Posted on May 3, 2025
Adventure lovers, the wait is almost over. Subaru Canada is preparing to unleash the 2026 Forester Wilderness, and it’s everything outdoor enthusiasts have been hoping for. Designed to conquer Canada’s rugged backroads, snowy trails, and endless camping routes, this version of the Forester is tougher, taller, and more trail-ready than ever.
Subaru has always been a favourite for drivers who crave comfort on pavement and confidence on gravel. But the Wilderness badge takes things a step further. With more ground clearance, X-MODE® system and all-terrain tires helps drive more ambitious adventures. Plus, with trail-focused upgrades and signature Subaru capability, the 2026 Forester Wilderness isn’t just a crossover—it’s a tool for going beyond the map.
Engineered for Off-Road Adventures
At its core, the Forester Wilderness is built for the kind of challenges Ontario drivers face head-on. This SUV is ready for weekend camping trips, rough cottage roads, or snowy mountain drives thanks to increased ground clearance, rugged skid plates, and all-terrain tires.
Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system remains the hero, offering balanced handling and grip no matter the terrain. Whether you’re traversing muddy trails or snowy hillsides, the 2026 Forester Wilderness is built to handle it all with poise.
Its re-tuned suspension and improved approach and departure angles make it more capable of riding on rocky and uneven paths while maintaining the ride comfort for which Subaru is known. And if you’re towing a trailer or loading up for a long trip? No problem—this Forester comes equipped with a higher towing capacity and durable roof rails for your gear.
Rugged Design With Purpose
The Forester Wilderness doesn’t just act the part—it looks the part, too. It wears rugged front and rear bumpers, cladding that protects against trail scratches, and a bold matte-black grille. You’ll also spot the distinctive copper-coloured accents that set the Wilderness trim apart from the regular lineup.
It’s available in eye-catching colours like Geyser Blue and Autumn Green Metallic—shades that reflect the wild spirit of Canadian landscapes. Even the wheels are different, with 17-inch matte black alloys designed to handle dirt and gravel confidentlyconfidently handle dirt and gravel.
Smart Tech for Wild Roads
Inside, you’ll find an interior made to withstand adventure. Water-resistant StarTex® seating surfaces keep things easy to clean after a muddy hike or beach day. The cabin also features rugged Wilderness badging, copper stitching, and textured materials that balance form with function.
Technology isn’t sacrificed either. The latest Subaru infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and an available 11.6-inch touchscreen for easy navigation and media control. Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology also comes standard—giving you peace of mind whether you’re on the highway or deep in the woods.
Built for Canadian Conditions
Canada throws everything at your car—snow, rain, gravel, and ice. That’s why Subaru made sure the Forester Wilderness is ready for anything. Heated front seats come standard, and there are options for a heated steering wheel and all-weather floor mats. With enhanced traction modes and hill descent control, winter road trips and icy commutes are no longer a concern.
This SUV doesn’t fear cold mornings, muddy driveways, or steep climbs. It was made for all four seasons—and all the surprises they bring.
