The RAV4 Hybrid leads on fuel economy and towing, and both rivals offer more cargo space. The Forester Hybrid stands out with standard full-time mechanical all-wheel drive, at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance, X-MODE on every trim, and a new Wilderness Hybrid, which matters most on snowy canyon roads and unpaved trailheads. Figures from each manufacturer as of September 2026 and can vary by trim.
How the Forester Hybrid Works
The Forester Hybrid uses Subaru's series-parallel hybrid system. A 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER engine works with electric motors and a lithium-ion battery, and it can move on electric power alone at low speeds around town.

Room for Real Life
The Forester Hybrid keeps the gas Forester's tall, boxy shape, big windows, and wide rear opening, with 27.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 69.1 cubic feet with them folded. It's easy to load with kids, dogs, bikes, and camping gear.
It's backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile Hybrid System Limited Warranty covering the high-voltage battery and hybrid components. See the Subaru warranty booklet for complete terms.
Driving a Forester Hybrid in Northern Utah
The Forester Hybrid is a strong fit for Northern Utah families who drive a lot of miles. Its 35 MPG and 581-mile range cut fuel costs on commutes between Ogden and Salt Lake City and stretch weekend trips to Bear Lake or southern Utah's national parks.
In winter, full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE Dual-Mode, and at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance handle snowy canyon roads and ski days at Snowbasin and Powder Mountain, and the Wilderness Hybrid adds all-terrain tires for unplowed trailheads. If you want a smaller hybrid, our team can also show you the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid.

What is the Forester Hybrid's gas mileage?
The 2026 Forester Hybrid earns an EPA-estimated 35 MPG city, 34 MPG highway, and 35 MPG combined, with up to 581 miles of range per tank. It's a full hybrid, so there's nothing to plug in, and it runs on regular 87-octane gas. EPA ratings for the 2027 Wilderness Hybrid haven't been published yet. Actual mileage will vary.
Does the Forester Hybrid have AWD, and which trim is best for Utah winters?
Yes. Every Forester Hybrid has standard full-time Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, X-MODE Dual-Mode, and at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance. For Utah winters, the Limited Hybrid adds a heated steering wheel, and the Touring Hybrid adds heated rear seats. The new Wilderness Hybrid is the best pick for deep snow and unplowed roads, with 9.3 inches of clearance, all-terrain tires, and a heated steering wheel. Dedicated winter tires make a big difference on any trim.
Is the Forester Hybrid worth it over the gas Forester?
For drivers who put on a lot of miles, it often is. The hybrid adds 14 horsepower, improves combined fuel economy to 35 MPG, and extends range to 581 miles per tank. For a 76-mile round-trip commute to Salt Lake City, it saves an estimated $390 a year in fuel compared with a gas Forester rated at 29 MPG. The gas Forester makes more sense if you want the lowest starting price or 3,500 pounds of towing from the gas Wilderness.
What warranty comes with the Forester Hybrid?
The Forester Hybrid is covered by Subaru's 3-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and an 8-year/100,000-mile Hybrid System Limited Warranty that covers the high-voltage battery, electric motors, and related hybrid components, whichever comes first. See the Subaru warranty booklet for complete terms.
How does the Forester Hybrid compare to the RAV4 Hybrid and CR-V Hybrid?
The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid earns better fuel economy, up to 42 MPG combined with AWD, and tows up to 3,500 pounds on some trims. The Honda CR-V Hybrid offers more cargo space. The Forester Hybrid is the only one of the three with full-time mechanical all-wheel drive standard on every trim, plus at least 8.7 inches of ground clearance, X-MODE, and a new Wilderness Hybrid, making it the strongest pick for snow and dirt roads.
What's new for the 2027 Forester Hybrid?
The biggest news for 2027 is the new Forester Wilderness Hybrid, the first Subaru Wilderness model with a hybrid powertrain, starting at $40,495. It adds 9.3 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and enhanced underbody protection. Every returning Forester Hybrid trim keeps its 2026 price, and the 2027 models arrive at retailers later this fall.
