The 2026 Subaru Forester Hybrid didn’t just meet our expectations… it blew past them. In this review, Craig Cole gets into what makes this compact SUV tick, how the hybrid powertrain performs in real-world driving, and whether it can hold its own against the Honda CR-V Hybrid and the freshly redesigned Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. There’s a lot working in the Forester’s favor and honestly, only one thing that might give you pause. The good news? Most people won’t lose a minute of sleep over it. Watch this video to see why this AWD vehicle isn’t just for Subaru purists. It’s for “normal” people too!
