What is the 2026 Subaru Forester Premium Hybrid?

The third-cheapest of the Forester's ten trims in our data. The Premium Hybrid starts at $34,730. On price, it sits between the Premium ($31,995) and the Sport ($34,795).

Our Forester data has all ten US 2026 , gas and four conventional , plus factory OP 15, 24, 25, 33 and 42; Sport Onyx Edition is Sport OP 25. It doesn't have paint and interior colors, port or retailer , finance incentives, and announced 2027 models including Wilderness Hybrid yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Lowest listed trim price in each guide, before destination, options, taxes and fees. Cab and body styles can differ.
  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Best published combined rating found in each guide, including regular hybrids. Plug-in ratings and inferred matches are excluded.
