What is the 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness?
The fifth most expensive of the Forester's ten trims in our data. The Wilderness starts at $36,995. On price, it sits between the Limited ($35,995) and the Sport Hybrid ($37,930).
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.
