of 2026.
The Forester Wilderness Hybrid will be offered in a single, well-equipped trim with an 11-speaker Harman/Kardon stereo, a 12.3-inch digital gauge, in-dash navigation and a power liftgate. It wears rugged exterior cues, rides on matte-black 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, has 9.3 inches of ground clearance and added underbody protection.
