The Subaru Forester has long been a favorite for Treasure Coast drivers who crave versatility, comfort, and confidence behind the wheel. With the arrival of the new 2026 Subaru Forester Sport, Subaru takes everything that made the 2025 model great and adds even more refinement, capability, and technology.
At Dyer Subaru in Vero Beach, FL, we’re taking a closer look at what’s new for 2026 — and helping you decide if upgrading your Forester is the right move for your next adventure.
Performance and Capability
Both the 2025 and 2026 Subaru Forester Sport models feature Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a 2.5-liter BOXER® engine, delivering balanced power and stability in any condition.
For 2026, Subaru has fine-tuned the performance even further. The updated engine produces 180 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Lineartronic® CVT for smooth acceleration and enhanced fuel efficiency.
Whether you’re cruising along A1A near Vero Beach, tackling weekend adventures in Sebastian or Melbourne, or heading out on I-95, the Forester Sport offers the confident traction and control that Subaru is known for.
Questions to consider:
- How important is all-wheel drive for your Florida lifestyle?
- Do you value smoother acceleration or higher horsepower for your daily drives?
Design and Exterior Updates
The 2026 Forester Sport brings a bolder, more athletic design — with sharper lines, a refined front fascia, and an assertive stance. Dark-finish wheels and signature orange accents maintain the adventurous personality Forester fans love.
Compared to the 2025 model, the 2026 version adds enhanced aerodynamics and a wider stance for improved road presence, while retaining all the practical elements drivers need, including roof rails, rugged cladding, and generous cargo space.
Ask yourself:
- Do you prefer the bold, refreshed look of the 2026 Forester Sport?
- Would exterior styling influence your decision to upgrade?
Interior Comfort and Technology
Step inside the 2026 Subaru Forester Sport, and you’ll find a cabin designed for comfort, convenience, and connectivity. The 2026 model introduces Subaru’s 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, offering seamless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
You’ll also notice higher-quality materials, improved sound insulation, and smarter storage — all designed to make long drives or beach trips from Vero Beach to Palm Bay more enjoyable.
Questions to think about:
- How important is having a larger touchscreen and upgraded connectivity in your next vehicle?
- Would quieter cabin acoustics enhance your driving experience?
Safety You Can Count On
Every 2026 Forester now comes standard with the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, improving pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane-centering response. Subaru’s long-standing reputation for safety continues — with the 2026 model refining protection even further for drivers in Indian River County and beyond.
Consider:
- Does enhanced safety tech make you feel more confident behind the wheel?
- How does Subaru’s EyeSight® compare to other SUV brands you’ve driven?
