2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness Review: Enhanced Off-Road Capabilities

When Subaru debuted its next-generation 2024 Forester, there was one trim missing: the popular Wilderness. A 2025 Forester Wilderness was still available but only on the outgoing platform and with limited production. Enter the 2026 model, keeping the off-road vibes going in Subaru’s top-selling compact SUV while adding a long list of changes. Fundamentally, this isn’t a huge departure from the previous Wilderness flavor, nor does it need to be. This latest update simply enhances its off-road chops while adding more refinement and durability inside.
