Subaru EyeSight Technology That Watches the Road With You
Safety in the 2026 Subaru Forester starts with the latest version of Subaru EyeSight driver assist technology, now enhanced with a wide-angle mono camera. This added perspective improves pedestrian and cyclist detection, especially at intersections where visibility matters most. Features like pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane centering work together seamlessly, creating a safety net that feels supportive rather than intrusive.
Driver Assist Features That Reduce Fatigue

Long drives and stop-and-go traffic feel easier thanks to the Forester’s intelligent driver assistance systems. Lane keep assist helps maintain proper positioning, while adaptive cruise control adjusts speed smoothly with traffic flow. These features are especially useful during daily commuting or highway travel, helping drivers stay focused and relaxed without relying on constant manual corrections.
Infotainment That Feels Clean and Intuitive
Technology inside the 2026 Subaru Forester is designed to be clear and accessible. Available features include an 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen, which places navigation, media, and vehicle controls within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration removes the need for cables, while available wireless charging keeps devices powered without cluttering the console. The interface feels responsive and easy to learn, even for drivers who prefer simplicity.
Visibility and Lighting That Build Confidence
Seeing and being seen is a key part of safety, and the Forester takes this seriously. Advanced lighting systems improve nighttime visibility and help drivers react sooner to changing conditions. Combined with Subaru’s thoughtful cabin layout and clear sightlines, the 2026 Subaru Forester makes it easier to stay aware of everything happening around you.
Convenience Tech That Supports Daily Life
Available features like the hands-free power liftgate with kick sensor make everyday tasks simpler, especially when your hands are full. These small but meaningful touches show how Subaru focuses on real-world usability, not just flashy specs. Everything is designed to work smoothly in the background, making daily driving feel less demanding.
